Study-sheet questions

In the sentence “Ali reads books.”, the subject is ___.

Arabic translation: في جملة «علي يقرأ كتباً»، الفاعل هو ___.

1. AAli Correct answer
2. Breads
3. Cbooks

Hint: Ask: who does the action in this sentence?

Explanation: The subject is the person or thing that performs the action of the verb, and in a statement it usually comes first. In “Ali reads books”, Ali is the one who reads, so Ali is the subject. “Reads” is the verb (the action) and “books” is the object (the thing that is read).

In the sentence “She reads a book.”, the verb is ___.

Arabic translation: في جملة «هي تقرأ كتاباً»، الفعل هو ___.

1. AShe
2. Breads Correct answer
3. Ca book

Hint: Ask: which word shows the action?

Explanation: The verb tells us the action or state in a sentence. In “She reads a book”, the action is “reads” — notice the -s, because the subject is “she” in the present simple. “She” is the subject (who does it) and “a book” is the object (what she reads).

In the sentence “They play football.”, the object is ___.

Arabic translation: في جملة «هم يلعبون كرة القدم»، المفعول به هو ___.

1. AThey
2. Bplay
3. Cfootball Correct answer

Hint: Ask: what receives the action of the verb?

Explanation: The object is the person or thing that receives the action, and it usually comes after the verb. To find it, ask “They play what?” — the answer is “football”. “They” is the subject and “play” is the verb. Not every sentence has an object (e.g. “They play.”).

The basic order of an English sentence is ___.

Arabic translation: ترتيب الجملة الأساسية في الإنجليزية هو ___.

1. AVerb + Subject + Object
2. BSubject + Verb + Object Correct answer
3. CObject + Verb + Subject

Hint: Think of “Ali reads books”: who, then the action, then what.

Explanation: A basic English statement follows the order Subject + Verb + Object (SVO): Ali (S) reads (V) books (O); They (S) play (V) football (O). Changing this order usually makes the sentence wrong or changes it into another type: questions put an auxiliary before the subject (Does Ali read books?), and commands start with the verb (Read the book!).

The sentence “She is happy.” has an object.

Arabic translation: جملة «هي سعيدة» فيها مفعول به.

1. ATrue
2. BFalse Correct answer

Hint: “Happy” describes the subject. Is anything receiving an action?

Explanation: The answer is False. In “She is happy”, “is” is a linking verb (a form of “be”) and “happy” is an adjective that describes the subject. An object must be a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb, as in “She reads a book”. Words that follow “be” and describe the subject are called complements, not objects.

In “Ahmed bought a car.”, the verb is ___.

Arabic translation: في جملة «أحمد اشترى سيارة»، الفعل هو ___.

1. AAhmed
2. Bbought Correct answer
3. Ca car

Hint: Which word tells you what Ahmed did?

Explanation: The verb is the word that shows the action: “bought”, the irregular past form of “buy”. Ahmed is the subject (the person who bought) and “a car” is the object (the thing he bought). The sentence follows the normal Subject + Verb + Object order.

In “Do you like English?”, the subject is ___.

Arabic translation: في سؤال «هل تحب الإنجليزية؟»، الفاعل هو ___.

1. ADo
2. Byou Correct answer
3. CEnglish

Hint: In a question, the auxiliary comes first. Which word comes right after it?

Explanation: In a present simple question, the auxiliary “do/does” comes first, then the subject, then the main verb: Do (auxiliary) + you (subject) + like (verb) + English (object)? So the subject is “you”. “Do” is only a helping word, and “English” is the object of “like”.

“He works.” is a sentence ___.

Arabic translation: جملة «هو يعمل» هي جملة ___.

1. Awith an object
2. Bwithout an object Correct answer
3. Cwithout a verb

Hint: Does anything receive the action of “works”?

Explanation: “He works.” is a complete sentence with a subject (He) and a verb (works), but nothing receives the action, so it is a sentence without an object. Verbs that do not need an object are called intransitive: work, sleep, arrive, go. Compare “He works hard” (an adverb, still no object) with “He fixes cars” (object: cars).

I want ___ learn.

Arabic translation: أريد ___ أتعلم.

1. Ato Correct answer
2. Bfor
3. Cat

Hint: Which small word introduces a verb after “want”?

Explanation: The verb “want” is followed by the to-infinitive (to + base verb): I want to learn; She wants to travel. “For” and “at” are prepositions; they cannot introduce a base verb, so “I want for learn” and “I want at learn” are incorrect.

I enjoy ___.

Arabic translation: أستمتع بـ ___.

1. Aread
2. Breading Correct answer
3. Cto read

Hint: Some verbs, like “enjoy”, are followed by a specific verb form.

Explanation: Some verbs must be followed by the -ing form (gerund), and “enjoy” is one of them: I enjoy reading; She enjoys swimming. Other common examples are “finish” and “mind”. “I enjoy read” has no correct verb form, and “I enjoy to read” is a frequent mistake because many other verbs (want, hope) take “to”.

She runs ___.

Arabic translation: هي تجري ___.

1. Aquick
2. Bquickly Correct answer
3. Cquicker than

Hint: The missing word describes how she runs (the verb).

Explanation: The missing word describes how she runs, so it modifies a verb and must be an adverb. Most adverbs of manner are formed with adjective + -ly: quick → quickly. “Quick” is an adjective (She is a quick runner), and “quicker than” would need a comparison with another person.

Wash your hands ___ eating.

Arabic translation: اغسل يديك ___ الأكل.

1. Abefore Correct answer
2. Bfor
3. Cuntil

Hint: When should you wash your hands — at what point in relation to eating?

Explanation: “Before” shows that one action happens earlier than another, and it can be followed by an -ing form: Wash your hands before eating. Hygiene requires washing your hands before you eat. “For eating” and “until eating” do not express the right time relationship.

I stayed home ___ I was sick.

Arabic translation: بقيت في البيت ___ كنت مريضاً.

1. Abut
2. Bbecause Correct answer
3. Cso

Hint: The second part explains the reason for staying home.

Explanation: “Because” introduces the reason for something: I stayed home because I was sick. Being sick is the cause, and staying home is the result. “But” introduces a contrast, and “so” introduces a result (I was sick, so I stayed home — note that the clauses are reversed).

Ali is ___ tall ___ Omar. (the same height)

Arabic translation: علي طويل ___ عمر. (مساواة)

1. Aas / as Correct answer
2. Bmore / than
3. Cthe / of

Hint: The two boys are the same height. Which pattern shows equality?

Explanation: To say two things are equal, we use “as + adjective + as”: Ali is as tall as Omar (they are the same height). The negative form shows a difference: Ali is not as tall as Omar. “More … than” is used with long adjectives to show a difference, and “the … of” is a superlative pattern.

I have ___ money. (positive sentence)

Arabic translation: لدي ___ مال. (جملة مثبتة)

1. Asome Correct answer
2. Bany
3. Cmany

Hint: The sentence is positive, and “money” is uncountable.

Explanation: “Some” is used in positive sentences with uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns: I have some money; I have some friends. “Any” is mainly used in negatives and questions (I don’t have any money), and “many” is only for countable nouns, so “many money” is wrong.

There ___ two books.

Arabic translation: يوجد ___ كتابان.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cam

Hint: “Two books” is plural.

Explanation: “There is / There are” tells us that something exists. We use “There is” with singular or uncountable nouns (There is a book; There is some milk) and “There are” with plural nouns. “Two books” is plural, so: There are two books. “Am” is never used with “there”.

Choose the indefinite article: ___ apple

Arabic translation: اختر أداة التنكير: ___ apple

1. AA
2. BAn Correct answer
3. CThe

Hint: Choose by the first sound of the next word, not only by its first letter.

Explanation: The indefinite article is “a” or “an”, and the choice depends on the first sound of the next word, not its spelling. “Apple” begins with a vowel sound, so we say “an apple”. Spelling can mislead: “an hour” (silent h, vowel sound) but “a university” (begins with a /j/ “yoo” sound). “The” is the definite article, which the question excludes.

This is ___ car.

Arabic translation: هذه ___ سيارة.

1. Amy Correct answer
2. Bme
3. CI

Hint: The word before “car” shows who owns it.

Explanation: A possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, our, their) comes before a noun to show who owns it: This is my car. “Me” is an object pronoun used after verbs and prepositions (Help me), and “I” is a subject pronoun used before verbs (I drive).

She is ___ now.

Arabic translation: هي ___ الآن. (تدرس)

1. Astudy
2. Bstudying Correct answer
3. Cstudies

Hint: “Is” + “now” shows an action in progress.

Explanation: The present continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing) describes an action happening at the moment of speaking. The sentence has “is” and “now”, so we need “studying”: She is studying now. “Study” and “studies” cannot follow “is”.

Where ___ you live?

Arabic translation: أين ___ تسكن؟

1. Ado Correct answer
2. Bdoes
3. Care

Hint: “Live” is an ordinary verb, and the subject is “you”.

Explanation: Wh- questions in the present simple follow the order: question word + do/does + subject + base verb. With “you” we use “do”: Where do you live? “Does” is for he/she/it (Where does she live?), and “are” cannot be followed by the base verb “live”.

There ___ a car.

Arabic translation: ___ سيارة.

1. Ais Correct answer
2. Bare
3. Cam

Hint: “A car” is singular.

Explanation: We use “There is” with a singular noun to say that something exists: There is a car. “There are” is used with plural nouns (There are two cars), and “am” is never used with “there”.

There ___ many students.

Arabic translation: ___ طلاب كثيرون.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cbe

Hint: “Many students” is plural.

Explanation: “Students” is a plural noun, so we use “There are”: There are many students. “There is” is for singular or uncountable nouns, and “be” is the base form, which is not used here.

I have ___ books.

Arabic translation: لدي كتب ___ .

1. Amuch
2. Bmany Correct answer
3. Ca little

Hint: “Books” is plural and countable.

Explanation: “Many” is used with plural countable nouns: I have many books. “Much” and “a little” are used with uncountable nouns (much money, a little time), so they cannot go before “books”. In positive sentences “a lot of books” is also common.

I don’t drink ___ water.

Arabic translation: لا أشرب ___ ماء.

1. Amany
2. Bmuch Correct answer
3. Ca few

Hint: “Water” is uncountable and the sentence is negative.

Explanation: “Water” is uncountable, so we use “much” (not “many”), and “much” is most natural in negative sentences and questions: I don’t drink much water. “Many” is for countable nouns, and “a few” is for countable plurals in positive sentences.

Do you have ___ books?

Arabic translation: هل لديك ___ كتب؟

1. Amuch
2. Bany Correct answer
3. Ca

Hint: This is a question with a plural noun.

Explanation: “Any” is used in questions and negatives with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns: Do you have any books? “Much” is only for uncountable nouns, and “a” cannot be used with a plural noun like “books”.

Choose the indefinite article: ___ university

Arabic translation: اختر الأداة: ___ university

1. Aa Correct answer
2. Ban
3. Cthe

Hint: Say the word aloud. Does it begin with a vowel sound or a consonant sound?

Explanation: “University” begins with the letter u, but the first sound is /j/ (“yoo”), which is a consonant sound. The article depends on the sound, so we say “a university”, just like “a uniform” and “a European country”. “An” is used before vowel sounds (an umbrella, an hour).

study → ___ (He / She / It)

Arabic translation: study مع He / She / It تصبح ___

1. Astudys
2. Bstudies Correct answer
3. Cstudyes

Hint: “Study” ends in a consonant + y. What happens before the -s ending?

Explanation: With he/she/it, most verbs add -s. When a verb ends in a consonant + y, we change the y to i and add -es: study → studies, try → tries, carry → carries. If a vowel comes before the y, we just add -s (play → plays).

watch → ___ (He / She / It)

Arabic translation: watch مع He / She / It تصبح ___

1. Awatchs
2. Bwatches Correct answer
3. Cwatchies

Hint: Verbs ending in -ch, -sh, -s, -x or -o take a longer ending.

Explanation: Verbs ending in -ch, -sh, -s, -x or -o add -es with he/she/it, because an extra syllable is needed to pronounce them: watch → watches, wash → washes, fix → fixes, go → goes. “Watchs” is hard to pronounce and wrong, and “watchies” adds an unnecessary i.

I know ___. (he)

Arabic translation: أنا أعرف ___ . (he كمفعول به)

1. Ahe
2. Bhim Correct answer
3. Chis

Hint: The pronoun comes after the verb “know”. Which form is used for objects?

Explanation: After a verb, we use an object pronoun. The object form of “he” is “him”: I know him. “He” is the subject form (He knows me), and “his” is a possessive (his car).

This is ___ phone. (he)

Arabic translation: هذا جوال ___ . (صفة الملكية من he)

1. Ahim
2. Bhis Correct answer
3. Che

Hint: The pronoun comes before a noun (phone) and shows ownership.

Explanation: Before a noun, we use a possessive adjective to show who owns it. The possessive adjective of “he” is “his”: This is his phone. “Him” is an object pronoun (I called him), and “he” is a subject pronoun.

I help ___. (they)

Arabic translation: أنا أساعد ___ . (they كمفعول به)

1. Athey
2. Btheir
3. Cthem Correct answer

Hint: The pronoun comes after the verb “help”. Which form is the object?

Explanation: After a verb, we need an object pronoun. The object form of “they” is “them”: I help them. “They” is the subject form, and “their” is a possessive adjective that must be followed by a noun (their house).

He drives ___.

Arabic translation: هو يقود ___ .

1. Aquick
2. Bquickly Correct answer

Hint: The missing word describes how he drives (the verb).

Explanation: The missing word tells us how he drives, so it describes a verb and must be an adverb: He drives quickly. Many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective. “Quick” is an adjective and describes nouns (a quick driver).

He is a ___ driver.

Arabic translation: هو سائق ___ .

1. Aquick Correct answer
2. Bquickly

Hint: The missing word describes a noun (driver).

Explanation: The missing word describes the noun “driver”, so it must be an adjective, which comes before the noun: He is a quick driver. “Quickly” is an adverb and describes verbs (He drives quickly). Compare s238 to see the difference.

I was late, ___ I ran.

Arabic translation: تأخرت، ___ ركضت.

1. Abecause
2. Bso Correct answer
3. Cbut

Hint: Being late is the cause; running is the result.

Explanation: Being late is the cause and running is the result, so we use “so”, which introduces a result: I was late, so I ran. “Because” would introduce the reason (I ran because I was late), and “but” shows a contrast.

I am tired, ___ I still study for my exam.

Arabic translation: أنا متعب، ___ ما زلت أذاكر لاختباري.

1. Abut Correct answer
2. Bso
3. Cor

Hint: Being tired and still studying are opposite ideas.

Explanation: The two ideas contrast with each other: you might expect a tired person to rest, but the speaker still studies. “But” introduces a contrast, and the word “still” reinforces it: I am tired, but I still study for my exam. “So” would mean being tired is the reason for studying, which is not logical, and “or” offers a choice between two options.

___ are my books. (near, plural)

Arabic translation: ___ كتبي. (قريبة، جمع)

1. AThis
2. BThese Correct answer
3. CThose

Hint: Near + plural.

Explanation: Demonstratives show distance and number: this (near, singular), these (near, plural), that (far, singular), those (far, plural). The books are near and plural, so: These are my books. “This” is singular, and “those” is for things that are far.

___ is his car. (far, singular)

Arabic translation: ___ سيارته. (بعيدة، مفرد)

1. AThis
2. BThat Correct answer
3. CThose

Hint: Far + singular.

Explanation: The car is far away and singular, so we use “that”: That is his car. “This” is for something near, and “those” is the plural form (Those are his cars).

She likes ___ read.

Arabic translation: هي تحب ___ تقرأ.

1. Ato Correct answer
2. Bfor
3. Cat

Hint: After “like”, an infinitive can follow.

Explanation: The verb “like” can be followed by a to-infinitive or an -ing form: She likes to read / She likes reading (both are correct). “For” and “at” are prepositions; they cannot be followed by a base verb like “read”.

___ the door. (imperative)

Arabic translation: ___ الباب. (أمر)

1. AOpen Correct answer
2. BOpens
3. COpening

Hint: A command (imperative) starts with which verb form?

