Fill in the blanks
Progress 0 of 12 answered
1I ............... he is not at home.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both "suppose" and "suppose that" are correct because "that" is optional after "suppose" here.
2We hoped ...............
Wrong!
The correct answer is "that you would succeed" because "hope" is followed by a that-clause in this sentence.
3He ............... that he has met your dad.
Wrong!
The correct answer is "says" because there is no personal object after the reporting verb.
4The teacher ............... he was very busy.
Wrong!
The correct answer is "said" because there is no personal object after the reporting verb.
5She suggested ............... to the park.
Wrong!
The correct answer is "that we should go" because "suggest" is followed by a that-clause here.
6He ............... me that he was coming on Sunday.
Wrong!
The correct answer is "told" because "tell" is used before the personal object "me".
7I advised him ............... careful when crossing the road.
Wrong!
The correct answer is "to be" because "advise" can be followed by object plus a to-infinitive.

Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both "to be" and "that he would be" are correct after "promised us" in this sentence.
9Nobody knows when ............... arrive.

Wrong!
The correct answer is "he should" because an indirect question uses subject before auxiliary verb.
11He asked me ...............
Wrong!
The correct answer is "to go" because "ask" can be followed by object plus a to-infinitive.
