  • 2. 

    A ___ of water

    • Piece

    • Slice

    • Bottle 

    Correct Answer
    A. Bottle 
    Explanation
    In this question, the phrase "a ___ of water" suggests that we need to fill in the blank with a word that can be used to measure water. While both "piece" and "slice" do not fit this context, "bottle" is a suitable answer as it is commonly used to hold and measure water.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Is Air countable or uncountable? 

    • Countable

    • Uncountable

    Correct Answer
    A. Uncountable
    Explanation
    "Air" is considered an uncountable noun. It refers to the mixture of gasses that surrounds the Earth, and it is typically used in a general sense without a plural form. For example, you would say "There is a lot of air in this room" rather than "airs." In specific contexts, like discussing types of air (e.g., "the airs of the city"), it can have a countable sense, but that usage is less common.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    They are building ___________new flats on our road.

    • Some

    • Any

    Correct Answer
    A. Some
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "some" because it indicates an unspecified amount or number of new flats being built in our road. It implies that there are at least a few new flats being constructed, but the exact quantity is not specified.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    My sister eats _________________burgers, and that’s not good for her.

    • A lot

    • A lot of

    Correct Answer
    A. A lot of
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a lot of". In the sentence, the word "eats" is followed by a noun, which requires the use of the phrase "a lot of" to indicate a large quantity. "A lot" alone would not be grammatically correct in this context. Therefore, "a lot of" is the appropriate choice to complete the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    You __________ watch a lot of T.V. because it’s not good for your eyes.

    • Should

    • Shouldn't

    Correct Answer
    A. Shouldn't
    Explanation
    Watching a lot of TV is not good for your eyes, so the correct answer is "shouldn't." This implies that it is not advisable or recommended to watch a lot of TV due to the potential harm it can cause to the eyes.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    You must climb __________. You don’t want to fall.

    • Careful

    • Carefully

    Correct Answer
    A. Carefully
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "carefully" because it is an adverb that describes how the action of climbing should be done. Since the sentence mentions not wanting to fall, it implies that caution and precision are necessary while climbing. Therefore, "carefully" is the appropriate adverb to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    My dad speaks Spanish very __________. 

    • Well

    • Good

    Correct Answer
    A. Well
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "well" because it is used as an adverb to describe the verb "speaks." In this context, "well" means that the dad is proficient or skilled in speaking Spanish. "Good" is an adjective and would not be the appropriate word to describe speaking ability.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A: Hello! Is Mike there, please? B: Yes, but he _________________ speak to you at the moment because he’s driving.

    • Can't

    • Doesn't have to

    Correct Answer
    A. Can't
    Explanation
    In the given context, "can't" is used to indicate that Mike is currently unable to speak, and the reason for this inability is that he is driving. It implies a temporary restriction or incapacity due to the ongoing activity of driving.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    We always work __________ in English class!

    • Hard

    • Hardly

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard
    Explanation
    In English lessons, we always work "hard." This means that we put in a lot of effort and dedication into our work. The word "hardly" means almost not at all or barely, which is the opposite of what is being conveyed in the given statement. Therefore, the correct answer is "hard."

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Is it countable or Uncountable? Burger.

    • Countable

    • Uncountable

    Correct Answer
    A. Countable
    Explanation
    The word "Burger" refers to a specific type of food item that is typically made with a patty, bun, and various toppings. It is a singular noun that can be counted, as we can say "one burger" or "two burgers." Therefore, "countable" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    I don’t eat _______________ cheese because my mother never buys it.

    • Many

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The word "much" is the correct answer because it is used to refer to an uncountable noun like cheese. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they don't eat a large quantity of cheese because their mother never buys it. Since cheese is an uncountable noun, we use "much" to indicate a large amount or quantity.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Unfortunately, I lost my __________ at the airport. It went to a different country!

    • Connection

    • Trip

    • Luggage

    Correct Answer
    A. Luggage
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "luggage" because the sentence mentions losing something at the airport and it going to a different country. This suggests that the person lost their luggage, which is typically checked in at the airport and can be transported to different destinations.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    'Do you can play football very well?' Is the sentence correct?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The given sentence is not correct because it contains an error in subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be "Can you play football very well?" where the subject "you" is followed by the correct form of the verb "can".

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Jack is running very __________, but I don’t think he can win.

    • Fast

    • Fastly

    Correct Answer
    A. Fast
    Explanation
    The word "fast" is the correct answer because it is the appropriate adverb to describe how Jack is running. "Fastly" is not a word in the English language, so it is not a valid option.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    A ___ of cake

    • Cup

    • Slice

    • Carton

    Correct Answer
    A. Slice
    Explanation
    A slice of cake is a common phrase used to refer to a portion of cake that has been cut into a thin, flat piece. It is a suitable answer because both "cup" and "carton" do not accurately describe a portion of cake, whereas a slice specifically refers to a piece of cake that has been cut.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    How many people __________ on the plane yesterday?

