Review P2 — Inglés Grado 8, Colombia

Bloom: Remember

Reviewing advice.

You ________ study tonight if you want to pass the math test tomorrow.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) should

A) must toIncorrect. "Must" does not take "to".
B) shouldn'tIncorrect. Illogical advice for someone who wants to pass.
C) are shouldThis stacks two verbs with 'are' in front of the modal. A modal such as 'should' is already the complete verb, so nothing can precede it here.
D) shouldCorrect! "Should" is the appropriate modal for giving advice.

💡 Explicación

Recordamos que "should" se utiliza para dar consejos y va seguido de la forma base del verbo.

Bloom: Remember

Reviewing life experiences.

I ________ never ________ a horse before. Is it difficult?

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) have / ridden

A) did / rideIncorrect. Experiences use Present Perfect.
B) have / riddenCorrect! Present Perfect (have + past participle) for life experiences.
C) has / rodeIncorrect. "I" takes "have" and "rode" is simple past.
D) am / riding'Am riding' is the present continuous and describes an action happening now. The word 'never' plus 'before' asks about a whole life experience, which is present perfect.

💡 Explicación

Para hablar de cosas que hemos (o no hemos) hecho en nuestra vida, usamos el Presente Perfecto.

Bloom: Understand

Reviewing relative clauses for people.

The boy ________ won the spelling bee competition is in my class.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) who

A) whichIncorrect. "Which" is for things.
B) whoCorrect! "Who" refers to people.
C) whoseIncorrect. This would imply possession.
D) where'Where' asks about a place and would turn the sentence into a question, which it is not here.

💡 Explicación

Usamos "who" o "that" para dar información sobre una persona mencionada previamente.

Bloom: Understand

Reviewing First Conditional.

If we ________ to the party, we ________ a gift for the host.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) go / will bring

A) go / bringIncorrect. Result needs "will".
B) will go / bringIncorrect. No "will" after "if".
C) goes / will bringIncorrect. "We" takes "go".
D) go / will bringCorrect! First conditional structure.

💡 Explicación

El Primer Condicional conecta una condición presente (Present Simple) con un resultado futuro probable (Will).

Bloom: Understand

Reviewing "since" and "for".

Maria has worked as a nurse ________ 2015.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) since

A) forIncorrect. For is for periods of time (years).
B) during'During' marks a specific period or event, as in 'during the war'. The present perfect with a starting point needs 'since'.
C) sinceCorrect! Since is for a specific starting point.
D) ago'Ago' counts backwards from now, as in 'two years ago', and is normally used with a past tense, not with 'has worked'.

💡 Explicación

"Since" marca el inicio de una acción que continúa hasta el presente.

Bloom: Apply

Reviewing prohibition vs. lack of necessity.

You ________ smoke in the hospital; it's strictly forbidden.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) mustn't

A) mustn'tCorrect! "Mustn't" expresses prohibition.
B) don't have toIncorrect. This means it's optional, but here it's forbidden.
C) shouldn'tIncorrect. Too weak for a strict rule.
D) must'Must' is the affirmative form: it would say smoking is required. The clause says the opposite, that it is strictly forbidden.

💡 Explicación

Es crucial distinguir entre "mustn't" (prohibido) y "don't have to" (no es necesario).

Bloom: Analyze

Reviewing "whose" for possession.

That is the girl ________ brother plays in the national soccer team.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) whose

A) who'Who' cannot come before a noun to show possession. To say the brother of the girl, the relative pronoun used is 'whose'.
B) whoseCorrect! Shows possession (the brother of the girl).
C) which'Which' is only used for things, and a brother is a person.
D) whom'Whom' is the object form, as in 'the boy whom I met'. Here the blank comes before 'brother' and has to show ownership, which is what 'whose' does.

💡 Explicación

"Whose" se usa para unir dos ideas a través de una relación de pertenencia.

Bloom: Analyze

Reviewing conditional with "unless".

I won't call you ________ it's an emergency. I know you are busy.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) unless

A) if'If' would make it a straight condition, so the sentence would say the call will be made in every case that is an emergency, which is the opposite of the meaning.
B) unlessCorrect! "Unless" means "if not". I won't call IF IT'S NOT an emergency.
C) when'When' marks any time at all, including ordinary times, so it would promise to call you whenever something happened, not only in an emergency.
D) already'Already' is an adverb of time and cannot introduce the clause that carries the condition here.

💡 Explicación

"Unless" introduce una excepción a lo que se ha dicho anteriormente.

Bloom: Analyze

Reviewing Present Perfect with "yet".

A: "Have you seen the new movie yet?"
B: "No, I ________."

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) haven't seen it yet

A) haven't seen it yetCorrect! Correct use of negative Present Perfect with "yet".
B) haven't see it yetIncorrect. Participle "seen" is required.
C) didn't see it yetIncorrect. Present perfect is needed with "yet".
D) have already seen itIncorrect. Doesn't match the "No" in the response.

💡 Explicación

En respuestas negativas con "yet", debemos usar la estructura completa del Presente Perfecto Negativo.
