Strategies and useful tips

Time! It is advised to spend not more than 10–12 minutes to complete this task.

Do NOT change the part of speech!

Read the whole task carefully ignoring the gaps to understand the tense (present, past or future). Highlight the keywords and tense markers.

Pay attention to the very first sentence—that is the starting point (in grammar). That will give you an understanding of which tenses to use (Present/Past Continuous, Perfect, etc.) for the sequence of events: what happened before, after or at the same time with the main event.

Be careful with spelling!

Pay attention to irregular forms!

When writing your answer into the blank all the letters must be CAPITAL without any gaps (e.g. HASGOT, DONOTLIKE). Use a full form without an apostrophe.
