Question 3
Complete the sentence: "Coffee is _____ than tea."
Question 4
What is the irregular comparative form of "good"?
Question 5

Round 3 - Answer 1
Question: What is the comparative form of "big"?
Answer:
bigger
Explanation: For short adjectives (1 syllable), add "-er".
Double the final consonant if it ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern.
Question: Complete the sentence: "Coffee is _____ than tea."
Example Answers:
stronger / more popular / better / more expensive
Explanation: Many answers are possible! Just remember:
short adjectives (1 syllable) use "-er", long adjectives (2+ syllables) use "more".
✅ "Coffee is stronger than tea" (strong = 1 syllable → stronger)
✅ "Coffee is more popular than tea" (popular = 3 syllables → more popular)
✅ "Coffee is better than tea" (good → better, irregular)
Round 3 - Answer 4
Question: What is the irregular comparative form of "good"?
Answer:
better
Explanation: "Good" is irregular. It doesn't follow the normal "-er" or "more" pattern.
✅ "I am studying English now" (present continuous - happening now)
✅ Pattern: I am + V1-ing | She is + V1-ing | They are + V1-ing
Round 4 - Answer 5
Question: Correct the sentence: "I was cook when she arrived."
Answer:
I was cooking when she arrived.
Explanation: Past continuous needs V1-ing form (cooking), not V1 base form (cook).
✅ "I was cooking when she arrived" (past continuous + when + past simple)
❌ Wrong: "I was cook" (need -ing form for continuous)
Round 4 - Answer 6
Question: Fill in the blank: I _____ (meet) my friend tomorrow at 3pm.
Answer:
will meet
Explanation: "Tomorrow" shows future tense. Use "will" + base form V1 (meet).
✅ "I will meet my friend tomorrow" (future simple)
✅ After "will" always use base form: "I will meet" | "She will meet" | "They will meet"

Question 1
When do you use present continuous vs future continuous for future events?
Question 2
What tense is the interrupter verb in when you're using past continuous? For example, in "I was cooking when she arrived."
Question 3
When do we need to add a determiner before an object?
Question 4
Where do adverbs of frequency (like "usually", "often", "always") go in a sentence? Give an example.
Round 5 - Answer 1
Question: When do you use present continuous vs future continuous for future events?
Answer:
Use present continuous for planned/arranged future events. Use future continuous for actions that will be in progress.
Explanation: Both can talk about the future, but:
• Present continuous = planned/arranged events (I'm meeting her tomorrow)
• Future continuous = actions in progress at a future time (I'll be studying at 3pm)
✅ "I am meeting my friend tomorrow" (present continuous - planned)
✅ "I will be studying at 3pm tomorrow" (future continuous - in progress)
Round 5 - Answer 2
Question: What tense is the interrupter verb in when you're using past continuous? For example, in "I was cooking when she arrived."
Answer:
Past Simple (V2)
Explanation: When you use past continuous (was/were + V1-ing) for the longer/ongoing action,
the interrupting action (the one that stops it) is always in Past Simple (V2).
✅ "I was cooking when she arrived" (past continuous + past simple)
✅ "They were playing when it started to rain" (past continuous + past simple)
✅ Pattern: was/were + V1-ing (ongoing) + when/while + V2 (interruption)
❌ Wrong: "I was cooking when she was arriving" (both can't be continuous!)
Round 5 - Answer 3
Question: When do we need to add a determiner before an object?
Answer:
We need determiners for singular objects. Plural or uncountable (numberless) objects don't need determiners.
Explanation: This is a critical rule! Singular = one specific thing. Plural/uncountable = more than one or not countable.
✅ "I read a book" (singular - needs determiner: a/an/the/my/your)
✅ "I eat pizza" (plural/uncountable - no determiner)
✅ "I drink coffee" (uncountable - no determiner)
❌ "I read book" (singular missing determiner)
Round 5 - Answer 4
Question: Where do adverbs of frequency (like "usually", "often", "always") go in a sentence? Give an example.
Answer:
Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb, but after the verb "be" (am/is/are/was/were).
Explanation: Placement rules:
• Before main verbs: "I usually study" | "She often goes"
• After "be" verbs: "I amalways tired" | "He isusually happy"
• With "do/does/did": Adverb goes after: "I don't usually eat"
✅ "I usually study in the morning" (before main verb)
✅ "She isalways on time" (after "be" verb)
✅ "They often play soccer" (before main verb)
✅ "I don't usually watch TV" (after don't/doesn't/didn't)
