Test de Gramática de Aptis 2

We need a comparative adverb here, as we're referring to the verb 'talk'

We use 'in' for periods of time (months, years, decades ...)

This is a 3rd conditional, so we need if + past perfect

We use do you mind + present simple (would you mind + past simple)

admit is followed by verb+ing

The verb is to agree, and we don't use it in the continuous form

however introduces a contrary idea, like but (in spite of is followed by a noun or noun clause, or by the fact that + clause)

We use neither/nor to agree with a negative idea; they are already negative, so the verb must be affirmative (no double negatives in English)

We need present perfect to describe something that started in the past and is still true now

homework is an uncountable noun

We use on for parts of days with names (compare with in the morning)

It's despite or in spite of + noun (although is followed by a clause)

However is used at the start of a sentence, not after a comma (despite would need the fact that + clause)

slightly = a little (as + adjective + as)

one-syllable adjectives just take -er (and you need to double the consonant to maintain the short vowel sound)

positive verbs take negative question tags, and vice versa (if the verb isn't an auxiliary, we use a form of do in the tag)

We need past continuous here

as + base adjective + as (well is an adverb)

No article for meals, unless you're referring to a specific meal (the lunch you made yesterday was delicious)

We use prefer + verb+ing to express general preferences (and see doesn't collocate with TV)

We use will + infinitive for spontaneous decisions

Basic passive rules: the verb be in the correct form, plus the past participle

think is followed by of or about

We use yet at the end of questions and negative sentences

2nd conditional: would  infinitive / if + past simple
