Answer 2

The words you fill in must be not only grammatically correct in completing the sentence but also must make sense when read out loud.

1. They have never flown in a helicopter.

This sentence must completed with a negative term, because the opposite that you can use always, is not a word choice.

2. Have you met a famous film star?

I believe that you forgot to add words (unless there are only 5 choices), but none of the words make sense within this particular sentence.

3. The train has already arrived at the railway station.

Has is used as a past-tense, and the word "arrived" is the past-tense version of the word arrive (which is present tense. The word already is used to describe something that has occurred in the past, or already happened, and so you use this word.

4. My husband hasn't come back yet.

Yet signifies that your husband is away, and "back yet" signifies that your husband is still away, and hasn't returned.

5. Have you typed the report yet?

The question is asking about the past, and whether the task given in the past is completed. Therefore, you use yet, as you are asking if it has already been finished within the past.

6. My sister has already been to London. She stayed for two weeks.

The word already is used, because your sister in the past has been to London, and has returned home. This question is generally asked when someone asks about whether your sister has gone to London before or not (whether she is returning home from first trip recently, or is going again).

7. Cecilia hasn't cleared her desk yet. It is very untidy.

Again, it signifies that the tasks (this time Cecilia cleaning her desk), is not completed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Alan did not write the letter yet.

This is the present form, as the question-eer is asking directly whether a task was accomplished in that immediate time. If not, you must use the negative adverb and add yet (as it is not finished) at the end.

2. We already shopped for new clothes for 2 hours! When will we go home?

You will use "already shopped" (both past tense), for it has already given a numerical variable, 2 hours. Because there is already a given value, you can assume that it has happened in the past, unless other information is given that suggests it will occur in the future. For is used, as it indicates the amount of time (numerical variable) the person has spent in doing this certain task.

3. She has not returned from England yet.

You will use a present-tense word, as the question is directed at you in the present, before she has arrived home. The suggestion given is (not returned), which means that she is still in England.

4. You been to a concert?

There is not enough information to correctly give a 100% accurate answer, however, the "..." suggests that the previous would be "Have", which meant that it is in the past tense (as all other tenses does not work in the sentence fragment given to us.

5. I drank my coffee.

Again, there is not enough information, but if we assume that there is no other words (then there will be no need of dots), then it would have already been in the past, which you will use the past tense of drink, or drank.

6. A criminal hacked into the bank's computer. The police have been searching for him since Monday.

"Have been" implies that it's in the past, so you will use past-tense for both words.

7. Alex... read.. my story a minute ago.

Again, there is not enough information, but the word should be the same. However, note that you have to read it as red (past), instead of reed (present).

8. ... they... answered... our question...?

Again, there is not enough information, however this should be in the past, as it is a question, and would imply something that has occurred in the past (or learnt from the past).

9. you... waited here since 8:00?

There is not enough information, but given how it is a question and time, it can only be the future or the past. You will either use since for past, or until for future.

10. I searched for the keys for days.

Searching applies either the present or the past. The fact that "am" is not inside the sentence applies that it is the past.
