  • LOL Elen.....yes you are right........next time I will just text it myself........copy and paste does not work well it seems.......soooooo sorry

  • Hello Paula and thanks for the interesting excercise! My answers are:

    1 c

    2 c

    3 d

    4 c   It seems that she/he is trying on the shoes this moment, so I used present continuous. If she/he was speaking generally, I would use simple present. Although, I am wondering if in such situation we can use the word "fit" in simple present. 

    5 a

    6 d

    7 c

    8 b

    9 b

    10 d

    11 b

    12 d

    13 c

    14 c Paula, I think you accidentally put the blank in the wrong place. I think it is more correct to say like this: When Martin _______ the car, he took it out for a drive. Tell me if I am wrong.

    15 a

    16 b
