Fill in the blanks.
1She is both beautiful ............... intelligent.
Wrong!
After "both", use "and" to connect two equal adjectives.
2She was not allowed ............... to strangers.
Wrong!
After the passive form "was allowed", use the infinitive "to talk".
3If you want to get a cheap flight, you ............... early.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
"Should book" gives advice, and "have to book" shows necessity; both fit this sentence.
4If you enter a country on a tourist visa, you are not usually ............... to work there.
Wrong!
The passive structure is "are not usually allowed" before an infinitive.
5Don't believe all that you ...............
Wrong!
Use the present simple "hear" for a general statement.
6Do you want to go alone, or do you want ............... with you?
Wrong!
After "want", use object + infinitive, so "me to come" is correct.
7Have you got enough money, or ............... you want me to lend you some?
Wrong!
Use the auxiliary "do" to form the question "do you want".
8............... I leave the window open, or do you want me to close it?
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
"Shall" and "Should" can both introduce a question asking for someone’s preference or advice.
9Do you ............... to use this machine, or do you want me to show you?
Wrong!
Use "know how" before an infinitive to talk about having the ability to do something.
10Did you hear ............... I said, or do you want me to repeat it?
Wrong!
Use "what" to mean the thing that someone said.
11I don't remember ............... any money from you.
Wrong!
After "remember" for a past action, use the gerund "borrowing".
12Don't forget ............... the door when you go out.
Wrong!
Use "forget to lock" when talking about something you need to do.
Done.
