ENGLISH GRAMMAR TEST #2 (APRIL)

_____ you like this DVD?

• Are

• Have

• Do

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Do' because it is used to form questions in the present simple tense. 'Are' is incorrect as it refers to a state of being, and 'Have' implies possession, which doesn't fit the context.

It is a busy, _____ city.

• traffic

• quite

• noisy

Answer explanation

The word 'noisy' fits best in the sentence as it describes a busy city characterized by sounds and commotion. 'Traffic' and 'quite' do not appropriately convey the bustling nature of a city.

I _____ in an armchair at the moment.

• sitting

• ‘m sitting

• sit

Answer explanation

The correct choice is '‘m sitting' because it uses the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening right now. 'Sitting' alone is not a complete sentence, and 'sit' is the simple present tense, which does not fit the context.

Their car is _____ biggest on the road.

• than

• this

• the

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'the' because it is used to specify a particular noun. In this case, 'the biggest' indicates a specific car that is the largest on the road, making it the appropriate word to complete the sentence.

It’s the _____ interesting of his films.

• more

• much

• most

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'most' because it indicates the highest degree of interest among his films. 'More' and 'much' do not fit grammatically in this superlative context.

The phone’s ringing: _____ answer it.

• I’ll

• I

• will

Answer explanation

The correct choice is "I’ll" because it is a contraction of "I will," which is appropriate for making a promise or decision in the moment. The other options do not convey the same immediacy or intent.

Have you _____ been on a winter sports holiday?

• always

• ever

• soon

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'ever' because it is used in questions to inquire about experiences at any time up to now. 'Always' implies a continuous action, and 'soon' refers to a future time, making them unsuitable here.

They _____ pay for the tickets.

• haven’t to

• don’t have

• don’t have to

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'don’t have to' because it indicates that there is no obligation to pay for the tickets. 'Haven’t to' is incorrect, and 'don’t have' does not convey the same meaning of lack of obligation.

They _____ ever check their emails.

• hard

• harder

• hardly

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'hardly' because it means 'barely' or 'not often.' The sentence implies that they do not check their emails frequently, making 'hardly' the appropriate word to convey this meaning.

They won’t come, _____ they?

• won’t

• come

• will

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'will' because the question is a tag question. The main clause is negative ('They won’t come'), so the tag must be positive, using 'will' to confirm the expectation.
