    We____going to the park.

    • Were

    • Was

    Correct Answer
    A. Were
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Were." This is because the word "we" is a plural pronoun, and in the past tense, the verb "to be" is conjugated as "were" for plural subjects. Therefore, "were" is the correct form to use in this sentence to indicate that multiple people were going to the park.

    • Sarah arrives late never.

    • Sarah never arrives late.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sarah never arrives late.
    Explanation

    I haven’t seen my friend ______ last Year.

    • For

    • Since

    Correct Answer
    A. Since
    Explanation
    The word "since" is the correct answer because it indicates a specific point in time when the action of not seeing the friend started. It implies that the speaker has not seen their friend at any time during the previous year. "For" would not be appropriate in this context as it suggests a duration of time rather than a specific starting point.

    • Fed

    Correct Answer

    A. Taste
    Explanation
    The word "taste" is the correct answer because it is the correct verb form to complete the question "How did it ____?". The word "tasted" is the past tense form of the verb "taste", which would not fit grammatically in this question. Therefore, "taste" is the correct choice to maintain proper verb tense agreement.

    The word "decided" is the correct answer because it is the past tense form of the verb "decide". The sentence is expressing a past action or decision, so the past tense is appropriate. The word "deciding" is the present participle form of the verb and does not fit grammatically in the sentence.

    • Can’t

    • Mustn’t

    Correct Answer
    A. Can’t
