police suit
dress
Note that it’s ‘a uniform’, not ‘an uniform’. The rule about when to use ‘a’ or ‘an’ applies to the pronunciation of the
word, not the spelling.
Argh! This noise is giving me a _________.
headpain
headhurt
headouch
headache
The three incorrect answers are words that don’t exist. Note that ‘headache’ is one word – like ‘toothache’ and ‘earache’
– but ‘stomach ache’ is two words!
The weather was great – it was really _________.
sun
sunshine
sunny
strong sun
In English, we often use ‘it is/was’ + adjective to describe the weather. The incorrect answers here are not adjectives.
He studies maths at university. He’s a _________.
student
professor
pupil
studier
‘Student’ and ‘pupil’ are similar, but a pupil is at school, while a student is at university.
I don’t _________ going out tonight.
like
have mood to
want to
feel like
‘Feel like’ means ‘want to’, but you can’t say ‘want to’ here because the next word is in the -ing form.
Your father’s brother’s daughter is your _________.
cousina
sister
niece
cousin
Your cousins are your uncle/aunt’s children. Cousins can be boys or girls.
I _________ swimming every Saturday morning.
play
do
go
play
For most sports (and some other activities) that end with -ing, use the verb ‘go’, e.g. ‘go skiing’, ‘go sailing’, ‘go
shopping’.
Excuse me, I think you’ve _________ a mistake in our bill.
done
had
made
given
Many learners find it difficult to remember when to use ‘make’ and ‘do’. This is an example of collocation – where
certain word combinations are right and others are not. You can find out more in this free lesson.
I’ve got all the data. Now I just need to _________ the answer.
make out
think out
count out
work out
‘Work out’ in this context means ‘calculate’. If you ‘work out’ in a gym, it means ‘follow an exercise routine’.
Fruit and vegetables are healthy. = Fruit and vegetables are _________.
good for health
benefit for you
good for you
healthsome
You can also say that something is ‘bad for you’ – e.g. drinking too many fizzy drinks.
What time do you go to _________ every day?
workplace
work
office
job
‘Go to work’ is a fixed expression. If you wanted to use the other options, you’d need another word, e.g. ‘go to your
office’.
I’m a bit lost. Can you tell me how to _________ to the university?
find
go
reach
get
When you’re asking for directions, ‘get to’ is the correct verb. You could also use ‘find’ without the word ‘to’. However,
we don’t use ‘go to’ in this context, even though it involves going somewhere!
Her hair isn’t completely straight – it’s slightly _________.
bent
curl
waved
wavy
You can’t use the other three words to describe hair.
Our teacher doesn’t _________ us use mobile phones in class.

let
allow
make
forbid
‘Allow’ means the same as ‘let’ but you can’t use it here because you’d need an extra word: ‘our teacher doesn’t allow
us to use…’
What time is it?

It’s 6.15 – a _________ past six.
fourth
fifteen
quarter
half
A quarter = fifteen minutes

We don’t say “fifteen past…” or “fifteen to…”
apartment –> flat

elevator –> lift
gasoline –> _________
fuel
coal
petrol
oil
These are pairs of words which have the same meaning, but the words on the left are US English, and the words on
the right are UK English.
imagine –> imaginative

rely –> reliable
ambition –> _________
ambitious
ambitiable
ambitionful
ambitiative
The words on the right are adjectives. The endings -ive, -able, -ful and -ous are all common for adjectives, but you
have to learn which one is correct in each case!
It’s a good idea, but it’s _________ that the boss will agree with you.
likely
unprobably
improbably
unlikely
‘Likely’/’unlikely’ are adjectives, even though they end in -ly and look like adverbs.
We nearly missed the plane—we were only just _________.
in time
in time for
timely
on time
‘On time’ = punctual; ‘in time’ = with enough time before something happens
It’s very easy to confuse these two phrases!
He’s so _________! I’m not _________ in anything he says.
bored … interested
boring … interesting
bored … interesting
boring … interested
‘Interested’ and ‘interesting’ are both adjectives. ‘Interested’ is how you feel. ‘Interesting’ is how something or someone
makes you feel. There are many pairs of adjectives like this, one with an -ed ending, and one with an -ing ending.
tired –> exhausted

