Matching a sport to the equipment it needs.
Which piece of equipment do you need to play table tennis?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)a racket
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "a racket". Pairing a sport with the equipment it needs is the most reliable way to learn both sets of words, and it works because the equipment is something a student can picture being used. Football is a particularly important sport in Colombia, so distinguishing its vocabulary from the racket sports is a practical need rather than a detail.

Respuesta correcta: A)a racket
A)a racketA racket is the paddle used to hit the ball in table tennis, so it is the equipment that sport requires.
B)a footballA football is the ball used in soccer, not the implement struck in table tennis.
C)a ropeA rope is the equipment for tug of war, and it has no role in table tennis.
D)a netA net is used in volleyball and tennis, and table tennis is played with a very small or no net at all.
💡 Explicación

Choosing the correct article with a piece of sports equipment.
Which sentence is correct?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)She plays with a racket every Saturday.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She plays with a racket every Saturday". Articles on countable equipment are worth settling because the student will meet them on every description of a sport across this week and the next. Getting the article right at the same time as the preposition with keeps the sentence production work manageable rather than overwhelming.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)She plays with a racket every Saturday.
A)She plays with the racket of every Saturday.The article is wrong for a first mention and the phrase of every Saturday does not belong in this construction.
B)She plays with racket every Saturday.A single countable object needs the article, so leaving it out makes the sentence incomplete.
C)She plays with a rackets every Saturday.A single racket takes the singular, and the plural rackets would need a word such as two in front of it.
D)She plays with a racket every Saturday.The first mention of a single piece of equipment takes the indefinite article, and racket begins with a consonant sound.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She plays with a racket every Saturday". Articles on countable equipment are worth settling because the student will meet them on every description of a sport across this week and the next. Getting the article right at the same time as the preposition with keeps the sentence production work manageable rather than overwhelming.
Pregunta 3
Pregunta 3 · D4Bloom: Understand
Reading a short text about a school sports day.
Read: "In the 400 metres, runners run around the track. The winner is the first to cross the finish line." What is the 400 metres?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)A race over a distance of 400 metres.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "A race over a distance of 400 metres". The text never uses the word race, so the student has to build the definition from the two facts given, the distance and the finishing line. Assembling a meaning from separate pieces of a text rather than looking for a single keyword is the comprehension move that the exam's longer items depend on.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)A race over a distance of 400 metres.
A)A jump of 400 metres.The text describes running around a track rather than jumping a distance.
B)A race over a distance of 400 metres.The text describes running a stated distance and finishing first, which together define the event as a 400 metre race.
C)A team game with 400 players.Nothing in the text mentions teams or a number of players, only a distance and a finish.
D)A swimming event.The text describes a run on a track, which is the opposite of a swimming event.
💡 Explicación

Using the present simple to talk about a regular sporting activity.
Which sentence correctly says that a student plays football on Mondays?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)She plays football on Mondays.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She plays football on Mondays". Talking about when a sport is practised is almost always about a regular routine, and the present simple is the form that carries that. Each distractor substitutes a different tense or a wrong verb form, so the student has to know not just that the present simple is needed but why each alternative fails here.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)She plays football on Mondays.
A)She plays football on Mondays.The present simple with a day name describes a regular weekly activity, which is what the sentence states.
B)She is playing football on Mondays.The present continuous would suggest something happening now rather than a settled weekly habit.
C)She played football on Mondays.The past simple reports a finished event, and this is a repeated routine rather than a single past occasion.
D)She play football on Mondays.The subject is third person singular, so the verb has to be plays rather than the base form play.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She plays football on Mondays". Talking about when a sport is practised is almost always about a regular routine, and the present simple is the form that carries that. Each distractor substitutes a different tense or a wrong verb form, so the student has to know not just that the present simple is needed but why each alternative fails here.

Choosing the word for the people who take part in a sport.
What do you call the people who play a sport?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)players
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "players". A school sports unit brings four groups of people close together, and confusing the participants with the coaches, the judges or the supporters is the standard confusion. Naming each role correctly lets a student read a match report or a results table, which is where this vocabulary is most often needed.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)players
A)judgesJudges decide the result of a competition, while the participants are the ones who perform the sport.
B)coachesCoaches are the people who train and instruct the team, not the ones who compete in it.
C)playersPlayers is the general word for the people who take part in a sport, whichever sport it happens to be.
D)fansFans are the supporters in the crowd, not the people who take part in the sport itself.