Explanation: An imperative is used to give a command or instruction. It begins with the base form of the verb and normally has no subject: Open the door. Sit down. “Opens” has the third-person -s, and “Opening” is an -ing form, so neither can start a command.

big → ___ (comparative)

Arabic translation: صيغة المقارنة من big هي ___

1. Abiger
2. Bbigger Correct answer
3. Cmore big

Hint: “Big” is one syllable and ends in consonant–vowel–consonant.

Explanation: “Big” is a one-syllable adjective ending in consonant–vowel–consonant (b-i-g), so we double the final consonant before adding -er: bigger. The same rule gives hot → hotter and thin → thinner. “Biger” forgets to double, and “more big” is wrong because short adjectives use -er.

How ___ books do you have?

Arabic translation: كم كتاباً لديك؟

1. Amuch
2. Bmany Correct answer

Hint: “Books” is countable.

Explanation: “How many” is used with plural countable nouns: How many books do you have? “How much” is used with uncountable nouns: How much money do you have? Because “books” is countable, “much” is wrong.

She ___ going. (negative, present continuous)

Arabic translation: هي ___ ذاهبة. (نفي مضارع مستمر)

1. Aisn't Correct answer
2. Bdoesn't
3. Cdidn't

Hint: The present continuous negative is be + not + -ing. Which form goes with “she”?

Explanation: The present continuous negative is am/is/are + not + verb-ing. With “she” we use “isn’t” (is not): She isn’t going. “Doesn’t” and “didn’t” are used with base verbs in the present and past simple (She doesn’t go), not with -ing forms.

___ you going?

Arabic translation: هل أنت ذاهب؟

1. ADo
2. BAre Correct answer
3. CDid

Hint: Present continuous questions put a form of “be” first. Which one goes with “you”?

Explanation: Present continuous questions are made by putting am/is/are before the subject: Are you going? Is she going? With “you” we use “Are”. “Do” and “Did” are auxiliaries for the simple tenses and are followed by the base verb (Do you go?), not by -ing.

There ___ an apple.

Arabic translation: ___ تفاحة.

1. Ais Correct answer
2. Bare

Hint: “An apple” is singular.

Explanation: “An apple” is one thing (singular), so we use “There is”: There is an apple. “There are” is for plural nouns (There are three apples).

There ___ students in the class.

Arabic translation: ___ طلاب في الفصل.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer

Hint: “Students” is plural.

Explanation: “Students” is plural, so we use “There are”: There are students in the class. “There is” is used with singular or uncountable nouns.

There aren't ___ cars.

Arabic translation: لا توجد ___ سيارات.

1. Asome
2. Bany Correct answer
3. Ca

Hint: The sentence is negative.

Explanation: In negative sentences we use “any” with plural and uncountable nouns: There aren’t any cars. “Some” is typical of positive sentences (There are some cars), and “a” cannot go before a plural noun.

She has ___ books.

Arabic translation: لديها ___ كتب.

1. Asome Correct answer
2. Bany

Hint: The sentence is positive.

Explanation: In positive sentences we use “some” with plural and uncountable nouns: She has some books. “Any” is mainly used in negatives and questions: She doesn’t have any books / Does she have any books?

___ hour

Arabic translation: اختر الأداة: ___ hour

1. Aa
2. Ban Correct answer

Hint: Is the first letter of this word pronounced?

Explanation: The h in “hour” is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound. Because the choice between “a” and “an” depends on sound, not spelling, we say “an hour”. Compare: a house (the h is pronounced).

The book is ___ the table.

Arabic translation: الكتاب ___ الطاولة.

1. Ain
2. Bon Correct answer
3. Cat

Hint: The book is touching the top surface of the table.

Explanation: “On” describes a position touching a surface: The book is on the table. “In” means inside something (in the box), and “at” refers to a point or location (at the door).

I am ___ home.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ البيت.

1. Ain
2. Bon
3. Cat Correct answer

Hint: This is a fixed expression with “home”.

Explanation: “At home” is a fixed expression meaning in your house: I am at home. We do not say “in home” or “on home”. Note also that we say “go home” (no preposition) when we describe movement.

She is ___ a car.

Arabic translation: هي ___ السيارة.

1. Ain Correct answer
2. Bon
3. Cat

Hint: She is inside a small vehicle.

Explanation: We use “in” for cars and taxis because you sit inside a small, enclosed space: She is in a car. For larger public vehicles where you can stand or walk, we usually use “on”: on a bus, on a train, on a plane.

I like ___. (she)

Arabic translation: أنا أحب ___ . (she كمفعول به)

1. Ashe
2. Bher Correct answer
3. Chers

Hint: The pronoun comes after the verb “like”. Which form of “she” is used as an object?

Explanation: After a verb, we use an object pronoun. The object form of “she” is “her”: I like her. “She” is the subject form, and “hers” is a possessive pronoun that replaces a noun (The book is hers).

Join ___. (we)

Arabic translation: انضم إلى ___ . (we كمفعول به)

1. Awe
2. Bus Correct answer
3. Cour

Hint: The pronoun comes after the verb “join”. Which form of “we” is the object?

Explanation: After the verb “join” we need an object pronoun. The object form of “we” is “us”: Join us! “We” is the subject form, and “our” is a possessive adjective that must come before a noun (our team).

This is ___ house. (we)

Arabic translation: هذا بيت ___ . (صفة الملكية من we)

1. Aus
2. Bour Correct answer
3. Cwe

Hint: The pronoun comes before a noun (house) and shows ownership.

Explanation: Before the noun “house” we need a possessive adjective. The possessive adjective of “we” is “our”: This is our house. “Us” is an object pronoun (Visit us), and “we” is a subject pronoun.

Which noun is countable?

Arabic translation: أي اسم معدود؟

1. Amoney
2. Binformation
3. Capple Correct answer
4. Dwater

Hint: Which noun can be made plural with -s and counted?

Explanation: A countable noun has a singular and a plural form and can be used with numbers: one apple, two apples. “Money”, “information” and “water” are uncountable in English: we say “some money”, “a piece of information” and “a glass of water”, not “two moneys”, “informations” or “waters”.

I don’t have ___ time.

Arabic translation: ليس لدي وقت ___ .

1. Amany
2. Bmuch Correct answer

Hint: “Time” is uncountable and the sentence is negative.

Explanation: “Time” (meaning an amount of time) is uncountable, so it takes “much”, which is natural in negative sentences: I don’t have much time. “Many” is used with plural countable nouns (many hours).

She speaks ___.

Arabic translation: هي تتحدث ___ .

1. Aclear
2. Bclearly Correct answer

Hint: The word describes how she speaks.

Explanation: The missing word describes how she speaks, so it modifies the verb “speaks” and must be an adverb: She speaks clearly. “Clear” is an adjective that describes nouns (a clear voice).

They work ___.

Arabic translation: هم يعملون ___ .

1. Ahard Correct answer
2. Bhardly
3. Chardy

Hint: This adverb has the same form as its adjective. Be careful: one option means “almost not”.

Explanation: “Hard” is one of the few adverbs with the same form as the adjective: a hard worker (adjective) / They work hard (adverb). Be careful with “hardly”: it is not the adverb of “hard” — it means “almost not” (They hardly work = they do very little work). “Hardy” is an adjective meaning strong and able to survive difficult conditions.

This phone is ___ expensive than that one.

Arabic translation: هذا الجوال ___ غلاءً من ذاك.

1. Amore Correct answer
2. Bmost
3. Cer

Hint: “Expensive” is a long adjective, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Than that one” shows a comparison, and “expensive” is a long adjective (three syllables), so the comparative is formed with “more”: This phone is more expensive than that one. “Most” is for superlatives, and “-er” is added only to short adjectives (cheaper).

He is ___. (tall, comparative)

Arabic translation: هو ___ . (صيغة المقارنة من tall)

1. Ataller Correct answer
2. Bmore tall
3. Ctallest

Hint: “Tall” is a short adjective. How do short adjectives form the comparative?

Explanation: The question asks for the comparative of “tall”. One-syllable adjectives add -er: tall → taller (He is taller than his brother). “More tall” is incorrect for a short adjective, and “tallest” is the superlative (the tallest in the class).

___ book is this? (asking about the owner)

Arabic translation: ___ هذا الكتاب؟ (السؤال عن صاحب الكتاب)

1. AWho
2. BWhose Correct answer
3. CWhich

Hint: The question asks who owns the book.

Explanation: “Whose” asks about the owner of something and is followed by a noun: Whose book is this? — It’s Ali’s. “Who” asks about a person (Who is that?), and “Which” asks someone to choose from a limited group.

___ car do you want, the red one or the blue one?

Arabic translation: ___ سيارة تريد، الحمراء أم الزرقاء؟

1. AWhich Correct answer
2. BWhat
3. CWho

Hint: The speaker gives a limited choice: the red one or the blue one.

Explanation: “Which” is used when the speaker chooses from a known, limited set of options: Which car do you want, the red one or the blue one? “What” is used for open questions where the possible answers are not limited (What car do you drive?). In informal speech “what” is sometimes heard here, but “which” is the correct choice when the options are stated.

___ are you late?

Arabic translation: ___ أنت متأخر؟

1. AWhy Correct answer
2. BWhere
3. CWho

Hint: The question asks for a reason.

Explanation: “Why” asks for a reason, and the answer often begins with “because”: Why are you late? — Because the traffic was heavy. “Where” asks about a place, and “Who” asks about a person.

___ be noisy! (negative imperative)

Arabic translation: ___ تكن مزعجاً! (نهي)

1. ANot
2. BDon't Correct answer
3. CNo

Hint: A negative command uses a negative auxiliary + base verb.

Explanation: Negative imperatives (telling someone not to do something) are formed with “Don’t” + base verb: Don’t be noisy! Don’t touch that! This is true even with the verb “be”. “Not be” and “No be” are incorrect.

I want ___ study.

Arabic translation: أريد ___ أدرس.

1. Ato Correct answer
2. Bfor

Hint: “Want” and “study” are both verbs. Which word links them?

Explanation: The verb “want” is followed by “to” + base verb (the to-infinitive): I want to study; He wants to go home. “For” is a preposition and cannot introduce a verb here.

It is easy ___ learn.

Arabic translation: من السهل ___ تتعلم.

1. Ato Correct answer
2. Bfor
3. Cat

Hint: After “It is + adjective”, use an infinitive.

Explanation: The structure “It is + adjective + to + base verb” gives an opinion about an action: It is easy to learn; It is important to sleep well. “For” and “at” are prepositions and cannot introduce the verb “learn”.

___ you like coffee?

Arabic translation: ___ تحب القهوة؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BDoes
3. CIs
4. DWas

Hint: “Like” is an ordinary verb, the subject is “you”, and the sentence is in the present.

Explanation: Questions in the present simple with ordinary verbs (like, go, work) need the auxiliary “do” or “does”. We use “Do” with I/you/we/they and “Does” with he/she/it: Do you like coffee? “Does” does not match “you”, and “Is/Was” are forms of “be”, which are not used with another main verb like “like”.

___ he a student?

Arabic translation: ___ هو طالب؟

1. ADo
2. BDoes
3. CIs Correct answer
4. DAre

Hint: There is no ordinary verb here — “a student” is a noun. Which form of “be” goes with “he”?

Explanation: This sentence has no action verb; “a student” is a noun that describes him. In this case the verb is “be”, and in questions “be” moves before the subject: Is he a student? With he/she/it the present form is “is”. “Do/Does” are only used to make questions with ordinary verbs (Does he study?), and “Are” is for you/we/they.

___ they at home yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ هم في البيت أمس؟

1. AWas
2. BWere Correct answer
3. CDo
4. DDoes

Hint: “Yesterday” is past, and “at home” describes a place, so we need “be”.

Explanation: “At home” describes a location and there is no action verb, so we need the verb “be”. “Yesterday” requires the past: “was” for I/he/she/it and “were” for you/we/they. Because the subject is “they”, the question is: Were they at home yesterday? “Do/Does” are present auxiliaries for ordinary verbs.

___ she have a car?

Arabic translation: ___ هي تملك سيارة؟

1. ADo
2. BDoes Correct answer
3. CHas
4. DHave

Hint: “Have” is the main verb here (= own). Which auxiliary forms present questions with “she”?

Explanation: In “She has a car”, “have” is the main verb meaning “own”. To make a present simple question with an ordinary main verb, we use “Does” with he/she/it, and the main verb returns to its base form: Does she have a car? “Has she a car?” is old-fashioned, “Do” does not match “she”, and “Has … have” would repeat the verb.

I ___ at home yesterday.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ في البيت أمس.

1. Awas Correct answer
2. Bwere
3. Cam

Hint: “Yesterday” is past. Which past form of “be” goes with “I”?

Explanation: The past forms of “be” are “was” (I, he, she, it) and “were” (you, we, they). With “I” and “yesterday” we say: I was at home yesterday. “Were” does not match “I”, and “am” is the present form, which conflicts with “yesterday”.

She ___ a teacher.

Arabic translation: هي ___ معلمة.

1. Ais Correct answer
2. Bare
3. Cam

Hint: Which present form of “be” goes with “she”?

Explanation: In the present, “be” has three forms: am (I), is (he/she/it) and are (you/we/they). “She” is third-person singular, so: She is a teacher. Notice that jobs take “a/an”: She is a teacher, not “She is teacher”.

They ___ in the park now.

Arabic translation: هم ___ في الحديقة الآن.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cwere

Hint: “Now” shows the present. Which form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: “Now” tells us the sentence is about the present, and “they” is plural, so the present form of “be” is “are”: They are in the park now. “Is” is singular (he/she/it is), and “were” is the past form, which conflicts with “now”.

___ you go to school?

Arabic translation: ___ تذهب إلى المدرسة؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BDoes
3. CIs

Hint: “Go” is an ordinary verb and the subject is “you”.

Explanation: “Go” is an ordinary (action) verb, so the present simple question needs the auxiliary “do/does”. With “you” we use “Do”: Do you go to school? “Does” is for he/she/it, and “Is” cannot be used with another main verb in the base form (“Is you go” is wrong).

___ he play football?

Arabic translation: ___ هو يلعب كرة القدم؟

1. ADo
2. BDoes Correct answer
3. CIs

Hint: “Play” is an ordinary verb and the subject is “he”.

Explanation: With he/she/it, present simple questions use “Does” + subject + base verb: Does he play football? The -s goes on the auxiliary (does), so the main verb has no -s (play, not plays). “Do” is for I/you/we/they, and “Is” is used with adjectives, nouns or -ing forms.

We ___ a new car.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ سيارة جديدة.

1. Ahas
2. Bhave Correct answer
3. Cdoes

Hint: The verb shows possession. Which form goes with “we”?

Explanation: To show possession in the present simple, we use “have” with I/you/we/they and “has” with he/she/it: We have a new car. “Has” does not match “we”, and “does” is an auxiliary; it cannot express possession by itself.

She ___ tired yesterday.

Arabic translation: هي ___ متعبة أمس.

1. Awas Correct answer
2. Bwere
3. Cis

Hint: “Tired” is an adjective and “yesterday” is past. Which past form of “be” goes with “she”?

Explanation: “Tired” is an adjective, so it needs the verb “be”. “Yesterday” requires the past, and the past form of “be” for he/she/it is “was”: She was tired yesterday. “Were” is for you/we/they, and “is” is present.

They ___ happy.

Arabic translation: هم ___ سعداء.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cam

Hint: “Happy” is an adjective. Which present form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: Adjectives like “happy” follow the verb “be”. In the present, “be” is “are” with you/we/they: They are happy. “Is” is for a singular subject and “am” is only for “I”.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. ADoes he works?
2. BDoes he work? Correct answer

Hint: After an auxiliary like “does”, what happens to the -s on the main verb?

Explanation: “Does he work?” is correct. In present simple questions, the third-person -s moves to the auxiliary: do → does. The main verb then stays in its base form, so “Does he works?” marks the third person twice and is wrong. The same rule applies to negatives: He doesn’t work.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AThey was at home.
2. BThey were at home. Correct answer

Hint: Which past form of “be” goes with a plural subject like “they”?

