Pearson PTE General — All Questions

Which sentence is correct?

• a.I'm looking forward to see you next week.
• b.I'm looking forward see you next week.
• c.I'm looking forward for seeing you next week.
• d.I'm looking forward to seeing you next week.✓

'Look forward to' takes a gerund because 'to' here is a preposition, giving 'looking forward to seeing'.

Identify the error-free sentence.

• a.She's lived here since she was born.✓
• b.She's living here since she was born.
• c.She lives here since she was born.
• d.She's lived here for she was born.

A state continuing from the past to now uses the present perfect with 'since' + a starting point: 'has lived here since she was born'.

Choose the correct sentence.

• a.Neither of the answers are correct.
• b.Neither of the answers is correct.✓
• c.Neither of the answer is correct.
• d.Neither of the answers were correct.

'Neither' is treated as singular in standard usage, so it takes the singular verb 'is': 'Neither of the answers is correct'.

Which sentence has no error?

• a.He's taller then his brother.
• b.He's more tall than his brother.
• c.He's taller than his brother.✓
• d.He's taller as his brother.

'Than' (not 'then') is used in comparisons, and short adjectives form the comparative with '-er', giving 'taller than'.
