Fill in the blanks.
1Who ............... you to drive?
Wrong!
The correct past simple form is "taught".
2I don't want ............... anything about them.
Wrong!
After "want", use the to-infinitive "to know".
3I don't want ............... about my problems.
Wrong!
After "want", use object + to-infinitive, so the correct phrase is "them to know".
4Do you want me ............... with you?
Wrong!
After "want me", use the to-infinitive "to come".
5Don't forget ............... the bill.
Wrong!
For a future responsibility, "forget" is followed by the to-infinitive "to pay".
6You should ............... me to pay the bill.
Wrong!
Use "remind" when someone helps another person remember to do something.
7Hot weather ............... me tired.
Wrong!
The singular subject "Hot weather" needs the present simple verb "makes".
8My parents don't allow me ............... out alone.
Wrong!
After "allow me", use the to-infinitive "to go".
9We had ............... for two hours.
Wrong!
The structure "had to" is followed by the base verb, giving "to wait" in this sentence.
10I ............... to wait for two hours.
Wrong!
In the passive, "make" is used with a to-infinitive, so the correct phrase is "was made".
11He doesn't seem ............... his new job.
Wrong!
After "seem", use the to-infinitive "to enjoy".
12She seems ............... weight.
Wrong!
Use the perfect infinitive "to have gained" for a change that appears to have happened before now.
Done.