Explanation: “They were at home.” is correct. The past of “be” has two forms: “was” with I/he/she/it and “were” with you/we/they. “They was” is a common mistake (and is heard in some dialects), but it is not correct in standard English.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AIs they students?
2. BAre they students? Correct answer

Hint: Which present form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: “Are they students?” is correct. To make a question with “be”, we put the verb before the subject, and the form must agree with the subject: Are they …? / Is he …? “Is they” mixes a singular verb with a plural subject.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. ADid you went?
2. BDid you go? Correct answer

Hint: After “did”, which verb form do we use?

Explanation: “Did you go?” is correct. In past simple questions, “did” carries the past tense, so the main verb stays in the base form: Did you go / see / buy? “Did you went?” marks the past twice. The same rule applies in negatives: I didn’t go.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AHe has a car. Correct answer
2. BHe have a car.

Hint: Which form of “have” goes with he/she/it?

Explanation: “He has a car.” is correct. In the present simple, “have” changes to “has” with he/she/it (like other verbs that add -s). With I/you/we/they we use “have”: They have a car.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AI am ready. Correct answer
2. BI is ready.

Hint: “I” has its own present form of “be”.

Explanation: “I am ready.” is correct. The verb “be” is irregular in the present: I am, you are, he/she/it is, we/they are. “I” is the only subject that uses “am”, so “I is” is always wrong.

We ___ at the beach yesterday.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ على الشاطئ أمس.

1. Aare
2. Bis
3. Cwere Correct answer
4. Ddo

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “at the beach” is a place. Which past form of “be” goes with “we”?

Explanation: “At the beach” is a place and there is no action verb, so we use “be”. “Yesterday” requires the past: “were” with we/you/they. So: We were at the beach yesterday. “Are” and “is” are present, and “do” is not used to describe a location.

___ she like reading?

Arabic translation: ___ هي تحب القراءة؟

1. ADo
2. BDoes Correct answer
3. CIs
4. DWas

Hint: “Like” is an ordinary verb and the subject is “she”.

Explanation: “Like” is an ordinary verb, so the question needs “do/does”. With she we use “Does”: Does she like reading? The main verb stays in the base form after “does”. “Is/Was” are forms of “be” and cannot be followed by the base verb “like”, and “Do” is for I/you/we/they.

He ___ a brother.

Arabic translation: هو ___ أخ.

1. Ado
2. Bdoes
3. Chas Correct answer
4. Dhave

Hint: The verb shows possession, and the subject is “he”.

Explanation: To say that he possesses something in the present simple, we use “has”: He has a brother. “Have” is for I/you/we/they, and “do/does” are auxiliaries that need another verb (Does he have a brother?).

I ___ my homework yesterday.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ واجبي أمس.

1. Ado
2. Bdoes
3. Cdid Correct answer
4. Dwas

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “do homework” uses an ordinary verb.

Explanation: Here “do” is the main verb in the expression “do homework”. Its past simple form is “did” (do – did – done): I did my homework yesterday. “Do” and “does” are present forms, and “was” is the past of “be”, which does not go with a noun object like “my homework” in this way.

___ they students?

Arabic translation: ___ هم طلاب؟

1. AIs
2. BAre Correct answer
3. CDo

Hint: There is no ordinary verb; “students” is a noun. Which form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: “Students” is a noun that describes them, so the verb is “be”. In a question, “be” comes before the subject, and with “they” the present form is “are”: Are they students? “Is” is singular, and “Do” is used only with ordinary verbs.

___ she at university yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ هي في الجامعة أمس؟

1. AIs
2. BWas Correct answer
3. CWere

Hint: “Yesterday” is past, and “at university” is a place. Which past form of “be” goes with “she”?

Explanation: This question asks about a location in the past, so it uses the past of “be”. With she the form is “was”: Was she at university yesterday? “Is” is present and “Were” is for you/we/they.

___ you go to university yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ ذهبت إلى الجامعة أمس؟

1. ADid Correct answer
2. BDo
3. CDoes

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “go” is an ordinary verb.

Explanation: “Go” is an ordinary verb and “yesterday” requires the past simple, so the question uses “Did” + subject + base verb: Did you go to university yesterday? “Do” and “Does” are present auxiliaries.

___ it a nice car?

Arabic translation: ___ هي سيارة جميلة؟

1. AIs Correct answer
2. BAre
3. CDo

Hint: “A nice car” is a noun phrase. Which form of “be” goes with “it”?

Explanation: There is no action verb; “a nice car” describes “it”, so we need “be”. With “it” the present form is “is”: Is it a nice car? “Are” is plural and “Do” is used with ordinary verbs.

___ they play football?

Arabic translation: ___ هم يلعبون كرة القدم؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BDoes
3. CIs

Hint: “Play” is an ordinary verb and the subject is “they”.

Explanation: “Play” is an ordinary verb, and with I/you/we/they present simple questions use “Do”: Do they play football? “Does” is only for he/she/it, and “Is” cannot be followed by a base verb.

___ we at home yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ نحن في البيت أمس؟

1. AWas
2. BWere Correct answer
3. CDid

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “at home” is a place. Which past form of “be” goes with “we”?

Explanation: “At home” is a location, so we use “be”, and “yesterday” requires the past. With “we” the past form is “were”: Were we at home yesterday? “Was” is for I/he/she/it, and “Did” is used with ordinary verbs (Did we stay at home?).

I ___ happy yesterday.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ سعيداً أمس.

1. Aam
2. Bwas Correct answer
3. Cwere

Hint: “Happy” is an adjective and “yesterday” is past. Which form of “be” goes with “I”?

Explanation: Adjectives follow “be”, and “yesterday” needs the past. With “I”, the past form of “be” is “was”: I was happy yesterday. “Am” is present and “were” is for you/we/they.

They ___ in Jeddah.

Arabic translation: هم ___ في جدة.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cwas

Hint: “In Jeddah” is a place. Which present form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: To say where people are, we use “be” + place. With “they” in the present we use “are”: They are in Jeddah. “Is” is singular, and “was” is a singular past form.

DID is used with ___.

Arabic translation: DID تُستخدم مع ___.

1. AHe / She / It only
2. BI / You / We / They only
3. Call pronouns Correct answer

Hint: In the past simple, does the auxiliary change with the subject?

Explanation: The past auxiliary “did” is the same for every subject: I did, you did, he did, she did, it did, we did, they did. This is different from the present, where “do” changes to “does” with he/she/it. So “did” is used with all pronouns: Did she go? / Did they go?

With He / She / It in the present we use ___.

Arabic translation: مع He / She / It في المضارع نستخدم ___.

1. Aare – do – have
2. Bis – does – has Correct answer
3. Cam – do – have

Hint: In the present simple, which forms go with he/she/it for “be”, “do” and “have”?

Explanation: In the present, third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) take special forms: “is” (be), “does” (do) and “has” (have). The other subjects use am/are, do and have. Example: She is a student. Does she work? She has a car.

I ___ a new phone.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ جوال جديد.

1. Ahave Correct answer
2. Bhas
3. Cis

Hint: The verb shows possession, and the subject is “I”.

Explanation: To express possession in the present simple, “I” takes “have”: I have a new phone. “Has” is only for he/she/it, and “is” would describe the subject rather than show possession.

He ___ a doctor.

Arabic translation: هو ___ طبيب.

1. Aam
2. Bis Correct answer
3. Care

Hint: “A doctor” is a noun. Which present form of “be” goes with “he”?

Explanation: “A doctor” is a noun describing his job, so the verb is “be”. With “he” the present form is “is”: He is a doctor. “Am” is only for “I”, and “are” is for you/we/they.

They ___ at home now.

Arabic translation: هم ___ في البيت الآن.

1. Ais
2. Bare Correct answer
3. Cwere

Hint: “Now” shows the present, and the subject is “they”.

Explanation: “Now” shows the present, “at home” is a place, and the subject “they” is plural, so the verb is “are”: They are at home now. “Is” is singular and “were” is past.

She ___ a car.

Arabic translation: هي ___ سيارة.

1. Ahave
2. Bhas Correct answer
3. Cdo

Hint: The verb shows possession with a third-person singular subject.

Explanation: Possession in the present simple uses “has” with he/she/it: She has a car. “Have” is for I/you/we/they, and “do” is an auxiliary, not a verb of possession.

___ it rain yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ أمطرت أمس؟

1. ADo
2. BDid Correct answer
3. CDoes

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “rain” is an ordinary verb.

Explanation: “Rain” is an ordinary verb, and “yesterday” requires the past simple, so the question uses “Did”: Did it rain yesterday? “Do” and “Does” are present auxiliaries. (Note: with weather verbs, “it” is an empty subject: It rained.)

We ___ tired yesterday.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ متعبين أمس.

1. Awas
2. Bwere Correct answer
3. Cis

Hint: “Tired” is an adjective and “yesterday” is past. Which form of “be” goes with “we”?

Explanation: “Tired” is an adjective, so the verb is “be”, and “yesterday” requires the past. With “we” the past form is “were”: We were tired yesterday. “Was” is for I/he/she/it, and “is” is present.

It ___ a big engine.

Arabic translation: هي (السيارة) ___ محرك كبير.

1. Ahave
2. Bhas Correct answer
3. Cis

Hint: “It” (the car) owns the engine. Which form of “have” goes with “it”?

Explanation: Here “it” refers to a car, and “have” shows that the car has a part. With he/she/it the present form is “has”: It has a big engine. “Have” is for I/you/we/they, and “is” would need an adjective or noun phrase describing the car.

I have ___ friends. (not many — negative meaning)

Arabic translation: لدي ___ أصدقاء. (ليسوا كثيرين — معنى سلبي)

1. Afew Correct answer
2. Blittle
3. Cless

Hint: “Friends” is countable and the meaning is negative (not many). There is no comparison.

Explanation: “Friends” is a plural countable noun, and the note says the meaning is negative (not many). “Few” (without “a”) + plural countable noun expresses this: I have few friends. “Little” is used with uncountable nouns (little time), and “less” is a comparative for uncountable nouns. Compare: “I have a few friends” (some — positive).

I have ___ books than my brother.

Arabic translation: لدي كتب ___ من أخي.

1. Aless
2. Bfewer Correct answer
3. Clittle

Hint: “Books” is countable, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Than my brother” shows a comparison, and “books” is a plural countable noun. The comparative quantifier for countable nouns is “fewer”: I have fewer books than my brother. “Less” is for uncountable nouns (less money), and “little” is not a comparative.

I have ___ time.

Arabic translation: لدي وقت ___ جداً.

1. Afew
2. Bfewer
3. Clittle Correct answer

Hint: “Time” is uncountable and there is no comparison.

Explanation: “Time” is an uncountable noun, and the sentence is not a comparison. “Little” + uncountable noun means “not much”: I have little time. “Few” and “fewer” are used only with plural countable nouns (few days, fewer hours).

There is ___ traffic today than yesterday.

Arabic translation: يوجد زحام ___ اليوم من أمس.

1. Afewer
2. Bless Correct answer
3. Cfew

Hint: “Traffic” is uncountable, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Traffic” is uncountable (we cannot say “two traffics”), and “than yesterday” shows a comparison. So we use the comparative for uncountable nouns: There is less traffic today than yesterday. “Fewer” is for countable nouns (fewer cars), and “few” is not comparative.

There are ___ students this year than last year.

Arabic translation: يوجد طلاب ___ هذه السنة من السنة الماضية.

1. Aless
2. Bfewer Correct answer
3. Clittle

Hint: “Students” is countable, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Students” is a plural countable noun, and “than last year” compares two amounts. The correct comparative quantifier is “fewer”: There are fewer students this year than last year. “Less” is for uncountable nouns, and “little” does not compare.

There is ___ sugar in the fridge.

Arabic translation: يوجد سكر ___ جداً في الثلاجة.

1. Afew
2. Blittle Correct answer
3. Cfewer

Hint: “Sugar” is uncountable, and there is no comparison.

Explanation: “Sugar” is uncountable, and there is no comparison, so we use “little”: There is little sugar in the fridge (= not much, almost none). “Few” and “fewer” only go with plural countable nouns. If we wanted a positive meaning, we would say “a little sugar”.

There is ___ pollution now than before.

Arabic translation: يوجد تلوث ___ الآن من قبل.

1. Aless Correct answer
2. Bfewer
3. Cfew

Hint: “Pollution” is uncountable, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Pollution” is uncountable, and “than before” makes a comparison, so we use “less”: There is less pollution now than before. “Fewer” is the comparative for countable nouns, and “few” is not a comparative form.

“Few” is used with uncountable nouns.

Arabic translation: كلمة Few تُستخدم مع الأسماء غير المعدودة.

1. ATrue
2. BFalse Correct answer

Hint: Think of examples with “few”: few books, few students. Are these countable?

Explanation: The statement is False. “Few” and “a few” are used with plural countable nouns: few books, a few students. The matching words for uncountable nouns are “little” and “a little”: little money, a little time.

“I have a little money.” means I have some money, but not much.

Arabic translation: «I have a little money» تعني: لدي بعض المال لكنه قليل (موجود).

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Compare “a little” with “little”: which one has a positive meaning?

Explanation: The statement is True. “A little” + uncountable noun means “some, a small amount” and sounds positive: I have a little money, so I can buy a coffee. Without “a”, “little” sounds negative (almost none): I have little money, so I can’t buy anything. The same difference exists between “a few” and “few”.

Which word is used with countable nouns in comparison?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة تُستخدم مع الأسماء المعدودة عند المقارنة؟

1. Aless
2. Bfewer Correct answer
3. Clittle
4. Dfew

Hint: Which word compares amounts of plural countable nouns?

Explanation: “Fewer” is the comparative quantifier for countable nouns: fewer cars, fewer people than before. “Less” is the comparative for uncountable nouns (less traffic). “Few” and “little” describe a small amount but do not compare two amounts.

Which noun is uncountable?

Arabic translation: أي اسم غير معدود؟

1. Acars
2. Bstudents
3. Cwater Correct answer
4. Dreasons

Hint: Which noun cannot be counted with numbers (one, two, three) in its normal meaning?

Explanation: “Water” is an uncountable noun: it has no plural in its normal meaning, and we use “some water” or “a glass of water”, not “two waters”. “Cars”, “students” and “reasons” are plural forms of countable nouns, so they can be counted (three cars, two reasons).

A very tall building in a city is called a ___.

Arabic translation: المبنى العالي جداً في المدينة يسمى ___.

1. Askyscraper Correct answer
2. Bhighway
3. Cpark

Hint: This word was used to describe a photo of Dubai at the start of Unit 6.

Explanation: A “skyscraper” is a very tall modern building in a city, like the towers in Dubai shown at the start of Unit 6. The word combines “sky” and “scraper” (something that scrapes). A highway is a large road, and a park is a public green area.

The word “traffic” means ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة traffic تعني ___.

1. Aتلوث
2. Bزحام / حركة المرور Correct answer
3. Cمرافق

Hint: This word is about cars and other vehicles on the road.

Explanation: “Traffic” means the vehicles (cars, buses, lorries) moving along the roads («حركة المرور / الزحام»). It is uncountable: heavy traffic, less traffic. “Pollution” («تلوث») is dirty air or water, and “facilities” («مرافق») are services and buildings.

“Population” means ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة population تعني ___.

1. Aعدد السكان Correct answer
2. Bحي سكني
3. Cنمط الحياة

Hint: This word is used with numbers: “The ___ of the city is 5 million.”

Explanation: “Population” means the number of people who live in a place («عدد السكان»): The population of Riyadh is over seven million. The other options mean a residential area («حي سكني» = neighbourhood) and lifestyle («نمط الحياة»).

A “neighbourhood” is ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة neighbourhood تعني ___.

1. Aطريق سريع
2. Bحي سكني Correct answer
3. Cمركز تسوق

Hint: This word comes from “neighbour” (a person who lives near you).

Explanation: A “neighbourhood” is an area of a town or city where people live («حي سكني»), and the word is built from “neighbour” + “-hood”. Example: My neighbourhood is quiet. American English spells it “neighborhood”. A highway is a road, and a shopping centre is a building with many shops.

“Facilities” means ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة facilities تعني ___.

1. Aمرافق Correct answer
2. Bمواصلات
3. Cمبانٍ

Hint: Think of hospitals, parks and sports centres that a city provides.

