The correct answer is b she always drinks we use the simple present when talking about habits and general truths for examples water boils at 180 degree do not forget the SSSS with he/ she / it 2. person A would ask does he wear a suit b. why does he wearing a suit c. why is he wearing a suit be careful: person B would say well because he has a job interview the correct answer is C why is he wearing a coat we use the present continuous when we talk about temporary actions or situations a restaurant a.I am going to have the soup b. I will have the soup c. I will going to have the soup let’s proceed by elimination C is always wrong. That leaves be going to * verb or will here you are at a restaurant and we know that we use be going to verb with plans for example, Next year, I am going to apply for a better job so unless you planned what you will eat at home you need to use will for instant decisions, promises, and offers. my meeting is canceled, I will call my mom I will always love you I will help you with your work 4. you talk to him yesterday? b,have you talked to him yesterday? you talked to him yesterday? here our indicator is YESTERDAY this refers to a finished action so we need to use the simple past not the present perfect! okay so that leaves A and C Now take a look at C this is a very common mistake. The past is either shown using Ed in the affirmative sentence I talked to him or using the did in negatives I didn’t talk and question did you talk so be careful 5. did you do at 8 pm yesterday were you doing at 8 pm yesterday c. what have you done at 8 Pm yesterday man this one is tricky but your clue is at 8 pm and Yesterday Let’s start by elimination if I have yesterday we will not use the present perfect so C is out then we have yesterday specific time but also at 8 pm unless you started doing this thing at 8 pm then it is likely that you action was ongoing at this momenz let’s say I started watching Tv at 7 pm and was done at 11 pm so the correct answer is B what were you doing! 6 you be to Paris recently ? you been to Paris recently? you been to Paris Recently ? again there is always one clue in the sentence that will point you towards the correct answer Good our clue is Recently, this refers to the past but unspecific I don’t know last week, 3 weeks ago ?? who knows. Here we need the present perfect now the present perfect can be a little tricky if you would like to understand it better check out the link in the description we have covered so far half of the 12 tenses.

I arrived at the airport, the plane had taken off I arrived at the airport, the plane takes off. the correct answer is B, the past perfect explains that action B happened before Action A so the plane took off then he arrived 8 a.I am studying English for 3 hours. I am tired now b.I had studied English for 3 hours. I am tired now C.I have been studying English for 3 hours.
