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').
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.
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'.
___ 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'.
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.