Explanation: “Facilities” («مرافق») are buildings, equipment and services provided for people to use, such as hospitals, parks, gyms and libraries. The word is usually plural: The city has excellent sports facilities. The other options mean transport («مواصلات») and buildings («مبانٍ»).

The negative of “I lived in Riyadh.” is ___.

Arabic translation: نفي جملة «I lived in Riyadh» هو ___.

1. AI didn't lived in Riyadh.
2. BI didn't live in Riyadh. Correct answer
3. CI wasn't live in Riyadh.

Hint: After “didn’t”, which verb form do we use?

Explanation: Past simple negatives with ordinary verbs follow this pattern: subject + didn’t + base verb. So “I lived” becomes “I didn’t live in Riyadh.” The past is shown only once, in “didn’t”, so “didn’t lived” is wrong. “Wasn’t live” mixes the verb “be” with an ordinary verb.

The question form of “They visited Jeddah.” is ___.

Arabic translation: صيغة السؤال من «They visited Jeddah» هي ___.

1. ADid they visit Jeddah? Correct answer
2. BDid they visited Jeddah?
3. CWere they visit Jeddah?

Hint: Past questions start with an auxiliary. Which verb form follows it?

Explanation: To change a past simple statement into a question, put “Did” before the subject and change the verb back to its base form: They visited Jeddah → Did they visit Jeddah? “Did they visited” repeats the past form, and “Were they visit” wrongly uses “be” with an ordinary verb.

Past simple negative form: Subject + ___ + V1.

Arabic translation: نفي الماضي البسيط: الفاعل + ___ + الفعل المجرد.

1. Adon't
2. Bdidn't Correct answer
3. Cwasn't

Hint: Which auxiliary makes past simple negatives with ordinary verbs?

Explanation: The past simple negative structure is: Subject + didn’t (did not) + V1 (base verb). Example: She didn’t study yesterday. “Don’t” makes present negatives, and “wasn’t” is the negative of “be”, used with adjectives, nouns and places (She wasn’t at home).

She didn't ___ English.

Arabic translation: هي لم ___ الإنجليزية.

1. Astudied
2. Bstudy Correct answer
3. Cstudies

Hint: “Didn’t” already shows the past. Does the main verb need to show it again?

Explanation: After “didn’t” the main verb must be in the base form: She didn’t study English. “Didn’t” already shows the past, so “studied” would mark the past twice, and “studies” has the present -s, which is never used after an auxiliary.

The past (V2) of “take” is ___.

Arabic translation: ماضي الفعل take هو ___.

1. Ataked
2. Btook Correct answer
3. Ctaken

Hint: “Take” is an irregular verb. Which form is the simple past (V2)?

Explanation: “Take” is irregular: take (V1) – took (V2) – taken (V3). The past simple uses V2: He took the bus. “Taken” is the past participle, used with “have” or in the passive (I have taken), and “taked” does not exist.

The past (V2) of “come” is ___.

Arabic translation: ماضي الفعل come هو ___.

1. Acomed
2. Bcame Correct answer
3. Ccome

Hint: “Come” is irregular: one vowel changes in the past.

Explanation: “Come” is irregular: come (V1) – came (V2) – come (V3). So the past simple is “came”: She came home late. “Comed” is an over-regularized mistake, and “come” is the base form (or past participle).

The past (V2) of “give” is ___.

Arabic translation: ماضي الفعل give هو ___.

1. Agived
2. Bgave Correct answer
3. Cgiven

Hint: “Give” is irregular. Which form is the simple past (V2)?

Explanation: “Give” is irregular: give – gave – given. The past simple is “gave”: He gave me a present. “Given” is the past participle (I have given), and “gived” does not exist.

The past (V2) of “make” is ___.

Arabic translation: ماضي الفعل make هو ___.

1. Amaked
2. Bmade Correct answer
3. Cmakeed

Hint: “Make” is irregular. Its past form is short.

Explanation: “Make” is irregular: make – made – made. So the past simple is “made”: She made a cake. “Maked” and “makeed” follow the regular -ed rule, which does not apply to this verb.

The past (V2) of “see” is ___.

Arabic translation: ماضي الفعل see هو ___.

1. Aseed
2. Bsaw Correct answer
3. Cseen

Hint: “See” is irregular. Which form is the simple past (V2)?

Explanation: “See” is irregular: see – saw – seen. The past simple is “saw”: I saw a bear. “Seen” is the past participle and needs an auxiliary (I have seen), and “seed” is a different word (a plant seed).

He ___ young.

Arabic translation: هو ___ صغيراً.

1. Awas Correct answer
2. Bwere
3. Cdid

Hint: This describes him in the past. Which past form of “be” goes with “he”?

Explanation: “Young” is an adjective, so we need “be”, and the sentence describes him in the past. With he/she/it the past form is “was”: He was young. “Were” is for you/we/they, and “did” is not used before an adjective.

They ___ happy. (negative, past)

Arabic translation: هم ___ سعداء. (نفي، ماضي)

1. Awasn't
2. Bweren't Correct answer
3. Cdidn't

Hint: “Happy” is an adjective. What is the past negative of “be” with “they”?

Explanation: With an adjective like “happy”, the verb is “be”. The past negative forms are “wasn’t” (I/he/she/it) and “weren’t” (you/we/they), so: They weren’t happy. “Didn’t” is used with ordinary verbs (They didn’t smile), not with adjectives.

“That's amazing!” means ___.

Arabic translation: عبارة «That's amazing!» تعني ___.

1. Aهذا رائع / مذهل! Correct answer
2. Bلست متأكداً
3. Cدعني أفكر

Hint: This expression shows that you are impressed.

Explanation: “That’s amazing!” («هذا رائع / مذهل!») is a response that shows surprise and admiration when someone tells you something interesting (Unit 6B). It helps keep a conversation going. “I’m not sure” («لست متأكداً») shows uncertainty, and “Let me think” («دعني أفكر») asks for time.

Which phrase do we use when we need time to think?

Arabic translation: أي عبارة نستخدمها عندما نحتاج وقتاً للتفكير؟

1. ALet me think. Correct answer
2. BThat's amazing!
3. COh, yeah?

Hint: You need a moment before answering. Which phrase asks for time?

Explanation: “Let me think.” is a phrase you use when you need a moment to think before answering (Unit 6 C21 phrases), like “Just a moment” or “Well, let’s see”. “That’s amazing!” shows admiration, and “Oh, yeah?” shows interest in what the other person said.

Which phrase shows you are NOT sure of the answer?

Arabic translation: أي عبارة تدل على أنك لست متأكداً من الإجابة؟

1. AI'm not sure, but ... Correct answer
2. BReally?
3. CHow did you meet ...?

Hint: Which phrase admits you don’t know exactly, and then gives an opinion?

Explanation: “I’m not sure, but …” is used when you are not certain but still want to give an answer or opinion: I’m not sure, but I think it was in 1964 (Unit 6 C21). “Really?” expresses surprise, and “How did you meet …?” is a question about a past event.

“Anyway, what about you?” means ___.

Arabic translation: عبارة «Anyway, what about you?» تعني ___.

1. Aعلى أي حال، ماذا عنك؟ Correct answer
2. Bكيف تعرفت على ...؟
3. Cماذا تعمل؟

Hint: This phrase changes the topic back to the other person.

Explanation: “Anyway, what about you?” means «على أي حال، ماذا عنك؟». “Anyway” is used to change the subject or return to the main topic, and “what about you?” invites the other person to talk about themselves (Unit 6B). It is a polite way to keep a conversation balanced.

___ the city like?

Arabic translation: ___ كانت المدينة؟ (كيف كانت المدينة)

1. AWhat was Correct answer
2. BHow was
3. CWho was

Hint: The fixed question pattern “___ … like?” asks for a description in the past.

Explanation: The question pattern “What + be + subject + like?” asks someone to describe a person, place or thing. In the past it becomes: What was the city like? (Unit 6A). “How was the city like?” is a common mistake — use either “What was it like?” or “How was it?”, but not both. “Who” asks about people.

A newspaper article about a famous person’s life (Unit 6 writing) is mainly written in the ___.

Arabic translation: المقال الصحفي عن حياة شخص مشهور (كتابة الوحدة 6) يُكتب غالباً بزمن ___.

1. Apast tense Correct answer
2. Bfuture tense
3. Cpresent continuous

Hint: The writing task describes a famous person’s life — events that already happened.

Explanation: The Unit 6 writing task is a newspaper article about a famous person’s life, which reports finished events, so it is mainly written in the past tense (He was born in 1304. He travelled to many countries.). Be careful not to over-generalize: newspapers in general use many tenses, such as the present for current news. The future and the present continuous do not suit the story of a past life.

In a newspaper article, the “Headline” is ___.

Arabic translation: في المقال الصحفي، الـ Headline هو ___.

1. Aالعنوان الجذّاب Correct answer
2. Bالمقدمة المختصرة
3. Cالصورة

Hint: It is the first thing a reader sees, usually in large letters.

Explanation: The headline («العنوان الجذّاب») is the short title at the top of a newspaper article, written in large letters to catch the reader’s attention. It is followed by the introduction, which summarizes the story. A photo is separate from the headline.

What ___ the city like?

Arabic translation: كيف ___ المدينة؟

1. Adid
2. Bwas Correct answer
3. Cwere

Hint: “City” is singular, and the question is about the past.

Explanation: “What + was/were + subject + like?” asks for a description in the past (Unit 6A). “The city” is singular, so we use “was”: What was the city like? “Were” is plural, and “did” is not used in this pattern because “like” here is a preposition, not a verb.

He ___ have a car in the past.

Arabic translation: هو ___ يملك سيارة في الماضي.

1. Adidn't Correct answer
2. Bwasn't
3. Cweren't

Hint: “Have” here means own — it is an ordinary verb, not “be”.

Explanation: “Have” (meaning own) is an ordinary verb, so its past negative is made with “didn’t” + base verb: He didn’t have a car in the past (Unit 6A). “Wasn’t” and “weren’t” are negatives of “be” and cannot be followed by another main verb.

We ___ to Jeddah last year.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ إلى جدة السنة الماضية.

1. Adidn't go Correct answer
2. Bdoesn't go
3. Caren't go

Hint: “Last year” is past. Which negative auxiliary is used in the past simple?

Explanation: “Last year” requires the past simple, and past negatives with ordinary verbs use “didn’t” + base verb: We didn’t go to Jeddah last year. “Doesn’t go” is present and singular, and “aren’t go” mixes “be” with a base verb.

She ___ her friend at a party last summer.

Arabic translation: هي ___ صديقتها في حفلة الصيف الماضي.

1. Ameets
2. Bmet Correct answer
3. Cmeeting

Hint: “Last summer” is past, and “meet” is irregular.

Explanation: “Last summer” requires the past simple. “Meet” is irregular: meet – met – met. So: She met her friend at a party last summer (Unit 6B). “Meets” is present, and “meeting” needs an auxiliary.

Did they ___ TV every day?

Arabic translation: هل كانوا ___ التلفاز كل يوم؟

1. Awatched
2. Bwatch Correct answer
3. Cwatching

Hint: In a “Did” question, the main verb does not show the past.

Explanation: In past simple questions, the auxiliary “Did” shows the past, so the main verb is in the base form: Did they watch TV every day? “Watched” would mark the past twice, and “watching” needs “were”.

I ___ born in 1990.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ في ١٩٩٠.

1. Awere
2. Bwas Correct answer
3. Cdid

Hint: “Born” is used with a past form of “be”. Which one goes with “I”?

Explanation: In English we say “be born”, so the verb we need is a form of “be”. Birth is in the past, and with “I” the past of “be” is “was”: I was born in 1990. “Were” is for you/we/they, and “did” is not used with “born”.

The negative of “She had a car.” is ___.

Arabic translation: نفي جملة «She had a car» هو ___.

1. AShe didn’t had a car.
2. BShe didn’t have a car. Correct answer
3. CShe wasn’t have a car.

Hint: After “didn’t”, which verb form follows?

Explanation: To make “She had a car” negative, we use “didn’t” + base verb: She didn’t have a car. “Didn’t had” marks the past twice, and “wasn’t have” uses the wrong auxiliary, because “have” (own) is an ordinary verb, not a form of “be”.

The negative of “I went to the park.” is ___.

Arabic translation: نفي جملة «I went to the park» هو ___.

1. AI didn't go to the park. Correct answer
2. BI didn't went to the park.
3. CI wasn't go to the park.

Hint: After “didn’t”, use the base form of “go”.

Explanation: The past simple negative is didn’t + base verb, so “I went to the park” becomes “I didn’t go to the park.” “Didn’t went” is a common mistake, and “wasn’t go” mixes “be” with an ordinary verb.

Make a question: people / have / Did / cars?

Arabic translation: كوّن سؤالاً: people / have / Did / cars?

1. ADid people have cars? Correct answer
2. BPeople did have cars?
3. CDid have people cars?

Hint: Past questions: auxiliary + subject + base verb + rest.

Explanation: Yes/no questions in the past simple follow the order: Did + subject + base verb + rest. So the words make: Did people have cars? (Unit 6A). “People did have cars?” is statement order, and “Did have people cars?” puts the verb before the subject.

Make a question: you / meet / How / did / him?

Arabic translation: كوّن سؤالاً: you / meet / How / did / him?

1. AHow you did meet him?
2. BHow did you meet him? Correct answer
3. CDid how you meet him?

Hint: Wh- questions: question word + auxiliary + subject + base verb.

Explanation: Wh- questions in the past simple follow the order: question word + did + subject + base verb + rest. So: How did you meet him? (Unit 6B). “How you did meet him?” puts the subject before the auxiliary, and “Did how you meet him?” puts the question word in the wrong place.

I'm not sure, but I ___ he was there.

Arabic translation: لست متأكداً، لكن ___ أنه كان هناك.

1. Athink Correct answer
2. Bknows
3. Cthinking

Hint: After “I”, the present simple verb has no -s.

Explanation: The phrase “I’m not sure, but I think …” lets you give an opinion while showing uncertainty (Unit 6 C21). With “I”, the present simple verb has no -s: I think. “Knows” has the third-person -s, and “thinking” would need “am” (and “think” is not normally used in the continuous with this meaning).

___. I'll check.

Arabic translation: ___ . سأتحقق.

1. AYou’re welcome
2. BJust a moment Correct answer
3. CThat’s amazing

Hint: Which phrase asks the listener to wait briefly before you check something?

Explanation: “Just a moment.” asks the other person to wait for a short time, for example while you check information or think (Unit 6 C21 phrases). It fits naturally before “I’ll check.” “You’re welcome” is the reply to “Thank you”, and “That’s amazing” expresses admiration, so neither fits the situation.

___ did you meet your friend?

Arabic translation: ___ قابلت صديقك؟

1. AWhat
2. BHow Correct answer
3. CWho

Hint: The question asks about the way two people first met.

Explanation: “How did you meet your friend?” asks about the way or the circumstances in which you met (for example, at university or through a friend), as in Unit 6B: “How did you meet Sara?” — “We met at university.” “What did you meet” and “Who did you meet your friend” are not grammatical questions.

Oh, ___? That's great!

Arabic translation: أوه، ___ ؟ هذا رائع!

1. Areally Correct answer
2. Blet me think
3. Cperhaps

Hint: Which word shows interest and surprise when someone tells you news?

Explanation: “Really?” is a short response that shows interest and surprise, and it encourages the speaker to continue (Unit 6B: “Oh, really?” / “Oh, yeah?”). It fits with “That’s great!”. “Let me think” asks for thinking time, and “perhaps” shows uncertainty, so they don’t respond to news.

A: What do you do? B: I ___ a designer.

Arabic translation: أ: ماذا تعمل؟ ب: أنا ___ مصمم.

1. Aam Correct answer
2. Bwas
3. Cwere

Hint: The question “What do you do?” asks about your job now.

Explanation: “What do you do?” is a present simple question that asks about your job now. So the answer uses the present of “be” with “I”: I am a designer (Unit 6B). “Was” would talk about a past job, and “were” does not go with “I”.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — Japan developed quickly.

Arabic translation: اليابان تطورت بسرعة. (حسب القطعة)

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Read the sentence about the war in the passage.

