Versant English Test — All Questions

Choose the correct verb form: 'By the time we arrived, the meeting ___ already started.'

• a.has
• b.had✓
• c.was
• d.have

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.left
• c.had left✓
• d.leaves

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 have a locker.
• b.Each of the students are having a locker.
• c.Each of the students were having a locker.
• d.Each of the students has 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.hearing✓
• b.hear
• c.heard
• 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.Has
• b.Have✓
• c.Did
• d.Are

'Yet' signals the present perfect. With the subject 'you', the auxiliary is 'Have', giving 'Have you finished'.
