Some questions
Help me to find correct answers for these questions.
1.I didn't learn much Greek ........ I was in Crete
as
during
since
while
So, here are 2 possible choices 'since' and 'while', because the sentence is in past simple
tense I would say that correct is 'while'. Am I Right?
2. The more ........ we walk the longer it will take us to get home
slowly
slower
slowest
slow
I not sure about 'slow'.
3. I'd rather you ........ smoke in the office
couldn't
mustn't
shouldn't
didn't
I would use "didn't"
5. He didn' t want to risk________late for the interview.
arrive
arriving
to arrive
having arrived
Really don't know what to use here.
7.We had an exciting ___ on the Trans-Siberian railway.
travel
trip
tour
cruise
Could anyone explain first three options closer? They seem to be very similar.
Thank You
Peter