Supporting a friend who has lost a match.
A friend just lost a football match. Which response is most appropriate?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)That's a pity! You played well and you should try again next week.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "That's a pity! You played well and you should try again next week". Reacting appropriately to bad news is a language task as well as a social one, and the useful response combines recognition of the feeling, a specific comment and an encouragement. Each distractor fails in a different way, by dismissing, insulting or ignoring, so the item measures judgement about what a response should do.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)That's a pity! You played well and you should try again next week.
A)I do not understand football.This shifts the conversation to the listener's own knowledge and ignores the friend's disappointment entirely.
B)It does not matter, football is not important.This dismisses something the speaker clearly cared about, and it tells the friend their feelings do not count.
C)You are a bad player.This is a direct personal insult rather than a comment on the result, and it would hurt the friend.
D)That's a pity! You played well and you should try again next week.This acknowledges the disappointment, says something specific about the performance and looks forward, which is what a friend says.

Using can or cannot to talk about ability in a sport.
Which sentence says that a student is not able to swim?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)She can't swim.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She can't swim". Ability in English belongs to the modal can, which has its own negative form and takes no auxiliary do or does, and that is the part students get wrong. Fixing the modal pattern here means they can describe what they and others can and cannot do in any sport without falling back on a main verb.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)She can't swim.
A)She don't swim.Do not is used with the main verb for negatives such as does not play, but ability takes the modal can.
B)She can't swim.Can't is the contracted form of cannot, and it expresses the lack of ability the sentence describes.
C)She not can swim.A modal verb like cannot is not preceded by not in English, and the word order here is wrong.
D)She doesn't can swim.Two auxiliaries cannot be used together in this way, since ability is expressed with can on its own.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She can't swim". Ability in English belongs to the modal can, which has its own negative form and takes no auxiliary do or does, and that is the part students get wrong.

Working out the result of a sports day from a short text.
Read: "In the high jump, Valentina cleared 1.60 metres. Juliana cleared 1.70 metres. The bar was set at 1.60 metres." Who performed better in the high jump?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)Juliana, because she cleared a higher height.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Juliana, because she cleared a higher height". Comparing two measurements and knowing which direction counts as better in the event is a real sport-specific skill, and the direction of comparison is different depending on the sport. Recognising that a high jump rewards more height while a race rewards less time is the kind of detail that makes sports texts genuinely readable.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)Juliana, because she cleared a higher height.
A)Juliana, because she cleared a higher height.1.70 is higher than 1.60, so clearing more height is the better performance in a high jump.
B)Valentina, because she cleared the bar first.Both cleared the bar, and the bar was cleared by both of them rather than by one alone.
C)They performed the same.The two heights are different, so the performances cannot be identical.
D)The text does not say who did better.Both heights are given, and in the high jump the greater height determines the better performance.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Juliana, because she cleared a higher height". Comparing two measurements and knowing which direction counts as better in the event is a real sport-specific skill, and the direction of comparison is different depending on the sport.

Finding the error in a sentence about playing a sport.
A student writes: "Yesterday I play football with my friends." What is the problem?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)The verb is in the present simple for a past event.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The verb is in the present simple for a past event". The time marker yesterday is the only clue needed, and the sentence fails because the verb does not match it, which is a clean single-fault item. Recognising that a time marker dictates the verb form is the mechanism behind almost every tense error in English, so it is worth isolating on its own.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)The verb is in the present simple for a past event.
A)The preposition is wrong before a sport.With my friends is the correct way to name who someone plays with, so the preposition is not at fault.
B)A verb is needed after yesterday.Yesterday is an adverb of time and does not take a verb after it in English.
C)The plural friends is wrong.Friends is correctly plural because the student played with more than one person.
D)The verb is in the present simple for a past event.Yesterday places the event in the past, so the verb has to be played rather than play.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The verb is in the present simple for a past event". The time marker yesterday is the only clue needed, and the sentence fails because the verb does not match it, which is a clean single-fault item.

Choosing the best way to report the result of a school match.
Your class won a football match 3 goals to 1. Which report is the best?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)Our class beat the other team three goals to one in the final match of the school tournament.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is the one that reports who won, the score and where the match fitted. A report has a fixed set of information, and a student who gives a feeling or a partial detail has not reported the event. Knowing what a sports report must contain is directly useful for reading match summaries, which appear often in the comprehension sections of English exams.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)Our class beat the other team three goals to one in the final match of the school tournament.
A)Three goals to one was the score of the match.This gives the score but does not say who won, so the essential fact is missing.
B)The match was good and we liked it.This is an opinion about the match without reporting the result that a report must contain.
C)Our class beat the other team three goals to one in the final match of the school tournament.This gives the result, the score and the context, which is everything a short report of a match needs.
D)We played football in the school tournament.This says the match happened and names the sport, but it leaves out the result entirely.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is the one that reports who won, the score and where the match fitted. A report has a fixed set of information, and a student who gives a feeling or a partial detail has not reported the event.
