Answers to Level Two

To go on to Level Two you have to score 7 out of 10...

1. Answer is (b) haven't seen.
We use this tense with the expression for ages. In this context you cannot use the progressive form of the verb to see.

2. Answer (c) 've been.
We use the present perfect tense as there is no time mentioned in the sentence. We cannot use 've gone because Gina has returned - she is not still in Liverpool.

3. Answer (d) on.
We always go on a course, we cannot make a course. We can study a subject - like English or Photography, for example - on a course, but we cannot say study a course.

4. Answer is (c) apply.
The other choices are incorrect as we do not say enquire + for, or request + for, or sign + for in this context.

5. Answer is (c) job.
It is the only countable noun in the choices given

6. Answer is (d) had.
We cannot make or take an interview. The interviewer gives an interview not the interviewee

7. Answer is (c) haven't heard.
We use the present perfect tense in British English with yet.

8. Answer is (d) could.
could suggests the possibility that this situation could happen - but she is not sure.

9. Answer is (a) I hope so.
I hope it and I think it are not English expressions and I believe so does not fit in this context.

10. Answer is (c) don't we.
The verb we work is in the present simple tense so we make the question tag with the negative form of the question word do, which is don't.