Explanation: The statement is True. The passage says, “Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly.” The word “but” introduces the positive development after the difficult period.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — Takeshi Honda worked on the bullet train.

Arabic translation: تاكيشي هوندا عمل على مشروع القطار السريع. (حسب القطعة)

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Read the last sentence of the passage.

Explanation: The statement is True. The last sentence of the passage says, “Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” The statement expresses the same information in a shorter form.

The city ___ a lot between 1970 and 2020.

Arabic translation: المدينة ___ كثيراً بين ١٩٧٠ و٢٠٢٠.

1. Achanged Correct answer
2. Bbuilding
3. Ctraffic

Hint: The time is a finished period in the past, so we need a past verb.

Explanation: “Between 1970 and 2020” is a finished period in the past, so the past simple is correct: The city changed a lot. “Change” is regular, so it adds -d. “Building” and “traffic” are nouns (or an -ing form), not past-tense verbs, so the sentence would have no verb. Note: with “in the last 50 years” (a period up to now), British English normally uses the present perfect (has changed), which is outside Units 1–6.

There are tall ___ in the city.

Arabic translation: توجد ___ عالية في المدينة.

1. Abuildings Correct answer
2. Btransport
3. Cpollution

Hint: We need a plural noun for something that can be tall.

Explanation: “Tall” describes things with height, and “There are” needs a plural noun, so “buildings” fits: There are tall buildings in the city. “Transport” and “pollution” are uncountable nouns; they cannot follow “There are” in this way and cannot be “tall”.

The ___ was heavy yesterday.

Arabic translation: ___ كان شديداً أمس.

1. Atraffic Correct answer
2. Bneighbourhood
3. Cbuilding

Hint: What can be “heavy” on the roads?

Explanation: “Heavy traffic” is a common collocation meaning a lot of vehicles on the roads: The traffic was heavy yesterday. A neighbourhood is an area where people live, and a building is a structure; neither is described as “heavy” in this way.

My ___ is near the city centre.

Arabic translation: ___ قريب من وسط المدينة.

1. Aneighbourhood Correct answer
2. Btraffic
3. Cpollution

Hint: The area where you live in a city.

Explanation: A “neighbourhood” is the area of a town or city where you live, so it can be near the city centre: My neighbourhood is near the city centre. “Traffic” and “pollution” are not places where you live.

A: How did you meet Sara? B: We met at ___.

Arabic translation: أ: كيف تعرفت على سارة؟ ب: تقابلنا في ___.

1. Auniversity Correct answer
2. Bdesigner
3. Csport

Hint: We need a place where they met.

Explanation: The question “How did you meet Sara?” asks about the circumstances, and B answers with a place: We met at university (Unit 6B). “At university” (no article) is the usual expression for studying there. “Designer” is a job, and “sport” is an activity.

A: What do you do? B: I'm a ___.

Arabic translation: أ: ماذا تعمل؟ ب: أنا ___.

1. Adesigner Correct answer
2. Buniversity
3. Csport

Hint: “What do you do?” asks about someone’s job.

Explanation: “What do you do?” means “What is your job?”, so the answer must be a job: I’m a designer (Unit 6B). Jobs take “a/an” after “I’m”. “University” is a place, and “sport” is an activity.

According to the writing model, Ibn Battuta was born in ___.

Arabic translation: حسب نموذج الكتابة، وُلد ابن بطوطة في ___.

1. AEgypt
2. BMorocco Correct answer
3. CIndia
4. DChina

Hint: Read the first sentences of the writing model about Ibn Battuta.

Explanation: The study-sheet writing model says, “He was born in 1304 in Morocco”, and this matches standard historical accounts (he was born in Tangier). Egypt, India and China are countries he travelled to later, which the model also mentions — read carefully to separate the birthplace from the places he visited.

According to the writing model, how many countries did Ibn Battuta visit?

Arabic translation: حسب نموذج الكتابة، كم دولة زار ابن بطوطة؟

1. Aabout 14
2. Bmore than 40 Correct answer
3. Cmore than 100

Hint: Find the sentence in the writing model that gives the number of countries.

Explanation: The writing model says, “He visited more than 40 countries.” This figure comes from the model text; historians usually describe his journeys as covering about 40 present-day countries. “About 14” and “more than 100” do not match the text.

How many vowels are there in English?

Arabic translation: كم عدد حروف العلة (Vowels) في الإنجليزية؟

1. A5 Correct answer
2. B21
3. C26

Hint: Recite the alphabet and pick out the letters that are not consonants. How many are there?

Explanation: English has five (5) vowel letters: A, E, I, O and U. All other letters are consonants. The letter Y can sometimes represent a vowel sound (as in “happy” or “my”), but it is usually counted as a consonant. Note that English has more vowel sounds (about 20) than vowel letters.

How many consonants are there in English?

Arabic translation: كم عدد الحروف الساكنة (Consonants) في الإنجليزية؟

1. A5
2. B21 Correct answer
3. C26

Hint: Start with the total number of letters in the alphabet and remove the vowel letters.

Explanation: The English alphabet has 26 letters. Five of them are vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U), so the remaining 21 are consonants (26 − 5 = 21). The option 26 is the whole alphabet, and 5 is the number of vowels.

Which letter is a vowel?

Arabic translation: أي حرف من حروف العلة؟

1. AB
2. BE Correct answer
3. CK
4. DY

Hint: Remember there are five vowel letters. Y is only sometimes used as a vowel sound.

Explanation: E is one of the five vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U). B and K are always consonants. Y is the tricky option: it sometimes represents a vowel sound (as in “gym”), but in the alphabet it is normally classified as a consonant, so it is not the best answer.

stop + ed = ___

Arabic translation: stop + ed = ___

1. Astoped
2. Bstopped Correct answer
3. Cstopd

Hint: “Stop” is one syllable and ends in consonant–vowel–consonant. What happens to the last letter?

Explanation: “Stop” is a one-syllable verb ending in consonant–vowel–consonant (s-t-O-P), so we double the final consonant before adding -ed: stopped. The doubling keeps the vowel sound short. The rule does not apply to verbs ending in w, x or y (snowed, fixed, played) or to words with two vowels before the final consonant (rained).

plan + ing = ___

Arabic translation: plan + ing = ___

1. Aplaning
2. Bplanning Correct answer
3. Cplaneing

Hint: “Plan” ends in consonant–vowel–consonant. Check the doubling rule before -ing.

Explanation: “Plan” is one syllable and ends in one vowel + one consonant, so the n doubles before -ing: planning (Unit 2B spelling rules). Without doubling, “planing” would suggest a different pronunciation. For longer verbs, we double only if the final syllable is stressed: beGIN → beginning, but VISit → visiting and LISten → listening.

play + ed = ___

Arabic translation: play + ed = ___

1. Aplaied
2. Bplayed Correct answer
3. Cplayyed

Hint: “Play” ends in a vowel + y. Do we change the y?

Explanation: When a verb ends in a vowel + y (play, stay, enjoy), we keep the y and add -ed: played. We change y to i only when a consonant comes before the y (study → studied). “Plaied” wrongly changes the y, and “playyed” doubles a letter that is never doubled.

study + ed = ___

Arabic translation: study + ed = ___

1. Astudyed
2. Bstudied Correct answer
3. Cstuddied

Hint: “Study” ends in a consonant + y. What happens to the y?

Explanation: “Study” ends in a consonant + y (d + y), so we change the y to i and add -ed: studied. Note that we keep the y before -ing (studying), because “studiing” would have two i’s. “Studyed” forgets the rule, and “studdied” doubles a consonant that should not be doubled.

swim + ing = ___

Arabic translation: swim + ing = ___

1. Aswiming
2. Bswimming Correct answer
3. Cswimmming

Hint: “Swim” ends in consonant–vowel–consonant. Check the doubling rule.

Explanation: “Swim” is a one-syllable verb ending in one vowel + one consonant (i + m), so we double the m before -ing: swimming. We add only one extra letter, so “swimmming” is wrong, and “swiming” forgets to double. Similar verbs: run → running, sit → sitting, get → getting.

try + ed = ___

Arabic translation: try + ed = ___

1. Atryed
2. Btried Correct answer
3. Ctrid

Hint: “Try” ends in a consonant + y.

Explanation: “Try” ends in a consonant + y (r + y), so the y changes to i before -ed: tried. Other examples: cry → cried, carry → carried. Before -ing, the y stays: trying. “Tryed” keeps the y wrongly, and “trid” drops the letter e.

CVC doubling rule: a one-syllable verb ending in one vowel + one consonant (not w, x or y), e.g. stop, plan, doubles the last consonant before -ing or -ed.

Arabic translation: قاعدة المضاعفة: الفعل ذو المقطع الواحد الذي ينتهي بحرف علة واحد + حرف ساكن واحد (ليس w أو x أو y) مثل stop و plan يُضاعف حرفه الأخير قبل ing أو ed.

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Test the rule with stop, plan and swim. Then think about words ending in w, x or y.

Explanation: The statement is True. A one-syllable verb that ends in one vowel + one consonant doubles that consonant before -ing or -ed: stop → stopping, plan → planned, swim → swimming. The statement correctly excludes w, x and y, which are never doubled (snow → snowing, fix → fixed, play → played). Remember one more condition for longer verbs: they double only when the last syllable is stressed (begin → beginning, but open → opening).

In the word “know”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة know، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Ak Correct answer
2. Bn
3. Cw

Hint: Some words begin with a pair of consonants where only one is pronounced (kn-, wr-, gn-, ps-).

Explanation: A silent letter is written but not pronounced. In words beginning with kn-, the k is silent: know is pronounced /nəʊ/, the same as “no”. Other examples: knife, knee, knock, knowledge. The n is pronounced, and the w is part of the vowel spelling “ow”.

In the word “write”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة write، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Aw Correct answer
2. Br
3. Ct

Hint: Words that start with wr- have a silent letter.

Explanation: When a word begins with wr-, the w is silent: write is pronounced /raɪt/, like “right”. Other examples: wrong, wrap, wrist, writer. The r and t are both pronounced.

In the word “climb”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة climb، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Ac
2. Bl
3. Cb Correct answer

Hint: When the letter m is followed by b at the end of a word, one of them is not pronounced.

Explanation: When a word ends in -mb, the b is silent: climb is pronounced /klaɪm/. Other examples: thumb, comb, bomb, lamb. Note that the c and l in “climb” are pronounced.

In the word “hour”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة hour، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Ah Correct answer
2. Bo
3. Cr

Hint: Does this word start with a consonant sound or a vowel sound? Compare “an hour”.

Explanation: In “hour”, the h is silent, so the word starts with a vowel sound /aʊə/. That is why we say “an hour”, not “a hour”. A few other words also have a silent initial h: honest, honour, heir. The o and r are part of the pronunciation.

In the word “talk”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة talk، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. At
2. Bl Correct answer
3. Ck

Hint: In words like walk, talk and half, one consonant before the final sound is not pronounced.

Explanation: In “talk”, the l is silent: it is pronounced /tɔːk/. The same pattern appears in walk, chalk, half and calm. The t and k are pronounced.

In the word “listen”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة listen، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Al
2. Bs
3. Ct Correct answer

Hint: In some words, a t between s and another sound is not pronounced (castle, whistle).

Explanation: In “listen”, the t is silent: it is pronounced /ˈlɪsn/. The same happens in castle, fasten and whistle, where t comes after s. The l and s are pronounced.

In the word “sign”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة sign، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. As
2. Bg Correct answer
3. Cn

Hint: When a word ends in -gn, one of the two letters is not pronounced.

Explanation: In “sign”, the g is silent: it is pronounced /saɪn/, like “sine”. Other examples: design, foreign, campaign. Interestingly, the g is pronounced in related words such as “signature” and “signal”.

In the word “psychology”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة psychology، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Ap Correct answer
2. Bs
3. Cy

Hint: Words from Greek beginning with ps- have a silent first letter.

Explanation: In words that begin with ps- (from Greek), the p is silent: psychology is pronounced /saɪˈkɒlədʒi/. Other examples: psychologist, psychiatrist. The s and y are pronounced.

In the word “science”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة science، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. As
2. Bc Correct answer
3. Cn

Hint: In “sc” before e or i, the two letters make one sound.

Explanation: When “sc” comes before e, i or y, it is pronounced /s/, so the c is silent: science /ˈsaɪəns/. Other examples: scene, scissors, muscle. The s and n are pronounced.

In the word “night”, the silent letters are ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة night، الحروف التي لا تُنطق هي ___.

1. Agh Correct answer
2. Bni
3. Cht

Hint: The letters -igh- often make a long “i” sound. Which letters are not pronounced?

Explanation: In the spelling -igh-, the letters gh are silent and the i has a long sound /aɪ/: night /naɪt/, light, right, high. So the silent letters in “night” are “gh”. The options “ni” and “ht” are wrong because the n, the i (as a long vowel) and the t are all pronounced.

In the word “Wednesday”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة Wednesday، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. AW
2. Bd Correct answer
3. Cy

Hint: Say the days of the week aloud. In this one, a consonant in the middle disappears.

Explanation: In “Wednesday”, the first d is silent, and the word is usually pronounced /ˈwenzdeɪ/ (two syllables: WENZ-day). The W at the beginning and the y at the end are part of the pronunciation. This silent letter comes from the word’s history (Woden’s day).

In the word “guitar”, the silent letter is ___.

Arabic translation: في كلمة guitar، الحرف الذي لا يُنطق هو ___.

1. Ag
2. Bu Correct answer
3. Cr

Hint: After g, this letter sometimes only shows that the g is “hard”, as in guest.

Explanation: In “guitar”, the u is silent: the word is pronounced /ɡɪˈtɑː/. The u is there to show that the g is “hard” (/ɡ/), not soft like in “giraffe”. Other examples: guest, guess, guide.

The letter E is usually silent at the end of words like “make” and “time”.

Arabic translation: حرف E غالباً لا يُنطق في نهاية كلمات مثل make و time.

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Compare “mak” and “make”, “tim” and “time”. Do you hear the final letter?

Explanation: The statement is True. In words like make, time and home, the final e is not pronounced. Its job is to make the vowel before it “long” — it says its alphabet name: mat → mate, tim → time. This is often called the “magic e” or “silent e”.

Which word has a silent “k”?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة فيها حرف k لا يُنطق؟

1. Akind
2. Bknife Correct answer
3. Ckick

Hint: Look for a word that starts with kn-.

Explanation: In words beginning with kn-, the k is silent. “Knife” is pronounced /naɪf/. In “kind” and “kick”, the k is pronounced normally, because it is not followed by n.

Which word has a silent “b”?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة فيها حرف b لا يُنطق؟

1. Athumb Correct answer
2. Bbad
3. Ctable

Hint: Look for a word that ends in -mb.

Explanation: When a word ends in -mb, the b is silent: thumb /θʌm/. In “bad” and “table”, the b is pronounced because it is not after m at the end of the word.

Which phrase is used to start an introduction?

Arabic translation: أي عبارة تُستخدم لبداية المقدمة؟

1. AIn my opinion, ... Correct answer
2. BTo sum up, ...
3. CFor example, ...

Hint: An introduction often presents your general view of the topic.

Explanation: An introduction presents the topic and often your main opinion, so “In my opinion, …” is a typical opening phrase in the study-sheet writing guide. “To sum up, …” summarizes at the end (conclusion), and “For example, …” supports a point with an example in the body.

Which phrase is used in the conclusion?

Arabic translation: أي عبارة تُستخدم في الخاتمة؟

1. AFirst, ...
2. BIn conclusion, ... Correct answer
3. CNowadays, ...

Hint: Which phrase signals the final paragraph?

Explanation: “In conclusion, …” tells the reader that you are finishing and summarizing your main ideas, so it belongs in the conclusion. “First, …” begins a sequence of points in the body, and “Nowadays, …” is often used to introduce a topic at the beginning.

Which word is used to give an example?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة تُستخدم لإعطاء مثال؟

1. ATherefore
2. BFor instance Correct answer
3. CMoreover

Hint: Which linking word could you replace with “for example” without changing the meaning?

Explanation: “For instance” has the same meaning as “for example”: it introduces an example that supports your point. Many people enjoy outdoor sports. For instance, football is very popular. “Therefore” introduces a result, and “Moreover” adds another point.

