Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: D
"Not once" cümle başına gelince devrik yapı gerekir: "Not once did anyone apologise" (bir kez bile özür dilemediler); bu, karşı yandaki oteli önermeleriyle uyumludur. "So sorry were they ..." dilbilgisel olarak doğru ama özür ve süit verme anlamı konuşmanın devamıyla çelişir.

Doğru cevap: D
Hande stajyeri övüyor: "Rarely have I seen ..." (yeni birinin bu kadar sakin davrandığını nadiren gördüm). "Never have I seen ... so badly" doğru devrik yapıdır ama "brilliantly" ve kalıcı iş teklifi önerisiyle çelişir.

Doğru cevap: D
"Only if + yan cümle" başa gelince ana cümle devrik olur: "will we need". Müşteri önce ayarı deneyip geri arayacağını söylediği için anlam da uyuyor. "Will need we" yanlış sıralamadır.

Doğru cevap: D
"Nowhere" olumsuz anlamlıdır ve başa gelince devrik yapı ister: will + you + find. "won't you find" çift olumsuzluk yaratır; "Anywhere ... will you find" ise anlamı tersine çevirir ve devrik yapı gerektirmez.

Doğru cevap: D
"Only by + V-ing" cümle başında olunca ana cümlede yardımcı fiil özneden önce gelir: "can you protect". Sık hata: devrik yapıyı unutmak ("you can protect") ya da "by"dan sonra yalın fiil kullanmak.

Cevabı ve çözümü göster

Soru 8
____ the company to relocate abroad, most of the staff would probably resign.
- A)Should
- B)Were
- C)Did
- D)Is
- E)Would
Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: B
"Were + özne + to-infinitive" ihtimali düşük bir varsayımı anlatır: "Were the company to relocate…" = If the company were to relocate. "Should" devriminden sonra "to" gelmez (Should the company relocate), bu yüzden "Should" burada yanlıştır.

Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: D

- A)the bank had received
- B)did the bank received
- C)the bank has received
- D)received the bank had
- E)had the bank received
Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: E
Olumsuz anlamlı "Never" cümle başına geldiğinde devrik yapı gerekir: yardımcı fiil + özne + fiil, yani "Never had the bank received ...". "the bank had received" doğru zamandır ama düz sıradadır; "did the bank received" ise "did" sonrasında yalın fiil kuralını bozar.
