Grammar

My sister ___ to music every evening after dinner.

  • a.is listen
  • b.listens✓
  • c.listen
  • d.listening

The subject 'My sister' is third person singular, so the present simple verb needs -s: 'listens'. This sentence describes a regular habit ('every evening').

Grammar

Look! It ___ outside, so take your umbrella.

  • a.rain
  • b.rains
  • c.rained
  • d.is raining✓

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.

Grammar

We ___ a great film at the cinema last night.

  • a.seeing
  • b.saw✓
  • c.see
  • d.seen

'Last night' shows finished past time, so we use the past simple. 'See' is irregular: its past simple form is 'saw'.

Grammar

___ you like a cup of tea?

  • a.Do
  • b.Have
  • c.Are
  • 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'.

Grammar

There aren't ___ eggs in the fridge, so I can't make a cake.

  • a.any✓
  • b.much
  • c.a
  • d.some

In negative sentences with plural countable nouns we use 'any'. 'Some' is normally used in positive sentences, and 'much' is for uncountable nouns.