Which word is used to show a result?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة تُستخدم لإظهار النتيجة؟

1. ATherefore Correct answer
2. BFurthermore
3. CSuch as

Hint: Which word means “because of this” and introduces a consequence?

Explanation: “Therefore” introduces a result or logical conclusion: The roads were closed; therefore, we were late. It is more formal than “so”. “Furthermore” adds another idea, and “such as” introduces examples within a sentence.

Which word is used to add an idea?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة تُستخدم لإضافة فكرة؟

1. AOverall
2. BMoreover Correct answer
3. CAs a result

Hint: Linking words have different jobs: adding, showing a result, or summarizing.

Explanation: “Moreover” adds an extra idea that supports what you have already said: The flat is cheap. Moreover, it is near the university. “Overall” summarizes, and “As a result” introduces a consequence.

A paragraph can contain any number of sentences.

Arabic translation: الفقرة يمكن أن تحتوي على أي عدد من الجمل.

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Does the Teacher’s Book give a fixed number of sentences for a paragraph?

Explanation: The statement is True. The Teacher’s Book (Writing skills, Unit 2) explains that a paragraph can contain any number of sentences. What makes a good paragraph is not its length but its unity: it should develop one main idea, usually introduced by a topic sentence.

“To sum up” is used in the ___.

Arabic translation: عبارة To sum up تُستخدم في ___.

1. Aintroduction
2. Bbody
3. Cconclusion Correct answer

Hint: “To sum up” means to give a short summary of the main points.

Explanation: “To sum up” means “to summarize” — to repeat the main points briefly at the end. That is why it is used in the conclusion: To sum up, city life has both advantages and disadvantages. It would not be used in the introduction (which presents the topic) or the body (which develops the ideas).

The three parts of a short paragraph are ___.

Arabic translation: الأجزاء الثلاثة للفقرة القصيرة هي ___.

1. AIntroduction – Body – Conclusion Correct answer
2. BTitle – Picture – Caption
3. CQuestion – Answer – Example

Hint: A paragraph has a beginning, a middle and an end.

Explanation: A short paragraph or essay has three parts (Writing skills, Unit 2): the introduction presents the topic, the body develops the ideas with details or examples, and the conclusion summarizes or closes the text. The other options describe parts of a picture caption or a question-and-answer exercise.

“In conclusion, learning English is very important.” belongs to the ___.

Arabic translation: جملة «In conclusion, learning English is very important» تكون في ___.

1. Aintroduction
2. Bbody
3. Cconclusion Correct answer

Hint: Where do we put the sentence that closes the paragraph?

Explanation: The sentence begins with “In conclusion”, a phrase that signals the end of a text, and it restates the main point (learning English is important). So it belongs in the conclusion. The introduction presents the topic and the body develops it with examples.

In a simple paragraph, which phrase can replace “communicating with people”?

Arabic translation: في فقرة بسيطة، أي عبارة يمكن أن تحل محل «communicating with people»؟

1. Atalking to people Correct answer
2. Bgetting a good chance
3. Ctrying new things

Hint: Which simple phrase has the same meaning as “communicating with people”?

Explanation: The study-sheet writing tip suggests replacing difficult words with simpler phrases. “Communicating with people” means exchanging information and ideas with them, and the simplest everyday equivalent is “talking to people”. “Getting a good chance” is a simple way to express “opportunity”, and “trying new things” expresses “gaining experience”.

An easier way to write “opportunity” is ___.

Arabic translation: طريقة أسهل لكتابة opportunity هي ___.

1. Alearn new things
2. Bgood chance Correct answer
3. Ctalk to people

Hint: Which simple phrase is closest to the meaning of “opportunity”?

Explanation: An “opportunity” («فرصة») is a situation that makes it possible to do something good, and “a good chance” has almost the same meaning: This job is a good chance / a great opportunity. The other phrases are simple replacements for “knowledge” (learn new things) and “communication” (talk to people).

In a simple paragraph, which phrase can replace “gaining knowledge”?

Arabic translation: في فقرة بسيطة، أي عبارة يمكن أن تحل محل «gaining knowledge»؟

1. Alearning new things Correct answer
2. Btrying new things
3. Cgetting a good chance

Hint: Which simple phrase means getting new information and skills?

Explanation: “Gaining knowledge” means getting new information and understanding, so the simple phrase “learning new things” expresses the same idea: University helps me learn new things. “Trying new things” is about experience, and “getting a good chance” is about opportunity.

In a simple paragraph, which phrase can replace “gaining new experiences”?

Arabic translation: في فقرة بسيطة، أي عبارة يمكن أن تحل محل «gaining new experiences»؟

1. Atalking to people
2. Btrying new things Correct answer
3. Cgetting a good chance

Hint: Which simple phrase describes doing things you have not done before?

Explanation: “Gaining new experiences” means doing or living through things that are new to you, and the simple phrase “trying new things” expresses the same idea: Travelling helps me try new things. “Talking to people” replaces “communicating”, and “getting a good chance” replaces “opportunity”.

They ___ to the mall yesterday.

Arabic translation: هم ___ إلى المول أمس.

1. Ago
2. Bwent Correct answer
3. Cgoes
4. Dgoing

Hint: The trip to the mall is finished. Remember that “go” does not take -ed.

Explanation: “Yesterday” requires the past simple, and “go” is irregular: go – went – gone. So: They went to the mall yesterday. “Go” and “goes” are present forms, and “going” needs an auxiliary such as “were”.

These days, Sara ___ to university every day.

Arabic translation: هذه الأيام، سارة ___ إلى الجامعة كل يوم.

1. Ago
2. Bwent
3. Cgoes Correct answer
4. Dgoing

Hint: “These days” shows the present, and Sara = she.

Explanation: “These days … every day” describes a regular habit in the present, so we use the present simple. Sara is a third-person singular subject (she), so the verb adds -es: go → goes. “Go” is for I/you/we/they, “went” is past, and “going” would need an auxiliary (is going).

I am ___ to university now.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ إلى الجامعة الآن.

1. Ago
2. Bwent
3. Cgoes
4. Dgoing Correct answer

Hint: “Am” and “now” show an action in progress.

Explanation: The present continuous describes an action in progress now, and it is formed with am/is/are + verb-ing. The sentence already has “am” and the time word “now”, so we need the -ing form: I am going to university now. “Go”, “went” and “goes” cannot follow “am”.

We ___ to school every day.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ إلى المدرسة كل يوم.

1. Ago Correct answer
2. Bgoes
3. Cgoing

Hint: “Every day” is a habit, and the subject is “we”.

Explanation: “Every day” shows a habit, so we use the present simple. With I/you/we/they the verb stays in the base form without -s: We go to school every day. “Goes” is only for he/she/it, and “going” needs “are”.

“Went” is used with ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة went تُستخدم مع ___.

1. AHe / She / It only
2. Ball pronouns Correct answer
3. CI / You / We / They only

Hint: Does the past simple form change with the subject?

Explanation: Past simple verbs have one form for every subject: I went, she went, they went. Only the verb “be” changes in the past (was/were). That is why “went” is used with all pronouns, unlike the present, where “go” becomes “goes” with he/she/it.

“Going” usually comes after ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة going تأتي غالباً بعد ___.

1. Ado / does
2. Bam / is / are Correct answer
3. Cdid

Hint: The present continuous uses a form of “be” + -ing.

Explanation: The -ing form “going” usually follows am/is/are in the present continuous: I am going, she is going, they are going. It does not follow “do/does” or “did”, which are followed by the base verb (Do you go? Did you go?).

Which time expression shows that we need the past simple (e.g. “went”)?

Arabic translation: أي تعبير زمني يدل على أننا نحتاج الماضي البسيط (مثل went)؟

1. Aevery day
2. Blast week Correct answer
3. Cnow

Hint: Which expression points to a finished time in the past?

Explanation: “Last week” refers to a finished period in the past, so it tells us to use the past simple: I went to Jeddah last week. “Now” goes with the present, and “every day” only shows frequency — it can appear in any tense (I go every day / I went every day as a child), so it does not signal the past by itself.

___ she happy yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ هي سعيدة أمس؟

1. ADo
2. BWas Correct answer
3. CDid

Hint: “Happy” is an adjective and “yesterday” is past.

Explanation: Because “happy” is an adjective, the question is formed with “be”, not with “do”. In the past, the form for she is “was”, and in questions it comes before the subject: Was she happy yesterday? “Did she happy” is wrong because there is no ordinary verb, and “Do” is present.

___ you study English every day nowadays?

Arabic translation: ___ تدرس الإنجليزية كل يوم هذه الأيام؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BDoes
3. CDid

Hint: “Nowadays” shows the present, and the subject is “you”.

Explanation: “Nowadays” shows that we are talking about present habits, so we need the present simple. Questions with ordinary verbs use “Do” with I/you/we/they: Do you study English every day nowadays? “Does” is for he/she/it, and “Did” would make a past question, which conflicts with “nowadays”.

They ___ football last Friday.

Arabic translation: هم ___ كرة القدم الجمعة الماضية.

1. Adid played
2. Bwere play
3. Cplayed Correct answer

Hint: This is an affirmative sentence in the past.

Explanation: In an affirmative past simple sentence, regular verbs just add -ed; we do not use “did”: They played football last Friday. “Did played” wrongly adds an auxiliary to a positive statement (and marks the past twice), and “were play” mixes “be” with a base verb.

___ he visit his friend yesterday?

Arabic translation: ___ زار صديقه أمس؟

1. ADoes
2. BDid Correct answer
3. CWere

Hint: “Yesterday” is past and “visit” is an ordinary verb.

Explanation: Questions about past actions with ordinary verbs use “Did” + subject + base verb: Did he visit his friend yesterday? “Does” is present, and “Were” is used with adjectives, nouns or -ing forms, not with “visit”.

We ___ very tired after the exam.

Arabic translation: نحن ___ متعبين جداً بعد الاختبار.

1. Adid
2. Bwere Correct answer
3. Cdo

Hint: “Tired” is an adjective; the time is after the exam (past).

Explanation: “Tired” is an adjective that describes how we felt, so the verb is “be”. The exam is finished, so we use the past: We were very tired after the exam. “Did” and “do” are used with ordinary verbs, not with adjectives.

She didn't ___ her homework.

Arabic translation: هي لم ___ واجبها.

1. Afinished
2. Bfinishes
3. Cfinish Correct answer

Hint: Which option has no tense ending at all?

Explanation: In past simple negatives, “didn’t” carries the past tense, so the main verb stays in the base form: She didn’t finish her homework. “Finished” would mark the past twice, and “finishes” has the present -s.

___ they go to university every day?

Arabic translation: ___ يذهبون إلى الجامعة كل يوم؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BWere
3. CDoes

Hint: “Every day” describes a present habit, and the subject is “they”.

Explanation: “Every day” shows a habit, which is expressed in the present simple. Questions with ordinary verbs use “Do” with they: Do they go to university every day? “Does” is singular, and “Were” is a form of “be” that cannot be followed by the base verb “go”.

He ___ English last night.

Arabic translation: هو ___ الإنجليزية الليلة الماضية.

1. Astudy
2. Bstudied Correct answer
3. Cdid studied

Hint: This is an affirmative sentence about “last night”.

Explanation: “Last night” requires the past simple, and in an affirmative sentence regular verbs add -ed. “Study” ends in consonant + y, so y changes to i: studied. So: He studied English last night. “Did studied” is wrong in a normal positive statement, and “study” is present.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AI did played.
2. BI played. Correct answer

Hint: Can “did” be followed by a past-tense verb?

Explanation: “I played.” is correct: in a normal affirmative past simple sentence, a regular verb simply takes -ed. “I did played” is always wrong, because after “did” the main verb must be in the base form. Note that “did” can appear in an affirmative sentence for emphasis — “I did play!” (= I really played) — but even then the verb is “play”, not “played”.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AShe didn't watched.
2. BShe didn't watch. Correct answer

Hint: Count how many times each sentence shows the past tense.

Explanation: “She didn’t watch.” is correct. The negative auxiliary “didn’t” already carries the past tense, so the main verb must be in the base form. “She didn’t watched” marks the past twice, which is a very common learner error.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. ADoes she likes coffee?
2. BDoes she like coffee? Correct answer

Hint: After “does”, does the main verb keep its -s?

Explanation: “Does she like coffee?” is correct. In present simple questions with he/she/it, the -s moves from the main verb to the auxiliary (do → does), so the main verb returns to its base form. “Does she likes” shows the third person twice, which is incorrect. The same applies in negatives: She doesn’t like coffee.

In past simple negatives and questions with did, the main verb does not take -ed (e.g. She didn’t watch. / Did you watch?).

Arabic translation: في نفي وأسئلة الماضي البسيط مع did، لا يأخذ الفعل الرئيسي ed (مثل She didn’t watch / Did you watch?).

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Look at the examples: “She didn’t watch.” and “Did you watch?”. Where is the past tense shown?

Explanation: The statement is True. In past simple negatives and questions with “did”, the auxiliary carries the past tense, so the main verb stays in the base form: She didn’t watch; Did you watch? In affirmative sentences, by contrast, regular verbs take -ed (She watched). One exception to remember: subject questions do not use “did”, so the verb keeps -ed (Who watched the match?).

was / were are used with ___.

Arabic translation: was / were تُستخدم مع ___.

1. Aordinary verbs like play
2. Bdescriptions, states and places in the past Correct answer
3. Cthe future

Hint: “Was/were” are past forms of am/is/are. What kinds of words follow “be”?

Explanation: “Was” and “were” are the past forms of “be”, so they are used for descriptions, states and places in the past — wherever “be” is used: with descriptions (She was tired), states (They were happy), jobs (He was a teacher) and places (We were at home). Ordinary verbs like “play” use “did” in questions and negatives (Did you play?), not “was/were”. And “was/were” refer to the past, not the future.

“She doesn't work here.” is a ___ sentence.

Arabic translation: جملة «She doesn't work here» جملة ___.

1. Aaffirmative
2. Bnegative Correct answer
3. Cquestion

Hint: Look closely at the auxiliary: does it contain “not”?

Explanation: The sentence contains “doesn’t” (does not), which makes it negative. Present simple negatives with he/she/it follow the pattern: subject + doesn’t + base verb. An affirmative sentence would be “She works here”, and a question would be “Does she work here?”.

“Did they play football?” is a ___ sentence.

Arabic translation: جملة «Did they play football?» جملة ___.

1. Aaffirmative
2. Bnegative
3. Cquestion Correct answer

Hint: How does the sentence start and end?

Explanation: The sentence starts with the auxiliary “Did” before the subject and ends with a question mark, so it is a question. A past affirmative version would be “They played football”, and a negative would be “They didn’t play football”.

“They play football.” is a ___ sentence.

Arabic translation: جملة «They play football.» جملة ___.

1. Aaffirmative Correct answer
2. Bnegative
3. Cquestion

Hint: Is there a negative word or a question mark?

Explanation: “They play football.” is affirmative: it states something positively, with no negative word (not, don’t) and no question form. The negative is “They don’t play football”, and the question is “Do they play football?”.

The negative of “I like English.” is ___.

Arabic translation: نفي جملة «I like English» هو ___.

1. AI not like English.
2. BI don't like English. Correct answer
3. CI doesn't like English.

Hint: Which negative auxiliary goes with “I” in the present simple?

Explanation: Present simple negatives use don’t/doesn’t + base verb. With I/you/we/they the auxiliary is “don’t”: I don’t like English. “I not like” has no auxiliary, and “doesn’t” is only for he/she/it.

The question form of “She works here.” is ___.

Arabic translation: صيغة السؤال من «She works here» هي ___.

1. ADoes she works here?
2. BDoes she work here? Correct answer
3. CDo she work here?

Hint: Present questions with “she” use an auxiliary. What happens to the main verb?

Explanation: To make a question from “She works here”, we add “Does” before the subject and return the verb to its base form: Does she work here? “Does she works” keeps the -s twice, and “Do she” uses the wrong auxiliary for a third-person singular subject.

The opposite of happy is ___.

Arabic translation: عكس كلمة happy هو ___.

1. Abig
2. Bsad Correct answer
3. Chot
4. Dnew

Hint: Think of the feeling that is the opposite of happiness.

