Examen Diagnóstico de Inglés I | A1

The answer 'Yes, he is' tells you the subject is one person, so the question should start with 'Is'.

'The pizza and the salad' are two things together, so together they need the plural form 'are'.

This sentence only has the verb 'to be', not 'do'. With 'we', the negative form is 'aren't'.

Two people together always need the plural form 'Are', not 'Is'.

'This soup' is one thing, so it takes 'is'. Also watch out: 'isn't not' repeats the negative — that's incorrect.

The answer 'Yes, I am' confirms this is a to-be question with 'you', so it must start with 'Are'.

'This' (singular) needs 'Is', matching the second part of the sentence: 'is it Ana's?'

The correct order for wh- questions is: question word, then auxiliary verb, then subject, then main verb — 'Where do you live?'

Since the answer is a person's name, you need 'Who', not 'What' or 'Where'.

The answer to this question is a time, so it needs 'When', not 'What' or 'Where'.

Since the phone is inside the backpack, the correct preposition is 'in', not 'on' or 'under'.

'A park' is one thing, so it needs the singular form 'There is', not 'There are'.

The number 'two' tells you the subject is plural, so you need 'are', not 'is'.

'Books' is plural, and 'right here' shows they're close, so you need 'These', not 'This' or 'Those'.

Read the whole sentence: 'never gets angry' describes someone calm, so the answer is 'patient', not its opposite 'impatient'.

Since the apple is near and singular, use 'this', not 'that' (which is for something far away).

Peter is a man, so the possessive form is 'his', not 'her' or 'its'.

'Keys' is plural, and after a verb like 'seen' you need an object pronoun: 'them', not the subject pronoun 'they'.

Be careful: 'its' (possessive) has no apostrophe. 'It's' with an apostrophe means 'it is', which doesn't fit here.

Look at each letter carefully — in English, this name is spelled with a 'G' (not 'J') and a 'Z' (not 'S' or 'C').

For months, English uses 'in' (in March), while specific dates use 'on' (on March 14th).

Commands with 'please' still use the base verb form: 'close', not 'closes' or 'closing'.

This is a fixed classroom expression: 'in English', not 'at English' or 'on English'.

Exact clock times always use 'at' (at 8 o'clock), not 'in' or 'on'.

Specific dates use 'on' (on the 14th), while months alone use 'in' (in July).

This describes a position in a sequence (1st, 2nd... 8th), so you need the ordinal 'eighth', with the correct spelling.

Careful — the language people speak (Portuguese) is not always the same as the nationality word. The nationality for Brazil is 'Brazilian'.

The structure 'prefer X to Y' is the natural way to compare preferences — 'like more' isn't used this way in English.

Before a noun like 'color', you need the adjective 'favorite', not 'prefer' (which is a verb) or 'favor'.

To show that something belongs to Miguel, add 's after his name: 'Miguel's', not just 'Miguel'.

With no noun after the blank, you need 'theirs' (possessive pronoun), not 'their' (which is used before a noun).

'Child' is an irregular noun — its plural is 'children', not 'childs' or 'childrens'.

Proper nouns are specific names (like a country) and are always capitalized — 'city' or 'school' are common (general) nouns.

Clothes belong in the 'bedroom', not the 'kitchen' or 'bathroom'.

Cooking happens in the 'kitchen', not the 'bathroom' or 'garage'.

Hair length uses the word 'long', not 'tall' — 'tall' is only for people or upright objects.

For a person's height, English uses 'tall', not 'high' or 'narrow' — those describe buildings or spaces, not people.

The clue 'drives a big truck' points directly to 'driver', not 'cook' or 'teacher'.

The sentence says 'she isn't a doctor', so the answer must be another hospital job: 'nurse'.

In a formal situation with someone in authority, use a formal greeting like 'Good afternoon, how are you?', not casual slang.
