This question tests the correct usage of prepositions of time. We need to choose the preposition that is appropriate for specifying a precise time of day.
Correct Option: C) at
The question requires choosing the correct word to complete the sentence, focusing on appropriate vocabulary and grammar. We need to select the verb that correctly describes the action of acquiring vegetables from the market.
Correct Option: A) buy
"Buy" is a verb meaning to acquire something by paying for it. It is in the base form, which correctly follows "to" in the infinitive phrase "to buy". This fits the context of going to a market to acquire vegetables.
The task is to choose the correct verb form to complete the sentence "He _____ playing cricket every evening." This requires understanding subject-verb agreement and the appropriate tense for a habitual action.
Correct Option: A) is
The sentence describes a regular, habitual action ("every evening"). For a third-person singular subject like "He", the correct present tense form of the verb "to be" is "is". Thus, "He is playing cricket every evening" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning of a regular activity.
This question tests the correct usage of prepositions of time, specifically when referring to a duration of an action that started in the past and continues into the present. We need to choose the preposition that correctly indicates a starting point in time.
Correct Option: B) since
To choose the correct verb, we need to identify the subject of the sentence and the tense indicated by the context. The sentence uses "there" as an introductory adverb, so the actual subject follows the verb. The word "yesterday" clearly indicates a past tense.
Correct Option: D) were
"Were" is the past tense form of the verb "to be" that agrees with a plural subject ("a lot of people").
This question tests knowledge of conditional sentences, specifically the second conditional, which is used to talk about hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future. The structure for such sentences often involves the past simple in the 'if' clause and 'would' + base verb in the main clause.
If + subject + past simple, subject + would + base form of verb.Correct Option: B) were is correct because it is used in the subjunctive mood for hypothetical or unreal conditions in the second conditional structure. Even with a singular subject like 'I', 'were' is preferred to emphasize the counterfactual nature of the statement.
