Quiz #4

Instructions: Circle the time expression that best completes each sentence.

... my alarm goes off, I get in the shower.

• • a) As soon as

• b) Since

• • c) While

• d) But

Answer explanation

Explanation: "As soon as" is correct because it shows an immediate sequence - the shower happens immediately after the alarm. "Since" would indicate a starting point of a continuing action, and "While" would suggest two simultaneous actions.

Instructions: Circle the time expression that best completes each sentence.

... taking a shower, I make coffee.

• • a) After

• b) Since

• • c) While

• d) Because

Answer explanation

Explanation: "After" is correct because it shows a clear sequence of completed actions - first shower, then coffee. "Since" would suggest the coffee-making is ongoing from that point, and "While" would mean doing both activities at the same time (which isn't practical).

Instructions: Circle the time expression that best completes each sentence.

... eating breakfast, I watch the news on TV.

• • a) Until

• b) Since

• • c) While

• • d) From

Answer explanation

Explanation: "While" is correct because it shows two actions happening simultaneously - eating breakfast and watching news. "Until" would suggest the news watching stops when breakfast begins, and "From" would indicate a starting point only.

Instructions: Circle the time expression that best completes each sentence.

... leaving for work, I take the dog for a walk.

• • a) Right before

• b) Since

• • c) Until

• • d) Ever since

Answer explanation

Explanation: "Right before" is correct because it indicates the walk happens just before departure. "Ever since" would suggest continuous walking since a past point, and "Until" would mean walking stops when leaving for work.

Instructions: Circle the time expression that best completes each sentence.

... I'm late, I take a taxi instead of the train to work.

• • a) Whenever

• b) Since

• • c) Until

• • d) Ever since

Answer explanation

Explanation: "Whenever" is correct because it shows a conditional repeated action - each time the condition (being late) occurs, the result (taking a taxi) follows. "After" would suggest being late comes first, and "While" would mean during the lateness.
