Pregunta 1

Bloom: Remember

Reviewing the present simple across the year.

Which sentence is correct?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) My sister studies in Medellín.

  • A) My sister studying in Medellín.The -ing form needs an auxiliary such as is to form a verb, so it cannot stand alone here.
  • B) My sister study in Medellín.The base form study does not agree with a third person singular subject, which requires studies.
  • C) My sister studies in Medellín.The third person singular of the present simple is studies, which agrees with the subject my sister.
  • D) My sister is study in Medellín.After the auxiliary is the bare infinitive is required, so the verb should be study without the -ing form.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "My sister studies in Medellín". The present simple with the third person -s is the most frequently tested structure across the whole year, from routines through hobbies to the final review, and it is worth one item here at the confident end of the scale. Including it early in the bundle lets the student settle into the review with something secure before the harder tenses and readings come.

Pregunta 2

Bloom: Remember

Reviewing the vocabulary of the final period.

You want to know how much something costs. Which question do you use?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) How much is it?

  • A) How much is it?How much asks for a price, and that is the information the question is requesting.
  • B) How many is it?How many asks for a number of things, and a price is not expressed as a count.
  • C) Where is it?Where asks for a location, which tells the listener nothing about the cost.
  • D) What is it?What asks for the name or nature of a thing rather than its price.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "How much is it?". The question words were introduced in the direction and shopping weeks and are used in every transaction a student will ever have in English, so they are worth consolidating before the year ends. Choosing the question word that matches the information you actually want is a small habit that prevents a surprisingly large number of misunderstandings.

Pregunta 3

Bloom: Understand

Reading a short review text with several tenses in it.

Read: "Last year Camila lived in Ibagué. This year she lives in Bogotá and she is studying engineering." Where does Camila live now?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) In Bogotá.

  • A) In Ibagué.Ibagué is where she lived last year, which is a different period from the present.
  • B) The text does not say.The second sentence states her present city directly, so the answer is given in the text.
  • C) In Ibagué and Bogotá.She cannot live in two cities at once, and the text marks one as the past and the other as the present.
  • D) In Bogotá.The present simple lives in the second sentence places her in Bogotá now, and the past tense marks Ibagué as over.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "In Bogotá". Two tenses in two sentences mark two different periods, and a reader who ignores the tense markers will answer with the past information. Tracking which facts belong to now and which belonged to before is the central reading skill of this review, and it is what every longer text in the exam depends on.

Using the present continuous at the right moment.

Which sentence reports an action that is happening at this moment?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) The students are taking a test right now.

  • A) The students take a test every day.This describes a repeated routine rather than an action happening at this particular moment.
  • B) The students are taking a test right now.The present continuous with are taking reports an activity under way, and right now confirms the timing.
  • C) The students took a test yesterday.The past simple places the test before now, so it does not report the current moment.
  • D) The students are take a test right now.After the auxiliary are the -ing form is required, so the verb should be taking rather than take.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "The students are taking a test right now". Choosing between the present tenses is a judgement about time rather than a rule to recite, and the time expression is the evidence a student should be using. The distractor that is a perfectly correct sentence about a different time is the most useful of the four, because it shows both forms working and the time expression choosing between them.

Bloom: Apply

Using there is to describe what a room contains.

Which sentence correctly says that there are three books on the shelf?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) There are three books on the shelf.

  • A) There are three books on the shelf.The plural subject three books takes the plural verb are in the existential construction.
  • B) There is three books on the shelf.The verb is singular while the subject is plural, so the two do not agree with each other.
  • C) There are three book on the shelf.After the number three the noun must be plural, so the singular book is not the form this needs.
  • D) It is three books on the shelf.Saying it names an existing thing rather than what a place contains, which is what there is expresses.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "There are three books on the shelf". The existential there with the verb to be runs through the whole year's material about rooms, furniture and quantities, and it is worth consolidating in its plural form where the agreement is most often wrong. Each distractor breaks a different part of the same structure, so ruling them out teaches the construction as a whole rather than as a phrase.

Pregunta 6

Bloom: Apply

Choosing between a countable and an uncountable noun in a shopping sentence.

Which sentence correctly uses the present simple with a third person singular subject?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) I need two apples and some bread.

