B1 English B1 Grammar & Sentence Structure

Question 1

Choose the correct sentence.

Accepted Answer

She has lived in London for five years.

Answer

'Has lived' with 'for' is correct. 'For' is used with a period of time (five years). 'Since' is used with a point in time (e.g. 2019).

Question 2

Which sentence uses the past simple correctly?

Accepted Answer

I went to the supermarket yesterday.

Answer

'Yesterday' signals a completed past action, so the past simple 'went' is correct. 'Have gone' (present perfect) cannot be used with 'yesterday'.

Question 3

Choose the correct option: 'She asked me ___ I was feeling better.'

Accepted Answer

if

Answer

In reported speech, yes/no questions are introduced with 'if' or 'whether'. Both are correct but 'if' is the most natural here.

Question 4

Which sentence is correct?

Accepted Answer

He doesn't know where the keys are.

Answer

In embedded questions (questions within sentences), we use the normal word order: subject + verb. 'Where the keys are' is correct, not 'where are the keys'.

Question 5

Choose the correct sentence.

Accepted Answer

If it rains tomorrow, we will cancel the picnic.

Answer

For real future conditions, use 'if + present simple, will + verb'. This is the first conditional structure.
