Detailed Explanations
If only they were more professional!
Correct answer: were
After "if only" expressing wishes about the present, we use past simple tense. "Are" and "was" are incorrect verb forms for this conditional structure.
His sister was going to work from home.
Correct answer: was going
Past continuous tense ("was/were + going") is used for planned future actions in the past. "Were" doesn't agree with singular "sister," and "will going" is grammatically incorrect.
I'm interested in a foreign language course.
Correct answer: in
The adjective "interested" is followed by the preposition "in." "Of" and "on" are not used with "interested" in this context.
He did everything correctly.
Correct answer: did
Past simple tense "did" is the correct form for completed actions in the past. "Do" is present tense, and "done" needs an auxiliary verb.
You can find the key details at the end of the document.
Correct answer: at
We use "at" for specific points or locations. "For" indicates purpose, "in" suggests being inside, and "none" is not a preposition.
I would prefer to mention it later.
Correct answer: would prefer
"Would prefer" expresses a polite preference. "Have prefer" and "had prefer" are grammatically incorrect constructions.
She hopes to win.
Correct answer: to win
The verb "hope" is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Win" without "to" and "wins" are incorrect forms after "hopes."
My mother likes wearing fashionable clothes.
Correct answer: wearing
After "likes," we can use either a gerund (wearing) or infinitive with "to," but the gerund is more common for general preferences. "Wear" and "wears" are incorrect forms.
She picked up a coin.
Correct answer: up
The phrasal verb "pick up" means to lift or collect. "Of," "off," and "on" don't create the correct phrasal verb for this context.
They have such a brilliant idea.
Correct answer: such
"Such" is used before adjective + noun combinations. "So" is used before adjectives alone, and "as" is used for comparisons.
She couldn't help laughing when she heard the joke.
Correct answer: laughing
After "couldn't help," we use a gerund (verb + -ing). "Laugh" and "to laugh" are incorrect forms in this expression.
We must focus on improving our communication.
Correct answer: on
The verb "focus" is followed by the preposition "on." "In" and "at" are not used with "focus" in this context.
He managed to complete the task on time.
Correct answer: to complete
The verb "manage" is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Complete" and "completing" are incorrect forms after "managed."
This book belongs to Liam.
Correct answer: to
The verb "belong" is followed by the preposition "to" when indicating ownership. "Of" and "for" are not used with "belongs" in this context.
We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Correct answer: to seeing
After "look forward to," we use a gerund (verb + -ing). "See" and "to see" are incorrect forms in this expression.
