Thanks for the explanation.
So we can say house essentials,car essentials and so on with their related concepts,cannot we?

‘Household essentials’ rather than ‘house essentials’ but yes, we can.

‘Cannot we?’ though correct, sounds quite stilted. It would be more natural nowadays to say ‘can’t we?’

Hi, I don’t understand why the third option is considered wrong.

1). Weren’t you married to Diana Ross?
Yes, I’ve always loved Mary.
Yes, that’s right. – CORRECT
No, we were.

It indicates that more than one person (we) was married to Diana Ross and also that the person who was asked the question is not the person who is responding.

Hi,

3). Whose coffee cup is this?
I think it’s Sophia’s. – CORRECT

Can I say “I think is that of Sophia”?

Thanks in advance. Cheerio

You could if you added the missing ‘it’ (I presume a typo? - "I think it is that of…’) - however it would sound very stilted.

I am able to get audio and would like to also get the text transcript to compare the accuracy of my listening with what was actually said.

1434

Sir,
Good evening! I just want to ask, how to download the audio recordings and put it on my phone. So that I can listen to it during my free time. Thank you and God bless…

Please don’t display the advertisement which is not related for learning English. This is causing mood out to the learners and thereby I/We are unable to attend test to my satisfaction.

Thanking you
