Eu estou atrasado?
Correct Answer
B. Am I late?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Am I late?" because the question is asking about the speaker's own lateness, and in English, we use the auxiliary verb "am" with the pronoun "I" to form questions in the present tense.
2.

Correct Answer
A. You're not my friend

3.
Ela está ocupada hoje
Correct Answer
C. She is busy today
Explanation
The correct answer is "She is busy today." This is the correct answer because it uses the correct subject-verb agreement ("She is" instead of "She are" or "She're") and it accurately describes the situation of the person being busy today.
4.
Ele não está com fome
Correct Answer
D. He's not hungry
Explanation
The correct answer is "He's not hungry" because it is the grammatically correct and complete sentence. The contraction "He's" is short for "He is" and indicates the present tense. "Not" is used to negate the adjective "hungry."
5.
Esta é minha caneta?
Correct Answer
D. Is it my pen?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Is it my pen?" because the question is asking if the object in question (the pen) belongs to the speaker. The word "it" refers to the pen, and the word "is" is used to form a yes/no question.
6.
Nós não estamos atrasados
Correct Answer
B. We're not late
Explanation
The correct answer is "We're not late." This sentence correctly translates the given phrase "Nós não estamos atrasados" into English. It conveys the meaning that the speaker and others are not late for something.
7.
Eles estão lá hoje?
Correct Answer
C. Are they there today?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Are they there today?" because the question is asking about the presence of a group of people. "Eles" is the Portuguese word for "they" and "estão" is the verb form used to ask about the location or presence of a group. "Hoje" means "today." Therefore, the correct question is asking if a group of people is present on the specific day mentioned.
8.
Elas estão cansadas?
Correct Answer
D. Are they tired?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Are they tired?" because the question is asking about a group of people, which is referred to by the pronoun "they". The verb "are" is used to agree with the plural subject "they". "Is she tired?" and "Are she tired?" are incorrect because they use the singular form of the verb "is" with a plural subject. "They are tired?" is a statement, not a question.
9.
Você não é brasileiro?
Correct Answer
B. Aren't you Brazilian?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Aren't you Brazilian?" because it is a grammatically correct question in English that uses the negative form of the verb "to be" (aren't) to ask about someone's nationality (Brazilian). The other options either use incorrect word order or double negatives, which are not grammatically correct in English.
10.
Eu não estou atrasado?
Correct Answer
A. Aren't I late?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Aren't I late?" This is because the question is in the negative form, and the correct negative contraction for "I am" is "I'm not" or "I am not." Therefore, the correct question form would be "Aren't I late?"