    • Is

    • Was

    • Were

    Correct Answer
    A. Were
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were" because the word "people" is plural, indicating that there is more than one person. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "were" which is the past tense plural form of the verb "to be".

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    The teacher __________ us our homework yesterday.

    • Give

    • Gave

    • Gives

    Correct Answer
    A. Gave
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "gave" because it is the past tense form of the verb "give" which is used to indicate an action that happened in the past. In this sentence, the teacher performed the action of giving us our homework yesterday, which is why "gave" is the appropriate verb form to use.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    The students are waiting patient for their teacher. Is the sentence correct?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The sentence is incorrect because the word "patient" should be replaced with "patiently." "Patient" is an adjective that describes a person's ability to tolerate something, while "patiently" is an adverb that describes how someone is waiting. Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The students are waiting patiently for their teacher."

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    We __________  tired after the walk along the beach yesterday.

    • Isn't

    • Wasn't

    • Weren't

    Correct Answer
    A. Weren't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "weren't". This is because the word "we" is a plural pronoun, and when referring to multiple people, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "were". Therefore, the sentence should be "We weren't tired after the walk along the beach."

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Can your dog __________ over that chair?

    • Jump

    • Jumps

    • Jumped

    Correct Answer
    A. Jump
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the ability of the dog to perform an action. The word "can" indicates the present tense and the blank space should be filled with a verb that matches this tense. Among the options provided, "jump" is the only verb that is in the present tense. Therefore, the correct answer is "jump."

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    A ___ of cola

    • Packet

    • Can

    • Bar

    Correct Answer
    A. Can
    Explanation
    The word "can" is the most suitable option to complete the given phrase "a ___ of cola" as it is commonly used to refer to a container for beverages like cola. Additionally, "packet" and "bar" do not typically refer to containers for cola, making them less appropriate choices.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Is Rice countable or uncountable? 

    • Countable

    • Uncountable

    Correct Answer
    A. Uncountable
    Explanation
    "Rice" is generally considered an uncountable noun when referring to it in its raw or cooked form. For example, you would say "I have some rice" rather than "I have three rices." However, when referring to different types or varieties of rice, it can be treated as countable in that specific context, such as "There are many rices available at the store." But in most everyday usage, it's treated as uncountable.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    My sister and I never __________ our bikes to school.

    • Rides

    • Are riding

    • Ride

    Correct Answer
    A. Ride
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ride" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "My sister and I" is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form "ride".

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    The __________ to the pyramids took three hours.

    • Trip

    • Sightseeing 

    Correct Answer
    A. Trip
    Explanation
    The word "trip" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence. The sentence is discussing the duration of time it took to get to the pyramids, and "trip" is a noun that accurately describes a journey or excursion. The other option, "sightseeing," is a noun that refers to the activity of visiting interesting places, but it doesn't make sense in the sentence as it doesn't indicate the duration of time.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Is it Countable or Uncountable? Butter.

    • Countable

    • Uncountable

    Correct Answer
    A. Uncountable
    Explanation
    Butter is considered uncountable because it is a substance that cannot be easily separated into individual units. It is typically measured or used in a continuous mass or quantity, rather than being counted as separate items.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Which sentence correctly uses the future perfect tense?

    • She will be cooking dinner tomorrow.

    • They have been playing in the park.

    • By the time we arrive, the movie will have started.

    • He is going to the store right now.

    Correct Answer
    A. By the time we arrive, the movie will have started.
    Explanation
    Option C correctly uses the future perfect tense by indicating an action (the movie starting) that will be completed before another future action (our arrival). This tense is formed using "will have" followed by the past participle of the verb and is used to express an action that will be finished before a specified time or event in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Every time I go skating, I __________ lots of times!

    • Fell

    • Fall

    • Falls

    Correct Answer
    A. Fall
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fall" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "I" requires the verb form "fall." The verb "fell" is in the past tense, so it is not the correct answer. Similarly, "falls" is the third-person singular form of the verb, which does not agree with the subject "I." Therefore, the correct verb form is "fall."

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    I’m sorry, but you ______________ speak Spanish in class. You have to speak only English!

    • Don't have to

    • Mustn't

    Correct Answer
    A. Mustn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "mustn't" because it indicates that speaking Spanish in class is prohibited or not allowed. It implies a strong obligation or requirement to only speak English. "Don't have to" would suggest that it is optional or not necessary to speak Spanish, which is not the intended meaning in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

    • I can’t do this test easily. It’s very difficult.

    • I can’t do this test easily, it’s very difficult.

    • I can’t do this test easily; it’s very difficult.

    • I can’t do this test easily it’s very difficult.

    Correct Answer
    A. I can’t do this test easily; it’s very difficult.
    Explanation
    The correct sentence uses a semicolon to connect the two independent clauses: "I can’t do this test easily" and "It’s very difficult." A semicolon is appropriate here because the two clauses are closely related, and it helps to create a clear and concise connection between them. The semicolon indicates a stronger separation than a comma but less than a period, emphasizing the close relationship between the ideas.
