      Didn't he

    Correct Answer
    C. Doesn't he
    Explanation
    The given question is an incomplete sentence that suggests a statement about someone's preference for burgers. The correct answer "doesn't he" is used to form a tag question, which is a statement followed by a short question that seeks confirmation or agreement. In this case, the tag question is formed by using the auxiliary verb "does" in the negative form ("doesn't") and inverting the subject and verb ("he" and "like"). Therefore, the correct answer implies that the person being referred to likes burgers, and the tag question seeks confirmation from the listener.

    • D.

      A train arrive

    Correct Answer
    C. The train arrives
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the train arrives." This is because the question is asking for the correct structure of a question using the present simple tense. In this case, we need to use the subject "the train" followed by the verb "arrives" to form a grammatically correct question.

    • D.

      Don't help me

    Correct Answer
    D. Don't help me
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't help me." This is because the sentence is in the present tense and requires the negative form of the verb "help." The verb "don't" is the correct negative form of "do" in the present tense, followed by the base form of the verb "help."

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    D. Mustn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "mustn't". In the given sentence, the speaker is stating that the garage belongs to George, not to them. Therefore, they are not allowed or should not park their car in that garage. "Mustn't" is used to express prohibition or the idea that something is not allowed.

      Knew

    • D.

      Can

    Correct Answer
    C. Knew
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "knew". This is because the sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation. The verb "knew" is the past tense of "know" and is used to indicate a possibility or action that could have happened in the past. In this case, it suggests that if the person had known Spanish in the past, they would have been able to help with the homework.

      I saw you at the bus stop

    Correct Answer
    D. I saw you at the bus stop
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I saw you at the bus stop."

The other options ("looked," "was seeing," and "seen") are not grammatically correct or do not convey the same meaning.

    Explanation

    • A.

      Listen

    • B.

      Listen to

    • C.

      Heard

    • D.

      Hear

    Correct Answer
    D. Hear
    Explanation
    This question is asking for a verb that means to perceive or be aware of a noise. The word "hear" is the correct answer because it directly matches this definition. "Listen" and "listen to" are also related to perceiving sound, but they imply a more intentional or focused act of paying attention to the noise. "Heard" is the past tense of "hear" and does not fit the grammatical structure of the question. Therefore, "hear" is the most appropriate answer.

    Rate this question:

The present perfect continuous tense "has been using" is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing or has just recently stopped. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice to convey the idea that someone has been using the towel and it is now wet.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "didn't tell me". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the phrase "I'd rather you" is followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct form is "didn't tell me", which is the past tense of "do not tell me".

    Correct Answer
    B. Not have bought
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "not have bought." This is because the sentence is in the past tense, and the speaker is expressing regret for not buying something in the past. The phrase "now I don't have any money left" indicates that the speaker did not buy something in the past, which is why "not have bought" is the appropriate choice.

    Correct Answer
    D. Hadn't called
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "hadn't called." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and uses the conditional form "rather you." The verb "call" needs to be in the past perfect tense to show that the action of not calling happened before the past moment being referred to.

      Had informed

    • D.

      Inform

    Correct Answer
    C. Had informed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had informed." This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The phrase "If you had informed me about it earlier" suggests that the person did not inform the speaker in the past, resulting in the speaker not being able to do it. Therefore, the correct verb form to use in this context is "had informed," which is the past perfect tense.
