3.
Three sentences are incorrect and one is correct. Choose the correct sentence
Correct Answer
D. I work on Mondays.
Explanation
The correct sentence is "I work on Mondays." This sentence is correct because it uses the preposition "on" to indicate the specific day of the week when the speaker works. The other sentences are incorrect because they use different prepositions ("the," "in," and "at") that are not commonly used to talk about days of the week.
4.
For parts of the day, we use In: In the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. Except Night. We say AT night.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true because when referring to different parts of the day, we use "in" for the morning, afternoon, and evening. However, when referring to the night, we use "at" instead of "in." This is a common grammatical rule in English.
5.
When speaking about an action that is repeated EVERY Saturday, Monday, etc., we use the day of the week + "s" (Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.)
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
When we talk about an action that happens regularly on specific days of the week like Saturdays, Mondays, etc., we use the plural form of the day of the week, followed by an "s" (e.g., Mondays, Tuesdays). This is because we are referring to multiple instances of the action happening on those specific days. Therefore, the correct answer is true.
6.
Three sentences are incorrect and one is correct. Choose the correct sentence:
Correct Answer
B. I study in the mornings
Explanation
The correct sentence is "I study in the mornings" because it correctly uses the preposition "in" to indicate the time period during which the studying takes place. The other sentences either use the incorrect preposition or omit it altogether.
7.

The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking, temporary situations, changing or developing situations, and fixed arrangements in the near future. This tense is used to talk about actions that are currently taking place or ongoing, such as "I am eating dinner right now." It is also used to describe temporary situations, such as "She is staying with us for the weekend." Additionally, the present continuous tense is used to discuss changing or developing situations, such as "The weather is getting colder." Lastly, it is used to talk about fixed arrangements in the near future, such as "We are meeting for lunch tomorrow."

Choose TRUE if the sentence is CORRECT and FALSE if the sentence is INCORRECT:Now, I am cook some fish
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The given sentence "Now, I am cook some fish" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would be "Now, I am cooking some fish." The verb "cook" should be in the present continuous tense, which is "cooking" in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Choose TRUE if the sentence is CORRECT and FALSE if the sentence is INCORRECT:
Every Tuesday I am swimming at the pool
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The sentence "Every Tuesday I am swimming at the pool" is incorrect. The correct form should be "Every Tuesday I swim at the pool." The use of "am swimming" implies an ongoing action in the present, but the sentence is referring to a habitual action that occurs every Tuesday.
11.
Choose the NEGATIVE form of the sentence:
I am writing a card for a friend.
Correct Answer
A. I'm not writing a card for a friend.
Explanation
The correct answer is "I'm not writing a card for a friend." This is the negative form of the sentence "I am writing a card for a friend." It uses the contraction "I'm" for "I am" and adds the word "not" to create the negative meaning.
