3 a told
b were told
1) The sentence is: "He is said the country years ago.".
The word "He" is a third person singular pronoun, which means we need to use the correct form of verb that agrees with it.
In this case, the verb is "to leave" and its correct form in the present infinitive is "to have left". Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) present infinitive.
2) The sentence is: "They our new fridge tomorrow morning.".
The sentence is incomplete and needs a verb. Looking at the options, we can see that the verb "to leave" is not suitable here. Instead, we need a future tense form of the verb.
In this case, the future simple form of the verb "to deliver" is the correct choice. Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) future simple.
3) The sentence is: "We to evacuate the building immediately.".
Again, the sentence is incomplete and needs a verb. The verb "to leave" is not suitable here. Instead, we need a past tense form of the verb.
In this case, the correct answer is option (a) past simple.
Task 1b:
1) The sentence is: "He is said the country years ago.".
Now that we know the missing verb is "to have left", we can choose the correct option that best fits the gap.
Out of the provided options, "to leave" is a better fit. Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) to leave.
2) The sentence is: "They our new fridge tomorrow morning.".
Now that we know the missing verb is "to deliver", we can choose the correct option that best fits the gap.
Out of the provided options, "will deliver" is a better fit. Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) will deliver.
3) The sentence is: "We to evacuate the building immediately.".
Now that we know the missing verb is "to be told", we can choose the correct option that best fits the gap.
Out of the provided options, "were told" is a better fit. Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) were told.
