Explanation
This lesson has no new grammar. It teaches how to answer review items. Choose TWO correct answers: test each option in the sentence or against the target word, cross out the wrong ones and keep two. Word choice: decide which kind of word is needed, then test the meaning. Antonym items: do not choose a word that only looks similar. Grammar checklist: for a compound adjective check the hyphen and the singular noun (a six-hour trip); for -ed or -ing ask whether the word names a feeling (-ed) or its cause (-ing); for the causative check have + person + base verb, get + person + to + verb and have / get + object + past participle; for a reported question check if, whether or the question word, the word order, the tense and the time words. Our items are new, and the book’s review items on pages 96 to 100 are not used. Answer the book’s items in your notebook after this lesson.

The talk was boring; I was bored.

I had my bike mended.
reported question

Worked examples
Two correct answers: “Choose the TWO words that mean the same as fragile: delicate, sturdy, easily broken, huge, strong.” Test each: delicate and easily broken both mean easily damaged. Sturdy and strong are the opposite.
Compound adjective: “The walk took twenty minutes.” → a twenty-minute walk. The noun minute stays singular.
Causative: “A shop repaired Dina’s bag.” → Dina had her bag repaired. The past participle repaired comes after the object.
Reported question: “Where do you keep the keys?” he asked. → He asked where I kept the keys. The verb is after the subject, and the tense goes one step back.
Class activity
Make a mini review sheet for a friend: write two items of your own for each of the four grammar points (a gap or a rewrite) and give the key. Swap with a partner and check each other’s keys.
