The correct answer was B – β€œwas diagnosed.β€βœ…

The reason is that he did not diagnose himself. He was diagnosed by a doctor, so we should use the passive form.

If someone (i.e. a doctor) gives a diagnosis, then we can use the active form of β€œdiagnose.” If we focus on the patient

The correct answer was β€œin.β€βœ…

Some people said β€œof” but this is incorrect.
After superlatives, we do not usually use 'of' when referring to a place or group.

Example:
❌ This is the best restaurant of the city.
βœ… This is the best restaurant in the city.

We say β€œto be +

The correct answer was A – β€œMany.β€βœ…

This is because β€œpeople” is a countable noun. We say β€œmany more + countable noun” and β€œmuch more + uncountable noun.” For example:

πŸ”Έ We have many more products in the warehouse.
πŸ”Έ There are many more reasons why you might want to join.
πŸ”Έ

A few days ago, I returned from my holiday to Thailand, but I have a lot of work to catch up on, so I won't be posting my usual grammar challenges this week.

Instead, I'll spend this week working and then return to posting on 𝕏 next Monday.

See you then.πŸ‘‹

I am going to take a short break from posting here and on other social media platforms. I have been posting almost every day for several years and I need to focus on other things for a while.

I will be back again in a few weeks.πŸ‘‹

The correct answer was A – β€œwill.β€βœ…

This is the first conditional. The formula is:

IF + PRESENT SIMPLE, (THEN) FUTURE SIMPLE

We use β€œwill” to complete the future simple form: β€œwill turn back.”

The correct answer was C – β€œthe.β€βœ…

We treat this as a definite place even though there are multiple seasides in the world.

It is strange, but we never say β€œa seaside.” This is because we think of it as one big space where the land meets the water.

It’s the same with β€œthe

The correct answer was B – β€œit.β€βœ…

This refers to β€œthe blaze.”

When we refer to a single thing, we use β€œit.” If there had been multiple fires, we could say β€œthey.”

Note that the pronoun here logically refers to the fire rather than the firefighters. We can tell that from the

The correct answer is B – β€œwhich.β€βœ…

This is about essential and non-essential relative clauses.

We use β€œwhich” after a comma in a non-essential relative clause. That means the information is not necessary for understanding the noun that it modifies.

ESSENTIAL: This is the
