Ниже приведены правильные ответы на тест по английскому языку с объяснениями грамматических правил. В некоторых заданиях возможны несколько грамматически правильных вариантов, поэтому я отдельно отмечу такие случаи.

Правильные ответы с объяснениями

1. There is — There is nothing funny in the situation.

Перевод: В этой ситуации нет ничего смешного.

Объяснение: Конструкция there is используется, когда мы говорим о наличии или отсутствии чего-либо. Слово nothing уже содержит отрицание, поэтому дополнительное not не требуется.

2. there is — Put on your warm coat, there is a strong wind outside.

Перевод: Надень тёплое пальто, на улице сильный ветер.

Объяснение: Конструкция there is обозначает наличие чего-либо. Поскольку речь идёт о погоде в настоящий момент, используется Present Simple.

3. louder than — Actions speak louder than words.

Перевод: Поступки говорят громче слов.

Объяснение: Это английская пословица. При сравнении используется сравнительная степень прилагательного или наречия с than: loud → louder than.

4. Is it — Is it strange that she didn't speak to you?

Перевод: Разве не странно, что она с тобой не разговаривала?

Объяснение: Безличное местоимение it используется для выражения оценки ситуации: It is strange that... В вопросительной форме порядок слов меняется: Is it strange that...?

5. There have been — There have been a few changes since you left last week.

Перевод: С тех пор как ты уехал на прошлой неделе, произошло несколько изменений.

Объяснение: Present Perfect используется для обозначения изменений, произошедших с определённого момента в прошлом до настоящего времени. Слово since указывает на начало периода.

6. more active — Be more active at the lessons, please.

Перевод: Пожалуйста, будь активнее на уроках.

Объяснение: Сравнительная степень прилагательного active образуется с помощью more: more active. После глагола be здесь требуется прилагательное, а не наречие.

7. twice as lively as — She is twice as lively as her sister.

Перевод: Она в два раза энергичнее своей сестры.

Объяснение: Для сравнения с указанием кратности используется конструкция twice as + adjective + as.

8. has been moved — The chair has been moved.

Перевод: Стул передвинули.

Объяснение: Это Present Perfect Passive: has/have + been + V3. Конструкция подчёркивает результат совершённого действия.

Однако вариант was being moved также грамматически правильный и означает «Стул передвигали (в определённый момент в прошлом)». Без дополнительного контекста оба варианта допустимы. Наиболее вероятный ожидаемый ответ — has been moved.

9. there is — As you are wearing the fur coat, I think there is a strong wind outside.

Перевод: Поскольку ты носишь шубу, я думаю, что на улице сильный ветер.

Объяснение: There is используется для сообщения о наличии чего-либо в настоящем времени.

10. so strong as — Henry is not so strong as his elder brother Bob.

Перевод: Генри не такой сильный, как его старший брат Боб.

Объяснение: В отрицательных сравнительных предложениях используется конструкция not so/as + adjective + as.

11. nicer — I'd like this dish. It smells nicer than the previous one.

Перевод: Я хотел бы это блюдо. Оно пахнет приятнее, чем предыдущее.

Объяснение: После глагола восприятия smell в значении «иметь запах» употребляется прилагательное. Сравнительная степень nice — nicer.

12. angrily — She looked at him angrily.

Перевод: Она сердито посмотрела на него.

Объяснение: Здесь необходимо наречие, поскольку оно характеризует действие looked. Наречие angrily образовано от прилагательного angry.

13. are told — I want you to do as you are told.

Перевод: Я хочу, чтобы ты делал то, что тебе говорят.

Объяснение: Используется страдательный залог Present Simple Passive: am/is/are + V3. Выражение do as you are told означает «делай, как тебе велят».

14. It is — It is too soon yet to say definitely if he will agree.

Перевод: Пока ещё слишком рано определённо говорить, согласится ли он.

Объяснение: Безличная конструкция It is too soon to... означает «слишком рано, чтобы...». Более естественно сказать: It is too soon to say whether he will agree.

15. as slowly as — Despite the teacher dictated as slowly as he could, the students made a lot of mistakes.

Перевод: Несмотря на то что учитель диктовал настолько медленно, насколько мог, ученики сделали много ошибок.

Объяснение: Конструкция as + adverb + as используется для сравнения степени действия. Slowly — наречие от slow.

Важно: В исходном предложении есть грамматическая ошибка. После despite нельзя непосредственно употреблять придаточное предложение с подлежащим и сказуемым. Правильно: Although the teacher dictated as slowly as he could, the students made a lot of mistakes.

16. the largest — Moscow is the largest city in Russia.

Перевод: Москва — самый большой город России.

Объяснение:
