MEGOLDSOK S MAGYARZATOK:

1. D (az els tagmondat mltidben van, teht a B ezrt sem lehet j. az 'A' megolds
helytelen, hiszen rtelmetlen a szenved szerkezet; a C azrt nem helyes, mert a srs

nem egyszeri cselekvs /mint pldul a 'lelt' lenne/, hanem folyamatos.

2. C ( (A) match=harmonizl, sznben, fazonban megy vmihez; (B) nem lehet helyes,
hiszen a 'shoes' tbbesszmot kvn meg /tbbesszmban is picit furcsa lenne, hiszen a
'suit' jelentse: 'jl ll, csinos vmiben'; (D) go with=match)
3. C (kifejezsrl van sz: 'how come'=hogy lehet. Minden ms verzi helytelen.)
4. B (szintn kifejezs: 'what on earth'=mi az rdgt ...; persze nem lehetetlen ez
egyb krdszavakkal sem 'how on earth=hogy az rdgbe, why on earth=mi az
rdgrt stb., viszont a D vlasz mgis helytelen, mgpedig a omndat vgn tallhat
prepozci (for) miatt. A kt lehetsges megolds: 'How on earth did you do that?', illetve
'What on earth did you do that for?'
5. C (szrendi krds: szablyosan a 'never' az els segdige utn ll /itt ez a would/.
Nem kizrt beszlt nyelvben ms megolds sem, de a teszteknl maradjunk ennl)
6. C (ez picit sszetettebb: az els rszben mind az every, illetve az each utn egyes
szm szksges, teht az 'A' nem lehet helyes (persze a 'such nice people' el were
kellene, nem pedig 'was'. A whisky megszmllhatatlan, nem tehetem tbesszmba, teht
ez is kizrt. A 'B' a 'so lot of kind' miatt vrzik el, ez a magyar 'annyi sok fajta ember'
suta tkrfordtsa)
7. D (kt rsze van a krdsnek: 1. mi llhat az 'ask' utn /ask sb to do sth,ill. ask sb
sth/, illetve 2. felismerjk-e, hogy a 'where' utn egyenes szrendnek kell kvetkeznie.
Eszerint helytelen az 'A', mivel 'ask sb for doing sth' helytelen, nem j a B sem, hiszen
nincs egyenes szrend a 'where' utn, a C tbb sebbl vrzik: a 'for her' mr nem j, a
szrend nem egyenes, radsul jelenidben van (has been)
8. D (szintn nehezebb krds: a 'leave'=elindul, teht nem folyamatos cselekvs. Ezzel
kizrhatjuk az 'A' s a B vlaszokat. A msik kt esetben azonban a 'before' utn gerund
ll, ami nem folyamatos cselekvsre utal, teht ez lehetsges. Ami mgis a D mellett
dnt az az, hogy a C vlasz esetben szenved szerkezettel tallkozunk (=kb. el lett
indulva), ami helytelen).
9. D (a 'like' s a 'would like' kztti klnbsggel kell szmolnunk. a 'like' utn helyes a
to infinitive, s az -ing-es alak is, a 'would like' utn csak to infinitive llhat. 'That-es
mellkmondat kizrva!). Az enjoy utn pedig minden esetben -ing-es alak ll.)
10. A (egyszer a magyarzat: j a 'lots of' az 'a lot of', illetve a 'plenty of'. Plenty el
nem kell nvel!)
11. C (get used to doing sth: hozzszokta vmihez. A would is hasznlhat hasonl
jelentsben, de nem llapotra, csak cselekvsre.)
12. C (mveltets: lsd: Nyelvtanknyv. A 'caused' jelentse 'okoz', gy itt ennek semmi
rtelme, a 'forced' j lenne, de csak 'forced me to give' alakban. A D-hez szintn to
infinitive kellene, s helyes lenne: 'I was made to give ...'
13. C (sima feltteles mondat: 'if' utn jelenid, akkor a msik oldalon 'will'.)
14. D (so do I, neither/nor do I ... jelleg szerkezet. Nem lehet 'A', hiszen tagadunk
(magyarul is fura lenne, pldul: *'Nem szeretem a focit, s is.')
15. A (kicsit fogsabb ez is: igazn az 'A' s a B kztt szoktak sokan elbizonytalanodni.
Jegyezzk meg: a 'who' mondat elejn csak krdszknt llhat (pl. Who is it?)

6. C (regret + ing-es alak. Az attending mlt idej alakja having attended, gy az A s a B megolds kizrva.
Szintn rossz a D is, hiszen indokolatlan a passzv szerkezet)
7. C (good - better - best. Ha sokkal jobban, akkor lehet pl. much better, a lot better, semmikppen sem az A
megolds, amely fordtsa kb. *"jobbabban". Nem lehet a D sem, hiszen a good mellknv, rtelmetlen a
*"nagyon j van")
8. A (invite sb to a party, valamint accept an invitation to the party. A prepozci teht to.)
9. D (helyes lehetne a B vlasz, ha manage to pass lenne, esetleg a C is, ha never be able to pass lenne. Az A