small –> tiny
angry –> _________
annoyed
irritated
furious
vexed
These are pairs of adjectives with similar meanings, where one adjective has a ‘regular’ meaning and the other has a
‘strong’ meaning. So ‘exhausted’ is the strong form of ‘tired’ and ‘furious’ is the strong form of ‘angry’.
You can’t smoke here – please _________ your cigarette.
put up with
put away
put down
put out
‘Put out’ = extinguish. You’d also see this verb if there’s a big fire: ‘it took four hours to put the fire out’.
‘Happy’ is the _________ of ‘sad’.
oppositive
opposed
opposite
oppose
‘Oppositive’ is an unusual word – it’s an adjective to describe two people or groups that oppose each other (that is,
have opposite opinions); the other two wrong answers are forms of the verb ‘oppose’.
Let’s go to a restaurant for dinner tonight = Let’s _________ tonight.
eat out
eat outside
eat outwardly
eat away
‘Eat out’ = eat in a restaurant

‘Eat outside’ = eat in the open air, for example on a balcony, not necessarily in public
It’s the _________ building in the city.
greatest
tallest
fattest
highest
Buildings and people can be tall, most other things are high (planes, mountains, ceilings, etc.)

‘Resign’ = quit, leave your job because you want to do other work or study. ‘Retire’ = stop working, usually at an older
age (60+)

an only child
an alone child

a single child
If you don’t have any brothers or sisters, you can describe yourself as ‘an only child’, even when you’re an adult.
Every time I wear something white, I _________ coffee or orange juice or something on it.
spill
pour
let
drop
‘Spill’ is like ‘pour’, but if you spill something, it’s usually by accident. ‘Pour’ means you are in control and you decide
to do it.
‘Spill’ and ‘drop’ are also similar ideas – you don’t decide to do them. However, you spill a liquid and drop a solid
object.
I’ve been so busy all week. I don’t want to do anything at the weekend – I’ll just stay at home and _________.
make a rest
have a relax
take it easy
make it easy
This is an example of collocation. The other answers appear to mean the same thing, but nobody would say those
combinations of words.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are _________.
meals
food
foodtimes
eatings
In some parts of the UK, the evening meal is called ‘tea’ – or if it’s eaten very late, ‘supper’.
friendly –> unfriendly

honest –> dishonest
polite –> _________
impolite
dispolite
inpolite
unpolite
Different prefixes are used to make opposites of adjectives: ‘un-‘, ‘in-‘, ‘im-‘, ‘dis-‘ etc. The most common prefix is ‘un-‘,
but there aren’t clear rules for which prefix to use. You’ll need to learn the right opposite prefix for each adjective!
At the weekend I _________ with some friends – we went for a curry, then had a couple of drinks.
played
went for fun
went out
enjoyed
‘Go out’ can mean ‘leave the house’, but it is often used to mean ‘do something with friends’. The sentence ‘I played
with some friends’ would make sense if a small child was saying it, but not in this context of eating and drinking.
Do you want a _________ or a return ticket?
single
lonely
outbound
one-journey
Many speakers wouldn’t say ‘ticket’ in this context: ‘a single to London Paddington’ is sufficient.

a building
an apartment
a village
a home
In British English, an ‘apartment’ is also called a ‘flat’.

traffic time
peak hour
rush hour
peak time
‘Peak-time’ can be used as an adjective, e.g. to describe train services or tickets. However, the only correct compound
noun here is ‘rush hour’. The other two combinations don’t exist.
What size do you need: small, medium or _________?
large
giant
huge
big
‘Small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’ are the common sizes for clothes and coffee!

‘Especially’ = more than others
