Esercizio 1
My great-grandmother was born January 5, 1892 the nineteenth century. She was born the same city as my great-grandfather, New York City. My mom tells me that grandmother was born 12:00 AM exactly!
My great-grandmother was born on 1 January 5, 1892 in 2 the nineteenth century. She was born in 3 the same city as my great-grandfather, New York City. My mom tells me that grandmother was born at 4 12:00 AM exactly!
1 on: To refer to the date when someone is born, we use the post-position 'on' to follow 'born'. 'Born on' is used to refer the date when someone is born.
1 in: We don't use 'born in' to refer to specific dates. However, 'born' is followed by the post-position 'in' when describing the location where someone was born. Example: I was born in Missouri.
1 during: 'During' indicates a period of time, and not a specific moment. Because the date of the grandmother's birth is precise, we cannot use 'during' here. However, we could say 'my grandmother was born during World War II'.
1 of: We cannot use 'of' here. 'Born of' is used rarely, usually in very literary, even poetic contexts.
2 in: 'Born' is followed by the post-position 'in' when describing a general time period. In this case, it tells us when (in which period) the grandmother was born (during the 19th century).
2 on: Born on cannot be used to describe an extended period of time. However, to refer to the date when someone is born, we use the post-position 'on' to follow 'born'. Example: I was born on the fourth of July.
2 at: We cannot use 'born at' to describe a general time period when someone was born. However, we could use it to describe a precise time. Example: I was born at 6:32 AM. We can also use 'born at' to describe a precise location where someone was born. Example: I was born at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
3 in: To refer to the city, (state, or country) in which someone is born, we use the post-position 'in' to follow 'born'. Example: He was born in Paris.
3 on: Born on cannot be used to describe the city (state or country) in which someone was born. However, to refer to the date when someone is born, we use the post-position 'on' to follow 'born'. Example: I was born on the fourth of July.
3 at: We cannot use 'born at' to describe the city in which someone was born. However, we could use it to describe a precise location where someone was born. Example: I was born at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
4 at: We can use 'born at' to describe a precise time when someone was born. Example: I was born at 6:32 AM. Note that we can also use 'born at' to describe a precise location where someone was born. Example: I was born at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
4 in: We don't use 'born in' to refer to specific times. However, 'born in' can describe longer, less specific periods of time. Example: I was born in the morning.
4 on: Born on cannot be used to describe the specific time when someone was born. However, to refer to the date when someone is born, we use the post-position 'on' to follow 'born'. Example: I was born on the fourth of July.

Let's help Pedro answer the questions the reporter has asked.
Fill in the first two blanks with the correct form of the verb, and the correct preposition in the third blank.
Hello, my name is Pedro Sanchez. I [not done] was born 1 in Mexico in 1963. I [not done] have been living 2 in the US for 3 20 years.
"To be born" comes from the verb "to bear 4."
Fill in the first two blanks with the correct form of the verb, and the correct preposition in the third blank.
Hello, my name is Pedro Sanchez. I [not done] was born 1 in Mexico in 1963. I [not done] have been living 2 in the US for 3 20 years.
"To be born" comes from the verb "to bear 4."
1 was born: This is the correct answer. In the expression "to be born", the past simple tense must be used: I was born in Mexico.
2 have been living: Because Pedro is still living in the US, we must use the present perfect progressive "have been living" to show the continuous time from past to present. The contracted form "I've" also works here. Note that either the present perfect progressive or present perfect are acceptable with the verbs "live" and "work", for example: I have been working / have worked in Paris for a long time.
3 for: This is correct. We use "for" when speaking about duration or "how long" something has lasted. For example: I have been living in Delhi FOR 5 months.
4 bear: This is correct. "To be born" derives from the verb "to bear", which has several meanings, of which "to give birth to" is one. Example: My grandmother bore 20 children in her lifetime. Note the irregular past form "bore" and the present participles "borne" (used in active constructions: she has borne 2 children at home) and "born" (used in passive constructions: Bruno was born in San Francisco).

1 birthday: A "birthday" refers to the date of one's birth! Amazing! The term can refer both to the date, as well as the celebration. Example: What are you doing for your birthday this year? In this text, we read that Clairette "gave birth" to a son. "To give birth" describes causing something or someone to be born: My wife gave birth to a horse yesterday, OR Karl Mark gave birth to Socialism.
2 born: "Born" comes from the verb "to bear", and is the past tense form of the verb. This verb is almost exclusively used in the passive voice, in the past tense form: I was born on December 31st, she was born two days later. A "birth" refers literally to the beginning of someone's life, and figuratively to the beginning of any event. Example: My entire family was present at the birth of my son. In the figurative sense: The birth of the Art Nouveau movement was in 1880.

Jean says I am born in... ninety... seventeen... eight. This isn't correct English!
Jean should really have said: I born in .
Jean should really have said: I born in .
Jean says I am born in... ninety... seventeen... eight. This isn't correct English!
Jean should really have said: I was 1 born in nineteen seventy-eight 2.
Jean should really have said: I was 1 born in nineteen seventy-eight 2.
1 was: "Was" is the correct answer here. We use the construction "I was born in 1922" to explain the year of our birth. To give the precise date, we say "I was born on June 11th, 1922". To give the place of our birth, we say "I was born in London".
1 am: This is grammatically incorrect. We do not use the present tense of the verb "to be" when talking about our birth.
1 were: This is grammatically incorrect. We say "they were born in 1962" and "we were born in the 1950s", but for the first person singular, we need "was", not "were".
1 is: This is grammatically incorrect. We do not use the present tense of the verb "to be" when talking about our birth. Moreover, the first person present tense of the verb "to be" is not "is"!
2 nineteen seventy-eight: This is the correct answer. The year Jean is trying to say is "nineteen seventy-eight". In English, years can be pronounced a few ways: by saying the first two digits (19 = "nineteen") and then the second two (78 = "seventy-eight"). More examples: 1642 = "sixteen forty-two", 1820 = "eighteen twenty". Since the year two thousand, we have been saying the whole number: 2008 = "two thousand and eight", etc, and sometimes breaking the year down in two distinct numbers: "twenty twelve" (2012), "twenty fifteen" (2015).
2 ninety seventy-eighth: This is grammatically incorrect, and could not be used to describe a year.
2 nineteen seventeen-eight: This is grammatically incorrect, and could not be used to describe a year.
