Clauses (Intermediate / Upper-Intermediate) Test 5

After Do you think, the next part is a statement, so it uses normal word order: subject + verb, it is possible that. Not is it possible that, because question word order is not used inside another question.

After It is important that, we can use the subjunctive: the base form of the verb for every person, so Mike explain. Not explained, because the sentence is about something necessary now, not about the past.

After it is necessary that, we use the subjunctive, which is the base form of the verb for every person: he consult an expert. Not for him to study, because the word that must be followed by a full clause with a subject and a verb, not by for + infinitive.

After advise that, we use the subjunctive. In the negative, not comes before the base form: not be told, with no to. Not not to be told, because to is not used in a that-clause.

In reported speech, will changes to would. So in direct speech we would visit goes back to will you visit, with question word order and you instead of we. Not did you visit, because that would be reported as whom we had visited.

After insist that, we use should + base form, or just the base form: the students should arrive. This means the same as insisted on the students' arriving. Not would arrive, because insist expresses a demand, not a prediction.

An indirect question after know uses statement word order: what good music is. The other options use question word order, for example has he and was he, which is wrong in a noun clause.

The perfect gerund having told shows an action that happened before the main verb. After the past verb refused, this earlier action is in the past perfect: she had told. Not would tell, because that refers to a later action.

After propose that, we use the subjunctive. The highway does not build itself, so we need the passive: be built. Not should build, because that is active; the correct form would be should be built.

After It is desirable that, we use the subjunctive, which is the base form: no one else know. Not doesn't know, because no one is already negative, so this would be a double negative.

The noun clause That she was chosen Miss Turkey is the subject of the sentence, so it needs a verb next: made me happy. The other options add a new subject, such as nobody or everybody, which leaves the that-clause without a verb.

A whether clause can be the subject of a sentence, and it takes a singular verb: depends on various factors. Not don't make or cause, because these are plural forms.

Satisfied can be followed directly by a that-clause with a subject and a verb: I am satisfied that she came third. Not that our victory against our enemies, because this clause has no verb. Not what you promised to do, because this needs a preposition: satisfied with what you promised.

The fact that they blamed us for the accident is the subject of the sentence, so it needs a main verb: was surprising. Not which was not our fault, because a relative clause adds information but does not give the sentence a verb.

A full statement can be the subject of a sentence only if it is introduced by that: That the poor have a hard life is a fact. The world is round and He came first have no that, so the sentence would have two main verbs. What is he saying uses question word order; a noun clause needs statement order (What he is saying).

In a question, the subject after Did must be a noun phrase. the fact that his father was a professor works as a noun. Not that he won a scholarship, because a that-clause cannot follow the auxiliary in a question.

It is incredible that is about a real fact, so it uses a normal verb form: he has passed his exams. The subjunctive forms she study and he undergo are used after words of necessity, like necessary, not after incredible.

After It is necessary that, we use the subjunctive, which is the base form: everyone be here. Not are, because everyone is singular, and the subjunctive needs be anyway.

After suggest that, we use the subjunctive, which is the base form: she open. Another correct form is she should open. Not would open, because suggest is not followed by would.

To express regret about the past, we use wish + past perfect: he wishes he had chosen another profession. He chose his job in the past. Not chose, because wish + past simple is about the present.
