Detailed Explanations
By the time we get to the station, the train will have left.
Correct answer: will have left
Future perfect tense ("will have + past participle") is used for actions that will be completed before another future action. "Have left," "left," and "was left" are incorrect verb forms for this future time reference.
Neither of the candidates is suitable for the role.
Correct answer: is
"Neither" is singular and takes a singular verb. "Are," "were," and "has" are plural or incorrect verb forms that don't agree with the singular subject "neither."
If you studied harder, you would get better grades.
Correct answer: would get
Second conditional uses past simple in the if-clause and "would + base verb" in the main clause for hypothetical situations. "Would gotten," "will get," and "got" are incorrect verb forms.
The meeting was postponed due to the severe weather.
Correct answer: due to
"Due to" means because of and is followed by a noun phrase. "Due" alone is incomplete, "because" needs a clause, and "for" is not used in this context.
I wish I had more time to finish this project.
Correct answer: had
After "wish" for present unreal situations, we use past simple tense. "Have," "will have," and "has" are incorrect verb forms for expressing wishes about the present.
The book, together with the notes, is on the desk.
Correct answer: is
When using "together with," the verb agrees with the main subject "the book," which is singular. "Are" and "were" are plural forms that don't agree with the singular subject.
You must finish your homework before the teacher arrives.
Correct answer: finish
After modal verbs like "must," we use the base form of the verb. "Finished," "finishes," and "have finish" are incorrect verb forms.
This time next year, they will be living in their new house.
Correct answer: will be living
Future continuous tense describes actions that will be in progress at a specific future time. "Are living," "lived," and "were living" are incorrect for future reference.
Hardly had the show begun when it started raining.
Correct answer: when
The correct correlative conjunction is "hardly...when" to show that one event happened immediately after another. "Then," "so," and "as" are not used with "hardly" in this construction.
She talks as if she knew everything about the topic.
Correct answer: knew
After "as if" for unreal situations, we use past simple tense. "Knews," "known," and "know" are incorrect verb forms.
There isn't much sugar left in the jar.
Correct answer: much
"Much" is used with uncountable nouns like "sugar." "Plentier" is not a word, "many" is for countable nouns, and "plenty" needs "of" ("plenty of").
We still have a few seats available for the event.
Correct answer: a few
"A few" is used with countable nouns like "seats" to mean a small number. "Fewer" is comparative, "less" is for uncountable nouns, and "little" is for uncountable nouns.
He agreed to join the team after the meeting.
Correct answer: to join
The verb "agree" is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Joined," "joining," and "join" without "to" are incorrect forms after "agreed."
She bought a beautiful old wooden chair at the market.
Correct answer: beautiful old wooden
Adjectives follow a specific order: opinion (beautiful) → age (old) → material (wooden). Other orders break the standard adjective sequence.
The news is being broadcast live right now.
Correct answer: is
"News" is uncountable and takes a singular verb. "Has being," "are," and "were" are incorrect verb forms that don't agree with the singular subject.
