Exercises
Help me to understand meanings or grammatical features about my questions. (I use 2 books with exercises)
1) We are looking for more CDs with good music. - I should make this sentence Present Perfet - We have looked for more CDs. - I think, it's strange sentence. Don't you agree with me? I mean that better If I tell - We have found more CDs with good music. Or I am wrong? May be I confused with meanings?
2)The key to my test was - We have just talked about it. - I thiught that better if I say told. Is it big difference? Is it important? Is it mistake?
3) Tell me, why there is Present Perfect? - It has been impossible for her to feel at home here. Why not this - It is impossible for her to feel at home here.
4) In key was said that I should say - Have only had a peace of cake? - Why is wrong - Have you had only a piece of cake?
5) There is big confusing. Neutral sentence looks as - You (to go) to plant tomatoes this year? - Why is this Continous as in the key? I thought, that it is not ended period of time, that's why I should use Perfect.
6) I am having dinner with my friends at the moment. - Is there need an article "a" before "dinner"? why?
7) We've always had a dog and a cat. - Why Present Perfect? always - isn't it indicator of Present Simple?
8) And now they are sitting in the living room and talking about them. - Why them, not themselves?
9) Who - what should I use after - has or have?
10) Tell me, am I right when write this - I have just been at dantist and am filling myself much more better. - How to make this more natural?
11) Tell me, am I right when write this - Why isn't he having dinner? He is still talking with his friend by phone. - How to make this more natural?
12) Tell me, am I right when write this - Where has dissapeared that lazy cat? - How to make this more natural?
13) Dan has grown a beard. - Why "a beard", not "the"? Because in context author several times told us about beard of Dan. - Dan didn't have a beard before. Now he has a beard. Dan has grown a beard.
14) Why can't I say - Have you already found a place to live? - Why should I say - Have you found a place to live yet?
15) How is more natural and why? - (about newspaper) I haven't read it today! - or - I have not read one today.
16) How is more natural and why? - It hasn't snowed a lot this winter. - or - It hasn't snowed much this winter.
Please tell me why it is going on? :))
