Choose the correct answer

1- After Miguel ----------- his test,he left school.
A- failed B- was failing C- was failed D failing

Hi Sultan,

Which would you choose?

2- steve ---- many people in meyer Dormitory .
A- know B- is knowing c- is know D- knows

1- D
2-C

  1. A is correct (failed) because it is the past tense and this event is set in the past.
  2. D is correct (knows) because this event is set in the present and the subject is ‘Steve’ (3rd person singular). The 3rd person singular form of ‘to know’ is
    He/she/it/‘singular noun’ knows.

THANKS

HI…
I have just seen the answer here
And i would like to add some information about Q1
I think there are two possible answer
A- failed… because the sentence is in the past
D- failing… because (after) is a preposition and after preposition we must use a gerund

Anyhow as i know both answer are possible here :slight_smile:

‘Failing’ is NOT correct. The tense required for the sentence to make sense is the past tense.
