Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: E
Neden bildiren participle clause: "Because he is allergic to nuts" = "Being allergic to nuts". "To be allergic" amaç anlamı verir ve burada anlamsızdır; "Been" tek başına kullanılamaz.

Doğru cevap: E
"All things considered" = her şey göz önüne alındığında; Gül stresli anlara rağmen ayın iyi geçtiğini söylüyor. "Her team considered her ..." yanlıştır; "considered" burada ekibin görüşünü değil, Gül'ün değerlendirmesini anlatır.

- A)deliver
- B)delivering
- C)delivered
- D)were delivered
- E)to deliver
Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: C
"Any parcels delivered at reception" = resepsiyona teslim edilen paketler (which are delivered); edilgen anlamlı participle ile kısaltılmış sıfat cümlesidir. "delivering" etken anlam verir, oysa paketler teslim eden değil edilen şeydir; "were delivered" ise cümleye ikinci bir çekimli fiil ekler.

Doğru cevap: D
Participle clause'un öznesi ana cümlenin öznesiyle aynı olmalıdır. "Walking along the beach, a jellyfish stung my foot" cümlesinde sahilde yürüyen denizanası olmuş olur (dangling participle). "Walking along the beach, I was stung ..." ise doğru, çünkü yürüyen de sokulan da "I".

Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: D

Cevabı ve çözümü göster

Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: E
"Having looked after" önce gerçekleşen etken eylemi verir ve soruya uygun bir neden sunar. "Having been looked after ... I always found hospitals frightening" dilbilgisi olarak doğru ama hemşireliği neden seçtiğini açıklamaz; "Looking after ..., nursing became" sarkık ortaçtır.

Cevabı ve çözümü göster
Doğru cevap: C
Olumsuz ortaç cümleciğinde "not" ortacın önüne gelir: "Not having a charger" = şarj aleti olmadığı için. "Not having been charged" Yuki'nin kendisinin şarj edilmediğini söyler, anlam bozulur.

- A)Being read
- B)Having read
- C)To have read
- D)Had read
- E)Read
Cevabı ve çözümü göster
