Step-by-step solution for: Grammar review interactive activity for High school
Here is the completed Grammar Review worksheet with the verbs in the correct form, along with explanations for each sentence:
---
✔ Do you live in a flat or a house?
👉 *Present simple question – "live" is an action verb; use auxiliary "do" for questions.*
---
✔ Oliver never visits his uncle and aunt.
👉 *Present simple – "never" goes before the main verb; subject is third person singular ("Oliver"), so "visits".*
---
✔ I will buy a laptop when I have enough money.
👉 *Future time clause: "when I have" uses present simple to express future condition; main clause uses "will buy" for future action.*
---
✔ I have been fond of running since I was fifteen years old.
👉 *Present perfect continuous/continuous state: "have been fond of" (present perfect); "running" is gerund after "of"; "was" because it refers to past age.*
---
✔ I wish the weather were warmer.
👉 *Second conditional/wish about present: Use "were" (subjunctive mood) even though "was" is common in informal English. "Were" is grammatically correct here.*
---
✔ Did Jim send you a postcard when he was in New York?
👉 *Past simple question – "send" is past tense; use auxiliary "did" for questions.*
---
✔ My friend is thinking about moving to Rennes.
👉 *Present continuous – indicates current thought or decision in progress.*
---
✔ This is the most stupid joke I have ever heard.
👉 *Present perfect tense: "have ever heard" emphasizes experience up to now.*
---
✔ Alan was fixing the toaster when you phoned.
👉 *Past continuous: "was fixing" describes an ongoing action interrupted by another past event ("you phoned").*
---
✔ I'm sorry I could not attend the English lesson last Monday.
👉 *Past ability: "could not" = "was not able to" in the past.*
---
✔ What would you say if you met a famous person in the street?
👉 *Second conditional: "would you say" + "met" (past simple) for hypothetical situation.*
---
✔ Stop making so much noise!
👉 *Imperative with gerund: "stop doing something" means cease an ongoing action.*
---
✔ I have never watched any Star Wars movie.
👉 *Present perfect: "have never watched" expresses life experience up to now.*
---
✔ This house was built by my brother 2 years ago.
👉 *Passive voice: Past simple passive – "was built" because the house is the receiver of the action.*
---
✔ I don't want you to speak during the test.
👉 *Modal structure: "want someone to do something" → "don't want you to speak"*
---
✔ The sport teacher will make us run for 1 hour next week.
👉 *Future tense: "will make" + object + bare infinitive ("run") – "make" requires base form of verb.*
---
✔ I have never visited the Eiffel Tower since I moved to Paris.
👉 *Present perfect: "have never visited" shows incomplete action from past to present; also corrected "in" → "to" (move to a place).*
---
✔ Peter is working currently in London.
👉 *Present continuous: "is working" indicates current activity; "currently" supports this tense.*
---
✔ I have known my best friend for 20 years.
👉 *Present perfect: "have known" with duration ("for 20 years") – action started in past and continues.*
---
