I, like apples bananas and grapes.
I like apples bananas and grapes.

old small red car
red small old car
small red old car

Which sentence correctly uses the present perfect tense?
I have seen that movie.
I saw that movie.
I see that movie.

My brother who lives in Canada is visiting me.
My brother, who lives in Canada, is visiting me.
My brother, who lives in Canada is visiting me.

What does the phrasal verb "look up" mean in this sentence: "I need to look up the word in the dictionary"?
Admire

Choose the correctly punctuated compound sentence with a semicolon.
She loves pizza; he prefers pasta.
She loves pizza, he prefers pasta.
She loves pizza; and he prefers pasta.
She loves pizza. he prefers pasta.

Which sentence contains a simile?
Her cheeks were as red as roses.
Her cheeks glowed like a sunset.
Her cheeks burned bright.
Her cheeks were roses.
A simile compares two things using "like" or "as." "As red as roses" fits that pattern. Metaphors make direct comparisons without "like/as." Recognizing figures of speech enriches comprehension. Understanding similes.
Identify the hyperbole in the following: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."
so hungry
I could eat a horse

Who
Whom
Whoever

Identify the gerund in the sentence: "Swimming is fun."
Swimming
is
fun
to swim
A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Here, "Swimming" names an activity and acts as the sentence subject. Gerunds differ from present participles, which act as adjectives. Gerunds explained.
Which sentence uses the transition word "therefore" correctly?
He was late; therefore, he missed the bus.
He was late therefore he missed the bus.
Therefore he was late; he missed the bus.
He was late, and therefore he missed the bus.
"Therefore" indicates a logical consequence and is set off by a semicolon or comma. Inserting a semicolon before it separates two independent clauses correctly. Proper transitions improve coherence. Using transitional words.
Which sentence is imperative?

Do you mind closing the door?
The door is closed.

If I were you, I would apologize.
If I was you, I would apologize.
If I am you, I would apologize.

Which sentence uses "affect" correctly?
The cold weather can affect your health.
The new policy had a positive affect.