  • A) I need many apple and much bread.Many goes with countable plurals and much with mass nouns, so the two are the other way round here.
  • B) I need two bread and some apples.The two nouns have the opposite requirements, since bread cannot take a number and apples can.
  • C) I need two breads and some apple.Bread has no plural in English and apples should be plural after some in this usage, so both nouns are wrong here.
  • D) I need two apples and some bread.Apples is countable and takes a number, while bread is a mass noun and takes some.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "I need two apples and some bread". The countable and uncountable rule applies to every noun a student buys or eats, and pairing one of each in a single sentence is the most efficient way to practise the contrast. A sentence that has to be right about two different noun types at once is exactly the demand the final review is preparing the student for.

Pregunta 7

Bloom: Apply

Producing a coherent short answer in a real exchange.

A classmate asks: "What do you do after school?" Which answer is most useful?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) I usually play football and then I do my homework.

  • A) I go home.This answers where rather than what, and it names no activity that would be done there.
  • B) I usually play football and then I do my homework.This names two activities, one social and one academic, and the adverb usually marks it as a routine.
  • C) After school I am tired.This describes a state rather than an activity, and it does not say what the speaker does.
  • D) Sometimes I do something.The word something names no activity at all, so the listener learns nothing about the routine.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "I usually play football and then I do my homework". A useful answer to what do you do needs actual activities, and the sequence of then is what makes it sound like a real description of an evening. The distractors each fail by answering a different question, by being vague or by describing a state, so choosing correctly means attending to exactly what was asked.

Pregunta 8

Bloom: Analyze

Reading a text and separating what it states from what it does not.

Read: "My uncle lives in Pereira. He visits us every year and he always brings coffee." What does the text state?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) The uncle brings coffee when he visits.

  • A) The uncle brings coffee when he visits.The text says he visits every year and always brings coffee, which links the two facts as stated.
  • B) The uncle lives in Medellín.The text names Pereira as the town, and Medellín appears nowhere in it.
  • C) The uncle lives with the speaker.The text says he visits, which means he does not live there, so this contradicts the text.
  • D) The uncle never brings anything.The word always states the opposite of never, so this directly contradicts the text.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "The uncle brings coffee when he visits". One distractor invents a place, one reverses the meaning of visits and one negates an always, so each fails in a different way and the student has to check rather than pattern-match. Separating what a text says from what it merely permits is the discipline the comprehension section rewards most consistently.

Pregunta 9

Bloom: Analyze

Finding the single error in a longer sentence.

A student writes: "Yesterday I go to the cinema with my cousins." What is the problem?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) The verb is in the present simple for a past event.

  • A) The preposition with is wrong before a family word.With is the correct preposition for naming the people someone does something with.
  • B) The plural cousins is incorrect.Cousins is correctly plural because the student is going with more than one cousin.
  • C) Cinema needs an article in English.Cinema is used without an article in this general reference, so nothing is missing there.
  • 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 went rather than go.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is "The verb is in the present simple for a past event". The sentence has one fault and the three distractors each name something that is already correct, which is the pattern a student needs to recognise before a final exam. Isolating a single error in a sentence that is otherwise sound is the last and most useful habit this review can build.

Pregunta 10

Bloom: Evaluate

Deciding which paragraph is the best introduction to a school presentation.

You must introduce yourself and your hobbies in a class presentation. Which opening is best?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) My name is Julián and I am eleven years old. In my free time I play chess and I also like drawing.

  • A) Things that people like are very interesting to me.This is a general reflection rather than an introduction, and it names no hobby of the speaker.
  • B) Everyone here is eleven years old and we all like things.This speaks about everybody rather than about the speaker, so it introduces nobody in particular.
  • C) My name is Julián and I am eleven years old. In my free time I play chess and I also like drawing.This gives the basic personal details and then the hobbies, so the class knows who he is and what he does.
  • D) My name is Julián but I do not like to talk about myself in public.This refuses the task instead of completing it, and the class learns nothing about his hobbies.

💡 Explicación

The correct answer is the one that gives the personal details and then the hobbies. An introduction has a known structure, name, age and interests, and judging whether a paragraph actually performs that structure is the evaluative task. The three distractors each substitute a general statement or a refusal for the personal information the task requires, which is the mistake students most often make under time pressure.
