TASK 1
Look at the 10 multiple choice questions on the assessment sheet overleaf. This is part 1 of a level assessment which is sent out to our overseas students. You will obviously have no problem in finding the correct answer, but explaining your choice can be more problematic.
What do you think is being tested in each question? Explain in your own words or use grammatical terms if you know them.
1..The knowledge of tenses is being tested here. And to be precise, present simple and continuous tenses.The clue to choose among these two is the adverb OFTEN, which makes us consider the present simple tense. Also the rule for the 3rd person singular(s) is expected to use.And finally, in phrases have breakfast, have dinner ,have lunch HAVE is used NOT HAVE GOT.
