Progress 0 of 12 answered
1Few of people can say that they always tell the truth.

We use few without of before a noun without a determiner.

In case is similar to if but they are not interchangeable.
3The first time I have met him was last year.
Wrong!
We cannot use the present perfect with past time expressions.
4As you know that next Friday's meeting has been called.
Wrong!
We use as or that. We cannot use them both.
5We went out despite of the rain.
Wrong!
Despite is used without of.
6There is a garage opposite of my house.
Wrong!
Opposite is used without of.
7Although she had prepared well for the test, but she could not pass.
Wrong!
Although and but are both used to connect contrasting ideas. Use only one of them in a sentence.
8As he was not there so I left a message with his mother.
Wrong!
As indicates the reason and so indicates the result. Use only one of them in a sentence.

We cannot use the present perfect tense with past time expressions.
11This is the guy whom we have met yesterday.
Select 2 answers.
