My sister ___ to music every evening after dinner.
- a.listen
- b.listens✓
- c.listening
- d.is listen
The subject 'My sister' is third person singular, so the present simple verb needs -s: 'listens'. This sentence describes a regular habit ('every evening').
Look! It ___ outside, so take your umbrella.
- a.rain
- b.rains
- c.is raining✓
- d.rained
The word 'Look!' and the idea of something happening right now need the present continuous: 'is raining'. The present simple 'rains' would describe a habit, not this moment.
We ___ a great film at the cinema last night.
- a.saw✓
- b.see
- c.seen
- d.seeing
'Last night' shows finished past time, so we use the past simple. 'See' is irregular: its past simple form is 'saw'.
___ you like a cup of tea?
- a.Are
- b.Do
- c.Have
- d.Would✓
'Would you like...?' is the fixed polite way to offer something. 'Do you like tea?' asks about a general preference, but the offer here needs 'Would'.
There aren't ___ eggs in the fridge, so I can't make a cake.
- a.some
- b.any✓
- c.much
- d.a
In negative sentences with plural countable nouns we use 'any'. 'Some' is normally used in positive sentences, and 'much' is for uncountable nouns.
