Test Yourself (Present, Past, Future)
1. Write the correct form of the verbs, choosing from all the tenses which you know.
Mark Pringle is (be) two years older than his cousin Nick. After he left school, he _______ (get) a job with a music magazine. For the last two years he _______ (work) as a general reporter. “I _______ (like) the work”, he says. “Next year, I ________ (probably go) to New York to work as the American correspondent”.
Like Nick, Mark _______ (go) to a public school – Charterhouse – and he ________ (not like) it, either. “I ________ (be) very pleased when I ________ (leave) two years ago. If I have any children, I ________ (not send) them to a public school, I _______ (send) them to a state school”.
Mark didn’t go to University. “I ________ (not get) very good grades in my “A” Levels,” he says, but that’s O.K., because I _______ (not need) good “A” Level grades to do this job”.
At the moment, he ________ (study) Spanish and Portuguese. “A lot of good music _______ (come) from South America, and after New York, I ________ (want) to go and live there for a few years”.
2. Write the correct form of the verbs.
I’m going to have a very unusual holiday this year. I’m going to photograph elephants in Africa. If you want to do the same, you’d better book your ticket soon. There ______(not be) any wild elephants in twenty years’ time. They’ll all be dead, except maybe for a few in nature reserves.
An elephant is a walking bank as far as hunters are concerned. The reason is the price of ivory, which _____(be) $5 a kilogram in the 1960s but _____(be) $ 50 a kilogram now. As the price went up, the killings started. Elephant populations in eastern Africa _____(start) falling and now the total African population is declining fast.
The largest estimate says that there ______(be) about 800,000 African elephants. In ten years’ time, this figure will be halved if hunting continues as it is now. Another ten years, and the wild elephant______(exist) no longer.
Sixteen of the thirty-five African countries which have elephants are going to restrict trade in elephant products and some of these are going to start special nature reserves, where elephants are protected. But it may be too late. If the hunting continues on its present scale, the elephant will soon be a thing of the past.
