1 felt: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to feel' needs to be put in the past simple tense (preterit). To feel: I feel / I felt / I have felt.
2 eaten: Because it is preceded by 'hadn't', 'to eat' needs to be put in the past participle form. This forms the past perfect tense. To eat: I eat / I ate / I have eaten.
3 began: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to begin' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To begin' is an irregular verb: I begin / I began / I have begun.
4 found: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to find' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To find: I find / I found / I have found.
5 forgot: Because we are speaking of the past (this morning), 'to forget' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To forget: I forget/ I forgot/ I have forgotten.
6 said : Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to say' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To say: I say/ I said/ I have said.
7 answered: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to answer' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To answer' is a regular verb.
8 give: Because it is preceded by 'can', 'to give' needs to stay in the infinitive, but we remove the 'to'. This is what happens after modal verbs like 'can', 'could', 'should' or 'must'. Examples: Bob could help you; Polly should see a doctor about that rash.
9 declared: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to declare' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To declare' is a regular verb.
10 thought: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to think' needs to be in the preterit tense. To think: I think/ I thought/ I have thought.
11 knew: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to know' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To know: I know/ I knew/ I have known.
12 responded: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to respond' needs to be put in the simple past tense. 'To respond' is a regular verb.
13 did : The phrase 'the last time' indicates that Kevin ordered the most expensive dish once, in the past, requiring the simple past tense form of the verb. We use the auxiliary here to replace 'ordered'. To do: I do/ I did/ I have done.
14 said: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to say' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To say: I say/ I said/ I have said.
15 left: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to leave' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To leave: leave/left/I have left.

This is an appropriate way to introduce a question and answer session. We talk of "taking questions (from the audience)". Example: "The President will not be able to take any questions from the press after the conference, because he is shy".
This sentence is grammatically incorrect. We can "answer to" people (generally authority figures). However we answer questions; there is no need to include the preposition "to". This sentence should read "Now I'll answer a few questions from the press", which is a good way to introduce a question and answer session.
This is a useful way for a speaker to say that he or she is ready to answer some questions from the audience. To "open (up) the floor for questions" is a common expression, frequently used in public speaking. Example: "It's time to open up the floor for your questions and comments".
This is not an English expression. We open the floor for questions, not the door!
This is not an English expression. We don't say ask to me, we say "ask me (your) questions".

Match the following terms and expressions with the best definitions. Use the context to help you.
Don't let me bother you = Don't let me you.
To carry on with an activity is to it.
In the context of the scene you just heard, to get the phone is to the phone.
Don't let me bother you = Don't let me you.
To carry on with an activity is to it.
In the context of the scene you just heard, to get the phone is to the phone.
Match the following terms and expressions with the best definitions. Use the context to help you.
Don't let me bother you = Don't let me disturb 1 you.
To carry on with an activity is to continue 2 it.
In the context of the scene you just heard, to get the phone is to answer 3 the phone.
Don't let me bother you = Don't let me disturb 1 you.
To carry on with an activity is to continue 2 it.
In the context of the scene you just heard, to get the phone is to answer 3 the phone.
1 disturb: "To bother" is a verb close to "disturb", and the two terms are interchangeable in this expression. "Don't let me bother you" is an invitation to act normally, or continue to do something as if no one else was present.
1 frustrate: To "frustrate" means to irritate or cause annoyance or irritation. Although "bothering" someone can sometimes include frustration or irritation, in this context, "bother" is closer in meaning to "disturb".
1 bore: "To bore (someone)" is to say or do something which does not interest ot excite another person. Example: This movie is boring me. Isn't there anything else we can watch? "Bore" and "bother" do not share a close meaning.
2 continue: "To carry on (swimming)" is to "continue" swimming, or to "keep" swimming, generally while another activity or incident may interrupt the action. For example: We carried on with the play even after the main actor quit. "Carry on", the instruction that Bruno gives Edward and Brian, is commonly given when you wish someone to continue an action, despite your presence.
2 interrupt: "To carry on (doing something)" and "to interrupt (an action)" express nearly opposite meanings. To "interrupt (a discussion)" is to "cut" or break into it. For example: Bob interrupted our meeting several times in order to sing "Happy Birthday" to his dog.
2 begin: "To begin (eating dinner)" is to commence or start eating it. This verb has a different meaning than to "carry on", which describes a continuation of an action, and not the start of one.
3 answer: This is the best answer. "Get the phone" is an instruction to "answer" or "pick up" the telephone. Example: Can you get the phone? I'm busy right now. Note that in another context, "get the phone" could refer to buying, obtaining or transporting a phone. Ex: I'm going to the store to get a phone. Do you need anything?
3 obtain: In this context, "obtaining" or "procuring" a phone isn't the best answer here. "Get the phone" is an order to pick up or answer the phone. Note that in another context, "get" can express "obtaining" or "procuring" an item. Example: Please go to the store and get me some orange juice and eggs.
3 ignore: "Ignore" and "get" don't share a similar meaning in this context or any other.
3 hang up: "To hang up (a telephone, on someone)" is to end a telephone call, generally by placing the receiver of the telephone on the "cradle" or "base" of the phone. The term doesn't share a similar meaning with "to get the phone".
