Step by Step Written Solution
In this lesson, we will solve a series of grammar and vocabulary multiple-choice questions. Let's look at each one carefully to choose the correct answer based on context and tense.
Grammar and Vocabulary Quiz
Question one asks about a universal truth: The sun blank in the morning.
i. The sun _______ in the morning.
For facts and general truths, we use the simple present tense. Since the sun is a singular subject, we add an s to the verb. So, the sun rises.
Moving to question two: They blank waiting for me when it started to rain.
ii. They _______ waiting for me when it started to rain.
The phrase 'when it started' is in the past tense. Since the sentence describes an ongoing action interrupted by another, we use the past continuous. They is plural, so we use were.
Question three is an invitation: Rose is having a graduation ceremony this weekend. Are you blank?
iii. Rose is having a graduation ceremony this weekend. Are you _______?
The sentence asks if you have received an invitation. The correct grammatical form in this passive context is the past participle used as an adjective or passive verb: invited.