Explanation: “Sad” is the opposite (antonym) of “happy”: both describe feelings. The other options are adjectives too, but they have their own opposites: big ↔ small, hot ↔ cold, new ↔ old.

Which time word goes with Present Continuous?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة زمنية تأتي مع المضارع المستمر؟

1. Aright now Correct answer
2. Blast year
3. Cusually

Hint: The present continuous describes actions happening at this moment.

Explanation: The present continuous (am/is/are + -ing) describes actions in progress at the moment of speaking, so it often goes with “now”, “right now” or “at the moment”: I am studying right now. “Last year” refers to the past, and “usually” describes habits (present simple).

Which time word goes with Present Simple?

Arabic translation: أي كلمة زمنية تأتي مع المضارع البسيط؟

1. Aago
2. Bsometimes Correct answer
3. Ctomorrow

Hint: The present simple is used for habits and how often things happen.

Explanation: The present simple describes habits and routines, so it often goes with frequency adverbs such as always, usually, sometimes and never: I sometimes walk to work. “Ago” is used with the past simple (two days ago), and “tomorrow” refers to the future.

They ___ last week.

Arabic translation: هم ___ الأسبوع الماضي.

1. Atravel
2. Btravelled Correct answer
3. Cwill travel

Hint: “Last week” is past. Check the spelling of the past form.

Explanation: “Last week” requires the past simple, so the answer is “travelled”. British English, used in the Teacher’s Book, doubles the l before -ed (travel → travelled); American English uses “traveled”. Both spellings are correct in their own variety, so this is not a spelling error. “Will travel” is future and does not match “last week”.

Nowadays, she ___ to school every day.

Arabic translation: هذه الأيام، هي ___ إلى المدرسة كل يوم.

1. Ago
2. Bgoes Correct answer
3. Cwent

Hint: “Nowadays … every day” describes a present habit, and the subject is “she”.

Explanation: “Nowadays” and “every day” show a present habit, so we use the present simple. With he/she/it, “go” adds -es: Nowadays, she goes to school every day. “Go” is the form for I/you/we/they, and “went” is past, which conflicts with “nowadays”.

She ___ yesterday.

Arabic translation: هي ___ أمس.

1. Ago
2. Bgoes
3. Cwent Correct answer

Hint: “Yesterday” tells you the tense. Which option is the irregular past form?

Explanation: “Yesterday” requires the past simple, and the past of “go” is irregular: went. So: She went yesterday. “Go” and “goes” are present forms.

Did she ___ to the gym?

Arabic translation: هل ___ إلى النادي؟

1. Ago Correct answer
2. Bwent
3. Cgoes

Hint: Which form of “go” do we use when “Did” starts the question?

Explanation: In past simple questions, “Did” shows the past, so the main verb is in the base form: Did she go to the gym? “Went” would mark the past twice, and “goes” has the present -s.

She didn't ___ to the gym.

Arabic translation: هي لم ___ إلى النادي.

1. Ago Correct answer
2. Bwent
3. Cgoes

Hint: Two of these options show the tense or person again after “didn’t”. Which one does not?

Explanation: In past simple negatives, “didn’t” shows the past, so the main verb is in the base form: She didn’t go to the gym. “Didn’t went” and “didn’t goes” are common mistakes.

Which sentence is correct?

Arabic translation: أي جملة صحيحة؟

1. AShe wents to school.
2. BShe went to school. Correct answer

Hint: Past simple forms never take the third-person -s.

Explanation: “She went to school.” is correct. The third-person -s is used only in the present simple (she goes). In the past simple, the verb has one form for every subject, so “wents” does not exist.

He ___ to work at 8 o'clock.

Arabic translation: هو ___ إلى العمل الساعة ٨.

1. Ago
2. Bgoes Correct answer

Hint: A routine (at 8 o’clock) and the subject “he”.

Explanation: This sentence describes a daily routine, so we use the present simple. With he/she/it, verbs ending in -o add -es: go → goes. So: He goes to work at 8 o’clock. “Go” is used with I/you/we/they.

Ahmed works hard because he wants to ___ his English.

Arabic translation: أحمد يعمل بجد لأنه يريد أن ___ لغته الإنجليزية.

1. Aimprove Correct answer
2. Btravel
3. Csleep
4. Ddrive

Hint: He wants his English to become better.

Explanation: “Improve” means to make something better: He works hard because he wants to improve his English. It is followed directly by its object (improve your skills). “Travel”, “sleep” and “drive” do not take “his English” as a logical object.

I usually ___ breakfast at 7 a.m.

Arabic translation: عادةً ___ الإفطار الساعة ٧ صباحاً.

1. Ahave Correct answer
2. Bgo
3. Cplay
4. Ddo

Hint: Which verb is used in the expression “___ breakfast” (eat a meal)?

Explanation: In English, we “have” meals: have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner. This is a fixed collocation, so “I usually have breakfast at 7 a.m.” is correct. We do not “go”, “play” or “do” breakfast.

What does the word “expensive” mean?

Arabic translation: ما معنى كلمة expensive؟

1. Aرخيص
2. Bغالي Correct answer
3. Cسريع
4. Dسهل

Hint: The opposite of “cheap”.

Explanation: “Expensive” means costing a lot of money («غالي»): an expensive car. Its opposite is “cheap” («رخيص»). The other options mean “fast” and “easy”, which are not related to price.

You should study hard to pass the ___.

Arabic translation: يجب أن تدرس بجد لتنجح في ___.

1. Aexam Correct answer
2. Bbreakfast
3. Choliday
4. Dtraffic

Hint: What do you pass by studying hard?

Explanation: We “pass an exam” when we succeed in it, and we study hard to do this. “Pass” and “fail” are the usual verbs with “exam”. Breakfast, a holiday and traffic are not things you pass by studying.

___ you work in Riyadh?

Arabic translation: ___ تعمل في الرياض؟

1. ADo Correct answer
2. BDoes
3. CAre

Hint: “Work” is an ordinary verb, the subject is “you”, and the sentence is in the present.

Explanation: “Work” is an ordinary verb, so the present simple question needs “Do” or “Does”. With “you” we use “Do”: Do you work in Riyadh? “Does” is for he/she/it, and “Are” would need an -ing form (Are you working?).

She ___ in a bank.

Arabic translation: هي ___ في بنك.

1. Awork
2. Bworks Correct answer
3. Cworking

Hint: The subject is “she”, and the sentence describes a fact in the present.

Explanation: The sentence states a fact about her job, so we use the present simple. With he/she/it, the verb adds -s: She works in a bank. “Work” is for I/you/we/they, and “working” needs an auxiliary (She is working).

I always ___ to the gym.

Arabic translation: أنا دائماً ___ إلى النادي.

1. Ago Correct answer
2. Bgoes
3. Cgoing

Hint: “Always” describes a habit, and the subject is “I”.

Explanation: Frequency adverbs like “always” and “usually” go with the present simple and come before the main verb. With “I”, the verb has no -s: I always go to the gym. “Goes” is for he/she/it, and “going” needs “am”.

We meet ___ 5 o'clock.

Arabic translation: نلتقي ___ الساعة الخامسة.

1. Ain
2. Bon
3. Cat Correct answer

Hint: Which preposition do we use with clock times?

Explanation: We use “at” with exact clock times: at 5 o’clock, at 7.30, at midnight. “On” is used with days and dates (on Monday), and “in” with months, years and parts of the day (in March, in the morning).

My birthday is ___ March.

Arabic translation: عيد ميلادي ___ شهر مارس.

1. Ain Correct answer
2. Bon
3. Cat

Hint: Is March a day or a longer period?

Explanation: Months take “in” because they are longer periods: My birthday is in March. If we add a day, it becomes a date and takes “on”: My birthday is on 12th March. “At” is for clock times.

Why don't we ___ a picnic?

Arabic translation: لماذا لا ___ نزهة؟

1. Aorganize Correct answer
2. Borganizing
3. Cto organize

Hint: A suggestion with “Why don’t we …?” is followed by which verb form?

Explanation: “Why don’t we …?” is a suggestion phrase (Unit 2A), and after the auxiliary “don’t” we use the base form of the verb: Why don’t we organize a picnic? “Organizing” follows “How about …?”, and “to organize” is not used after an auxiliary.

How about ___ to Jeddah?

Arabic translation: ما رأيك ___ إلى جدة؟

1. Ago
2. Bgoes
3. Cgoing Correct answer

Hint: In suggestions, “How about” works like a preposition.

Explanation: “How about …?” ends with the preposition “about”, so it is followed by an -ing form (or a noun): How about going to Jeddah? “Go” would follow “Why don’t we …?” or “Let’s …”, and “goes” is a present-simple form that cannot follow a preposition.

I ___ my friends tomorrow.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ أصدقائي غداً.

1. Ameeting
2. Bam meeting Correct answer
3. Cmeets

Hint: “Tomorrow” is a future arrangement. Which tense do we use for fixed plans (Unit 2B)?

Explanation: Unit 2B teaches the present continuous (am/is/are + -ing) for future plans and arrangements: I am meeting my friends tomorrow. The time word “tomorrow” shows that the action is in the future. “Meeting” alone has no auxiliary, and “meets” does not agree with “I”.

She ___ visiting her family next week.

Arabic translation: هي ___ تزور عائلتها الأسبوع القادم. (خطة مستقبلية)

1. Ais Correct answer
2. Bare
3. Cgoing to

Hint: The structure is be + -ing for a future plan. Which form of “be” goes with “she”?

Explanation: The present continuous for future plans needs am/is/are before the -ing verb. With “she” we use “is”: She is visiting her family next week. “Are” does not match “she”, and “going to” cannot be followed by an -ing form (we say “going to visit”).

That sounds like a good ___.

Arabic translation: هذه تبدو ___ جيدة.

1. Aidea Correct answer
2. Bideas
3. Cidear

Hint: After “a good”, do we need a singular or plural noun?

Explanation: The article “a” is used only with a singular countable noun, so “a good” must be followed by a singular noun: That sounds like a good idea. “Ideas” is plural and cannot follow “a”, and “idear” is a spelling mistake (it reflects how some speakers pronounce the word).

This phone is ___ than that one.

Arabic translation: هذا الجوال ___ من ذاك.

1. Acheap
2. Bcheaper Correct answer
3. Ccheapest

Hint: “Than” shows a comparison, and “cheap” is a short adjective.

Explanation: “Than that one” shows a comparison between two phones, so we need the comparative. One-syllable adjectives add -er: cheap → cheaper. “Cheap” cannot be followed by “than”, and “cheapest” is the superlative (for three or more).

There are ___ products here than in the other store.

Arabic translation: توجد منتجات ___ هنا مما في المتجر الآخر.

1. Aless
2. Bfewer Correct answer
3. Clittle

Hint: “Products” is countable, and “than” shows a comparison between two stores.

Explanation: The sentence compares the number of products in two stores (“than in the other store”), and “products” is a plural countable noun. The comparative quantifier for countable nouns is “fewer”: There are fewer products here than in the other store. “Less” is used with uncountable nouns (less space), and “little” is not a comparative.

This is ___ expensive than that one.

Arabic translation: هذا ___ تكلفةً من ذاك.

1. Aless Correct answer
2. Bfewer
3. Cfew

Hint: “Expensive” is an adjective, and “than” shows a comparison.

Explanation: “Less” can come before an adjective to form a comparison meaning “not as … as”: This is less expensive than that one (= cheaper). It is the opposite of “more expensive”. “Fewer” and “few” are quantifiers that must be followed by plural countable nouns (fewer products), so they can never come before an adjective like “expensive”.

My car is ___ than yours.

Arabic translation: سيارتي ___ من سيارتك.

1. Afast
2. Bfaster Correct answer
3. Cfastest

Hint: “Than” shows a comparison, and “fast” is a short adjective.

Explanation: The comparison with “than yours” requires the comparative form, and one-syllable adjectives add -er: fast → faster. So: My car is faster than yours. “Fast” is the basic adjective, and “fastest” is the superlative.

This is the ___ option in the shop.

Arabic translation: هذا هو الخيار ___ في المحل.

1. Amore cheap
2. Bcheaper than
3. Ccheapest Correct answer

Hint: “In the shop” compares this option with all the others.

Explanation: “In the shop” compares this option with all the options available, so we need the superlative: This is the cheapest option in the shop. Short adjectives add -est. “More cheap” is incorrect because “cheap” is a short adjective, and “cheaper than” would need a second item after “than”.

This is the ___ hotel in the city.

Arabic translation: هذا هو الفندق ___ في المدينة.

1. Amore comfortable than
2. Bmost comfortable Correct answer
3. Ccomfortablest

Hint: “In the city” makes this a superlative, and “comfortable” is a long adjective.

Explanation: “In the city” compares one hotel with all the hotels in the city, so we need the superlative. “Comfortable” is a long adjective, so it uses “most”: the most comfortable hotel. “Comfortablest” is incorrect, and “more comfortable than” is a comparative that needs a second item.

Which is the ___ option of the three?

Arabic translation: أي الخيارات الثلاثة هو ___ ؟

1. Amost good
2. Bbetter than
3. Cbest Correct answer

Hint: “Of the three” compares more than two things, and “good” is irregular.

Explanation: “Of the three” compares three things, so we need the superlative. “Good” is irregular: good – better – best. So: Which is the best option of the three? “Most good” is incorrect, and “better than” compares only two things.

It has the ___ facilities in the city.

Arabic translation: فيه ___ المرافق في المدينة.

1. Amodernest
2. Bmore modern than
3. Cmost modern Correct answer

Hint: “In the city” shows a superlative, and “modern” uses “most”.

Explanation: “In the city” shows that we are comparing with all the facilities, so we need the superlative with “the most”: It has the most modern facilities in the city (Unit 4A). “Modern” has two syllables and normally takes “more/most”; “modernest” is not standard, and “more modern than” is a comparative.

I think this is the ___ choice of all.

Arabic translation: أعتقد أن هذا ___ خيار على الإطلاق.

1. Amost good
2. Bbetter than
3. Cbest Correct answer

Hint: “Of all” shows a superlative. “Good” is irregular.

Explanation: “Of all” shows that this choice is compared with every other choice, so we need the superlative. The superlative of “good” is irregular: the best. So: I think this is the best choice of all. “Most good” is wrong, and “better than” is used for two things.

This is the ___ room in the house.

Arabic translation: هذه ___ غرفة في البيت.

1. Amore small
2. Bsmaller than
3. Csmallest Correct answer

Hint: “In the house” compares all the rooms. “Small” is a short adjective.

Explanation: “In the house” compares this room with all the others, so we need the superlative. “Small” is a one-syllable adjective, so it adds -est: the smallest room in the house (Unit 4A). “More small” is incorrect, and “smaller than” is a comparative.

I ___ to Dubai last year.

Arabic translation: أنا ___ إلى دبي السنة الماضية.

1. Ago
2. Bwent Correct answer
3. Cgone

Hint: “Last year” is past, and “go” is irregular.

Explanation: “Last year” requires the past simple, and the past of “go” is irregular: go – went – gone. So: I went to Dubai last year. “Go” is present, and “gone” is the past participle, which needs “have” (I have gone).

She ___ her job in 2020.

Arabic translation: هي ___ وظيفتها في ٢٠٢٠.

1. Aleave
2. Bleaves
3. Cleft Correct answer

Hint: “In 2020” is a finished past time, and “leave” is irregular.

Explanation: “In 2020” is a finished past time, so we need the past simple. “Leave” is irregular: leave – left – left. So: She left her job in 2020. “Leave” and “leaves” are present forms.

After I finished school, I ___ work.

Arabic translation: بعد أن أنهيت المدرسة، ___ العمل.

1. Astart
2. Bstarted Correct answer
3. Cstarts

Hint: The first clause (finished) is past. The second event happened after it.

Explanation: Both events happened in the past, one after the other, so both verbs are in the past simple: After I finished school, I started work. “Start” is regular, so it adds -ed. “Start” and “starts” are present forms and do not match the past time clause.

When did they ___?

Arabic translation: متى ___ هم؟

1. Aarrive Correct answer
2. Barrives
3. Carriving

Hint: After “did” in a question, which verb form follows?

