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.

Sigourney says that Delavigne Corp is "known for its numerous eco-friendly initiatives".
This means that the company is for its many actions.
This means that the company is for its many actions.
Sigourney says that Delavigne Corp is "known for its numerous eco-friendly initiatives".
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
1 renowned: "Renowned" is the right answer here. To be "known for" something is to be "renowned" or "famous" for something one does. Example: "Philip is known for his love of flirting".
1 infamous: This is not the best choice. To be "infamous for" something is to have a bad reputation because of it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 praised: This is not the best choice. To be "praised" for something is to be "congratulated" for it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 controversial: This is not the best choice. To be "controversial" is to be "unusual", or the subject of much debate. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
2 green: "Green" is the best answer here. The term "eco-friendly" is short for "environmentally-friendly", and describes someone or something which is "good for the environment". The term "green" shares a similar meaning. Example: "I dream of living in an eco-friendly house, where everything runs on green energy".
2 open-minded: This is not the right choice here. To be "open-minded" is to be "accepting" or unafraid of new ideas. This does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 amicable: This is not the right choice here. "Amicable" shares a similar meaning with "friendly", but you forgot about the important "eco(logically)" part! "Amicable" does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 money-saving: This is not the right choice here. A "money-saving" action will preserve cash, but it does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly", which refers to saving the environment.
Esercizio 4
Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb:

Once I had the package, I it was too late. I had with many boyfriends before, but I had never it upon myself to send them a box full of voodoo dolls until then.
Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb:
Once I had [not done] sent 1 the package, I [not done] knew 2 it was too late. I had [not done] broken up 3 with many boyfriends before, but I had never [not done] taken 4 it upon myself to send them a box full of voodoo dolls until then.
Once I had [not done] sent 1 the package, I [not done] knew 2 it was too late. I had [not done] broken up 3 with many boyfriends before, but I had never [not done] taken 4 it upon myself to send them a box full of voodoo dolls until then.
1 sent: Because the main verb (to send) is preceded by the preterit auxiliary 'had', we must use the past perfect tense (I had sent), which uses the past participle form of the main verb (sent). The past perfect tense is used to situate one past action which occurred before another.
2 knew: We often use the simple past tense to complete constructions which use the past perfect tense. Here the first verb (had sent) tells us about a past action which was done before the second action (knowing it was to late).
3 broken up: Because the main verb (to break up) is preceded by the preterit auxiliary 'had', we must use the past perfect tense (I had broken up), which uses the past participle form (broken). 'To break up' is a phrasal verb meaning to end a romantic relationship. The past perfect tense is used to situate one past action which occurred before another.
4 taken: Because the main verb (to take) is preceded by the preterit auxiliary 'had', we must use the past perfect tense (I had taken), which uses the past participle form (taken). 'To take (something) upon oneself' means to take some initiative or to charge oneself with a task.
