Practice questions
Q1Choose the option that correctly completes the sentence: If the invigilator ______ the bell, the candidates will stop writing.
The sentence refers to a real possibility in the future. Standard first conditional form is if plus present simple in the conditional clause and will plus base verb in the main clause. Therefore, 'If the invigilator rings the bell, the candidates will stop writing' is the grammatically appropriate choice.
Q2Which option best transforms "The invigilator warned the candidates; they stopped talking" into a complex sentence showing cause?
The target is a complex sentence, so one clause must be dependent on the other. In option A, "When the invigilator warned the candidates" is a subordinate adverbial clause attached to the main clause "they stopped talking". The other choices keep both clauses independent.
Q3Identify the noun used attributively in the phrase 'college library rules'.
'College' is a noun functioning attributively because it stands before 'library' to classify the kind of library. English often uses nouns in modifier position, but the word remains noun-like in form rather than becoming a typical adjective.
Q4Fill in the blank: I need ___ information about the new timetable.
'Information' is normally treated as an uncountable noun in English. A determiner such as 'some' can indicate an indefinite amount, while plural-count forms like 'a few' are unsuitable.
Q5Choose the sentence that correctly uses tense in reported speech when the reporting verb is in the past.
With a past reporting verb such as 'said', an original present continuous statement is normally backshifted to past continuous in reported speech. Thus 'are revising' becomes 'were revising' unless the speaker deliberately stresses current truth.