Explanation: In past simple questions, “did” carries the past tense, so the main verb is in the base form: When did they arrive? “Arrives” has the present -s, and “arriving” is an -ing form; neither can follow “did”.

What did you ___ yesterday?

Arabic translation: ماذا ___ أمس؟

1. Ado Correct answer
2. Bdid
3. Cdoes

Hint: “Did” is already the auxiliary. The main verb also happens to be “do”.

Explanation: “What did you do yesterday?” contains two forms of “do”. The first, “did”, is the auxiliary that makes the past question; the second, “do”, is the main verb (meaning “perform an activity”) in its base form. “Did” cannot be repeated as the main verb, and “does” is present.

Did you ___ to school yesterday?

Arabic translation: هل ___ إلى المدرسة أمس؟

1. Awent
2. Bgo Correct answer
3. Cgoing

Hint: “Did” already carries the past. Which form of “go” is left for the main verb?

Explanation: Past simple questions follow the pattern Did + subject + base verb: Did you go to school yesterday? Because “did” already shows the past, the main verb cannot be “went”. “Going” is also wrong after “did”.

She ___ happy yesterday.

Arabic translation: هي ___ سعيدة أمس.

1. Awere
2. Bwas Correct answer
3. Cdid

Hint: “Happy” is an adjective and “yesterday” is past. Which form of “be” goes with “she”?

Explanation: An adjective like “happy” follows the verb “be”. “Yesterday” requires the past, and with “she” the past form of “be” is “was”: She was happy yesterday. “Were” is for you/we/they, and “did” is not used before an adjective.

They ___ students in 1960.

Arabic translation: هم ___ طلاباً في ١٩٦٠.

1. Awas
2. Bwere Correct answer
3. Cdid

Hint: “In 1960” is past and “students” is a noun. Which form of “be” goes with “they”?

Explanation: “Students” is a noun describing “they”, so the verb is “be”, and “in 1960” requires the past. With “they” the past form is “were”: They were students in 1960. “Was” is singular, and “did” is used with ordinary verbs.

The negative of “They lived in Riyadh.” is “They didn't live in Riyadh.”

Arabic translation: نفي «They lived in Riyadh» هو «They didn't live in Riyadh».

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Check the auxiliary and the form of the main verb in the negative sentence.

Explanation: The statement is True. To make a past simple sentence negative, we add “didn’t” and change the main verb back to the base form: They lived → They didn’t live. The past tense is now shown by “didn’t”, so “lived” loses its -ed.

___ you visit Jeddah last year?

Arabic translation: ___ زرت جدة السنة الماضية؟

1. ADid Correct answer
2. BWas
3. CWere

Hint: “Visit” is an ordinary verb and “last year” is past.

Explanation: “Visit” is an ordinary verb, and “last year” requires the past, so the question uses “Did” + subject + base verb: Did you visit Jeddah last year? “Was” and “Were” are forms of “be”; they are used with adjectives, nouns or places (Were you in Jeddah last year?), not with a base verb.

___ the roads busy then?

Arabic translation: ___ الطرق مزدحمة وقتها؟

1. ADid
2. BWas
3. CWere Correct answer

Hint: “Roads” is plural, “busy” is an adjective, and “then” refers to the past.

Explanation: “Busy” is an adjective, so the verb is “be”. “Then” refers to the past, and “the roads” is plural, so we need “were”: Were the roads busy then? (Unit 6A). “Was” is singular, and “Did” is used with ordinary verbs (Did the roads have …?).

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — The Olympic Games were in Tokyo in 1960.

Arabic translation: الألعاب الأولمبية أقيمت في طوكيو عام ١٩٦٠. (حسب القطعة)

1. ATrue
2. BFalse Correct answer

Hint: Compare the year in the statement with the year in the passage.

Explanation: The statement is False. The passage says, “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964”, so the year 1960 is wrong. In true/false reading questions, check each detail — names, numbers and dates — against the text.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — The bullet train took four hours.

Arabic translation: القطار السريع استغرق أربع ساعات. (حسب القطعة)

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Look for the journey time from Tokyo to Osaka in the passage.

Explanation: The statement is True. The passage says the bullet train “took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka”. The statement paraphrases this information, which is common in reading questions.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — Life after the war was easy.

Arabic translation: الحياة بعد الحرب كانت سهلة. (حسب القطعة)

1. ATrue
2. BFalse Correct answer

Hint: Find the sentence about life after the war.

Explanation: The statement is False. The passage says, “Life in Japan after the war was not easy”. The statement says the opposite, so it does not match the text.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — What is the main idea of the text?

Arabic translation: ما الفكرة الرئيسية للقطعة؟

1. ARiyadh's history
2. BA travel plan
3. CJapan's development Correct answer
4. DShopping centre

Hint: Which country is the passage about, and what happened to it?

Explanation: The main idea is the general topic that connects all the sentences. The passage mentions the Olympic Games, the bullet train, difficult life after the war and fast development — all about Japan’s development. Riyadh, travel plans and shopping centres are not mentioned at all.

Read: “The Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964. It was a very important event for Japan. The bullet train (Shinkansen) was introduced and it took only four hours from Tokyo to Osaka. Life in Japan after the war was not easy, but the country developed quickly. Takeshi Honda was one of the engineers who worked on the bullet train project.” — How did people travel between cities?

Arabic translation: كيف كان الناس يتنقلون بين المدن؟ (حسب القطعة)

1. ABy car
2. BBy plane
3. CBy train Correct answer
4. DBy bus

Hint: Which form of transport does the passage mention?

Explanation: The passage mentions only one form of transport: the bullet train, which went from Tokyo to Osaka in four hours. So the answer is “By train”. Cars, planes and buses are not mentioned, so we cannot choose them from the text.

Choose the correct meaning: skyscraper

Arabic translation: اختر المعنى الصحيح: skyscraper

1. Aطريق
2. Bناطحة سحاب Correct answer
3. Cحديقة

Hint: Break the word into two parts: sky + scraper.

Explanation: A “skyscraper” («ناطحة سحاب») is a very tall building. The word combines “sky” and “scraper” (something that scrapes or touches), because the building seems to touch the sky. The other options mean “road” and “garden/park”.

There is a lot of ___ in the city.

Arabic translation: يوجد الكثير من ___ في المدينة.

1. Apollution Correct answer
2. Bpopulation
3. Cdevelop

Hint: Which noun is something bad in the air of a city?

Explanation: “Pollution” is uncountable, so it fits “a lot of ___”, and it describes something harmful in the city’s air or water. “Population” is the number of people, which we describe as “large”, not “a lot of population”, and “develop” is a verb, so it cannot follow “a lot of”.

People use public ___ in the city.

Arabic translation: الناس يستخدمون ___ العامة في المدينة.

1. Atransport Correct answer
2. Bbuilding
3. Ccentre

Hint: Buses and trains are examples of what?

Explanation: “Public transport” is the system of buses, trains and other vehicles that everyone can use, and it is uncountable: People use public transport in the city. “Building” and “centre” are countable nouns that would need an article or plural form here, and they do not describe a way of travelling.

Choose the odd one out: bus – train – hotel – car

Arabic translation: اختر الكلمة المختلفة: bus – train – hotel – car

1. Abus
2. Btrain
3. Chotel Correct answer
4. Dcar

Hint: Three of the words are ways to travel.

Explanation: “Odd one out” questions ask you to find the word that does not belong to the same group. Bus, train and car are all forms of transport, but a hotel is a place where you stay, so “hotel” is the odd one out.

What does “spectacular” mean?

Arabic translation: ما معنى كلمة spectacular؟

1. Aتقليدي
2. Bمُبهر / مذهل Correct answer
3. Cصعب

Hint: The word was used to describe the fireworks at a festival (Unit 1A).

Explanation: “Spectacular” («مُبهر / مذهل») means very impressive and exciting to look at. In Unit 1A, it describes a fireworks display at a festival. The other options mean “traditional” («تقليدي») and “difficult” («صعب»).

Does he ___ festivals?

Arabic translation: هل هو ___ بالمهرجانات؟

1. Acelebrates
2. Bcelebrate Correct answer
3. Ccelebrating

Hint: The -s is already on “Does”. Should the main verb have it too?

Explanation: In present simple questions, “Does” already shows the third person singular, so the main verb is in the base form: Does he celebrate festivals? “Celebrates” repeats the -s, and “celebrating” needs a form of “be”.

The festival takes place ___ September.

Arabic translation: المهرجان يُقام ___ سبتمبر.

1. Aon
2. Bin Correct answer
3. Cfrom

Hint: September is a month.

Explanation: Months take the preposition “in”: The festival takes place in September. If a specific date is given, we use “on” (on 5th September). “From” would need an end point (from September to October).

She ___ festivals every year.

Arabic translation: هي ___ بالمهرجانات كل سنة.

1. Acelebrate
2. Bcelebrates Correct answer
3. Ccelebrating

Hint: “Every year” is a habit, and the subject is “she”.

Explanation: “Every year” describes a repeated action, so we use the present simple. With she, the verb adds -s: She celebrates festivals every year. “Celebrate” is for I/you/we/they, and “celebrating” needs “is”.

Does he ___ English?

Arabic translation: هل هو ___ الإنجليزية؟

1. Aspeaks
2. Bspeak Correct answer
3. Cspeaking

Hint: Compare “He speaks English.” with the question form. What happens to “speaks”?

Explanation: After the auxiliary “Does”, the main verb is always in its base form: Does he speak English? “Speaks” keeps the -s wrongly, and “speaking” would need “Is” (Is he speaking English?).

A person who sings is a ___.

Arabic translation: الشخص الذي يغني هو ___.

1. Asinger Correct answer
2. Bfestival
3. Cparade

Hint: Which suffix turns a verb into a person who does it?

Explanation: Word families (Unit 1A) show how words are formed from the same root. Adding -er to a verb often makes a noun for the person who does the action: sing → singer, dance → dancer, teach → teacher. A festival and a parade are events, not people.

The fireworks are ___. They look amazing.

Arabic translation: الألعاب النارية ___. تبدو مذهلة.

1. Augly
2. Bspectacular Correct answer
3. Cboring

Hint: The second sentence praises the fireworks.

Explanation: The second sentence (“They look amazing”) tells us the adjective must be very positive. “Spectacular” means very impressive to look at, so it fits. “Ugly” and “boring” are negative and would contradict the second sentence.

We say “___ 4 July” but “___ July”.

Arabic translation: نقول «___ 4 July» لكن «___ July».

1. Ain / on
2. Bon / in Correct answer
3. Cat / in

Hint: A full date is treated like a day; a month alone is a longer period.

Explanation: A full date (4 July) refers to one particular day, so it takes “on”: on 4 July. A month by itself is a longer period, so it takes “in”: in July. The order in the sentence is therefore “on / in”.

A person who dances is a ___.

Arabic translation: الشخص الذي يرقص هو ___.

1. Adance
2. Bdancer Correct answer
3. Cdancing

Hint: A person who does an action often takes the suffix -er.

Explanation: The person who dances is a “dancer” (verb + -er). In the same word family, “dance” is the verb or the activity (Let’s dance), and “dancing” is the activity used as a noun (Dancing is fun).

The activity of singing is ___.

Arabic translation: نشاط الغناء هو ___.

1. Asong
2. Bsinger
3. Csinging Correct answer

Hint: The activity (not the person) is formed with -ing.

Explanation: The name of an activity is often the -ing form of the verb: singing, dancing, swimming. So the activity of singing is “singing”. A “singer” is the person, and a “song” is the piece of music that is sung.

How do we read “25th December”?

Arabic translation: كيف نقرأ «25th December»؟

1. Athe twenty-five of December
2. Bthe twenty-fifth of December Correct answer
3. Cthe twenty-fiveth December

Hint: Dates use ordinal numbers (first, second, third …).

Explanation: In English we read dates with ordinal numbers (first, second, third, fourth … twenty-fifth). In British English we usually say “the twenty-fifth of December” (Unit 1A). “Twenty-five” is a cardinal number, and “twenty-fiveth” is misspelled.

“Independence Day” means ___.

Arabic translation: Independence Day تعني ___.

1. Aعيد الشكر
2. Bيوم الاستقلال Correct answer
3. Cذكرى سنوية

Hint: Unit 1 mentions this holiday on 4 July in the USA.

Explanation: “Independence Day” («يوم الاستقلال») is a national holiday that celebrates the day a country became independent. Unit 1A describes American Independence Day on 4 July. The other options mean Thanksgiving («عيد الشكر») and anniversary («ذكرى سنوية»).

“Patriotic” means ___.

Arabic translation: كلمة patriotic تعني ___.

1. Aوطني / محب للوطن Correct answer
2. Bملوّن
3. Cضخم جداً

Hint: Unit 1 used this word to describe the music at the 4 July celebration.

Explanation: “Patriotic” («وطني / محب للوطن») describes a feeling of love and support for your country. In Unit 1A, patriotic music is played on Independence Day. The other options mean “colourful” («ملوّن») and “massive” («ضخم جداً»).

Read: “Ahmed lives in Riyadh. He works at a hospital. He goes to work by car. He enjoys his job because he likes helping people. On weekends, he usually visits his family or goes to the gym.” — Where does Ahmed work?

Arabic translation: أين يعمل أحمد؟ (حسب القطعة)

1. AAt a school
2. BAt a hospital Correct answer
3. CAt a hotel
4. DAt a restaurant

Hint: Find the sentence with “works” in the passage.

Explanation: The passage says directly, “He works at a hospital.” This is a detail question: find the key word from the question (work) in the text and read the sentence around it. A school, a hotel and a restaurant are not mentioned.

Read: “Ahmed lives in Riyadh. He works at a hospital. He goes to work by car. He enjoys his job because he likes helping people. On weekends, he usually visits his family or goes to the gym.” — How does Ahmed go to work?

Arabic translation: كيف يذهب أحمد إلى العمل؟ (حسب القطعة)

1. ABy bus
2. BBy car Correct answer
3. COn foot

Hint: Find the sentence that says how Ahmed goes to work.

Explanation: The passage states, “He goes to work by car.” We use “by” + transport without an article (by car, by bus), but “on foot” for walking. Buses and walking are not mentioned in the text.

Read: “Ahmed lives in Riyadh. He works at a hospital. He goes to work by car. He enjoys his job because he likes helping people. On weekends, he usually visits his family or goes to the gym.” — Why does Ahmed enjoy his job?

Arabic translation: لماذا يستمتع أحمد بعمله؟ (حسب القطعة)

1. ABecause he likes helping people Correct answer
2. BBecause it is near
3. CBecause of the money

Hint: Find the reason given after “because” in the passage.

Explanation: The passage says, “He enjoys his job because he likes helping people.” “Why” questions usually ask for a reason, so look for “because” in the text. The distance to work and the money are not mentioned, so those options have no evidence.

According to the study-sheet reading strategy, what should you do first?

Arabic translation: حسب استراتيجية القراءة في الملخص، ماذا تفعل أولاً؟

1. Aread the questions first Correct answer
2. Bread every word slowly
3. Cguess the answer

Hint: The study sheet’s strategy helps you know what to look for before you read.

Explanation: The study-sheet reading strategy says: read the questions first, so that you know what information to look for when you read the passage. It is a useful exam technique, not a fixed grammatical rule — some readers prefer to skim the text quickly first. Reading every word slowly wastes time, and guessing ignores the text.

“Which is NOT mentioned?” asks for something ___ in the text.

Arabic translation: سؤال «Which is NOT mentioned?» يبحث عن شيء ___ في القطعة.

1. Amentioned
2. Bnot mentioned Correct answer

Hint: Pay attention to the word NOT in the question.

Explanation: In a “Which is NOT mentioned?” question, three options appear in the text and one does not. Your task is to find the one that is not mentioned. Students often lose marks by choosing an option that is in the text, so always underline NOT.

In reading-comprehension questions, you should base your answer on the passage, not on your own background knowledge.

Arabic translation: في أسئلة فهم المقروء، اعتمد في إجابتك على النص، لا على معلوماتك السابقة.

1. ATrue Correct answer
2. BFalse

Hint: Where should the evidence for your answer come from?

Explanation: The statement is True. In reading-comprehension questions, the correct answer must be supported by the passage. Your general knowledge can help you understand the topic, but if the text says something different, the text decides the answer.
