Choose the correct verb form: 'By the time we arrived, the meeting ___ already started.'
- a.has
- b.was
- c.have
- d.had✓
The past perfect 'had started' describes an action completed before another past action ('arrived'). 'Had' is the correct auxiliary here.
Select the correct option: 'If she ___ earlier, she would have caught the train.'
- a.would leave
- b.leaves
- c.had left✓
- d.left
This is a third conditional (past unreal). The 'if' clause takes the past perfect 'had left' to match 'would have caught'.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
- a.Each of the students has a locker.✓
- b.Each of the students have a locker.
- c.Each of the students are having a locker.
- d.Each of the students were having a locker.
'Each' is singular and takes a singular verb, so 'has' is correct regardless of the plural noun 'students' in the prepositional phrase.
Complete the sentence: 'I look forward to ___ from you soon.'
- a.heard
- b.hearing✓
- c.hear
- d.have heard
The phrase 'look forward to' is followed by a gerund (verb + -ing), so 'hearing' is correct. Here 'to' is a preposition, not an infinitive marker.
Choose the correct question form: '___ you finished the report yet?'
- a.Have✓
- b.Did
- c.Has
- d.Are
'Yet' signals the present perfect. With the subject 'you', the auxiliary is 'Have', giving 'Have you finished'.
