1 have been staying: Because we are talking about "the past several days", we know that this action began in the past and continues into the present, so we must use the present perfect progressive tense (has been staying). The present perfect progressive (or continuous) tense describes an action which began in the past and continues into the present.
1 am staying: This is incorrect. We do not use the present progressive tense for events that started in the past and continue up to the present. The present progressive is generally used the present progressive tense is used to describe actions in progress.
1 stay: This is incorrect. We do not use the present simple tense for events that started in the past and continue up to the present. The present simple is generally used for habitual actions.
2 for: The preposition "for" can be used to indicate a general period of time that is finished or still continuing, or the duration which something lasted. Example: "I have been living in New York for years, for months, for weeks," etc.
2 since: "Since" is grammatically incorrect here. "Since" isn't used to describe the duration of time, but rather to indicate when an action began. Example: I have loved watching trains since I was five years old.
2 during: "During", similar to the terms "while" and "throughout", is used to link an action with an event, for example: During my first year of university, I ate very little. "During" cannot be used to indicate the duration of an action.
3 homesick: "Homesick" is a state of depression by being away from one's family/home/country. Example: I went to North Korea for a year, after 2 days I was very homesick and missed my family.
3 nostalgic: Although some people will say that to be "nostalgic" is synonymous with "homesick", the term most commonly describes a desire to experience events and see people from the past.
3 missful: There is no such term as "missful" in English!
4 roommate: A "roommate" is someone that you share a room with. Masaki is Jean's roommate because they are both sleeping in the same room, in fact they are sleeping in the same bed!
4 tenant: This is incorrect. A "tenant" is someone that pays rent to use or live in a building, or other property owned by another person.
4 spouse: This is incorrect. The term "spouse" refers to either a "husband" or a "wife", that is to say one partner within a marriage.
5 made: This is correct. We usually use the verb "to make" for food and drinks.
5 did: This is incorrect. We say "to make food" and not "to do food". In English, the verb "to do" generally refers to chores and tasks: to do the dishes, to do one's homework.
5 cook: This is incorrect. Although "to cook food" is to prepare it for consumption, we cannot use this verb in the present tense. The present tense refers to habitual actions, here we need to use the preterit tense ("cooked" or "made").
6 disgusting: This is correct. A "disgusting (meal)" tastes repulsive or very bad. "Disgusting" shares similar meanings with the following adjectives: foul, repulsive, revolting, gross.
6 disgusted: This is not correct. To be "disgusted" is to be shocked or sickened. Example: 'I am disgusted by your refusal to allow me two hours off work to attend my mother's funeral.
6 disgusts me: This is incorrect. We can say that the "food disgusts me" but not the "food is disgusts me".
7 I miss your terrine de pigeon: The verb "to miss" has several meanings in English, however in this context, it means to "remember with affection" or "to feel the absence" of someone. If Jean misses his parents, then he is regretting their absence.
7 your terrine de pigeon misses me: This is incorrect. In English, the expression "to miss someone" is always used in the active sense: it is I that misses YOU. The passive construction "you are missed" is much less common.
7 your terrine de pigeon was missing: This is incorrect. If an object "is missing" it cannot be found, or is lost.
8 went: This sentence is preceded by the time expression "yesterday", therefore the past simple (preterit) tense must be used.
8 have been: This is incorrect. The present perfect tense is not used to describe past events that are completed.
8 have gone: This is incorrect. The present perfect tense is not used to describe past events that are completed.
9 to: Jean is telling his parents that he went "to" Newquay. "To" is the best choice because the verb "to go" carries the idea of movement, and the preposition "to" indicates the object or destination of this movement.
9 at: This is incorrect. The preposition "at" is not generally used after the verb "to go" to express an idea of movement. We do not "go at" a town, we "go to" a town.
9 in: This is incorrect. The preposition "in" is not generally used after the verb "to go" to express an idea of movement. We do not "go in" a town, we "go to" a town.
10 drove: The verb "to drive" is irregular: drive / drove / have driven. Because this event occurred yesterday, the preterit tense must be used: Mrs. Brady drove her car.
10 drived: This is incorrect. The verb "to drive" is not regular. Its past form is "drove" not "drived".
10 driven: This is incorrect. We do not use the past participle form of the verb "to drive" to describe completed actions in the past. Its past form is "drove" not "driven".
11 wrong: This is the correct answer. Something that is wrong is not correct or accurate. Example: My answer to this question is wrong. Jean says that Mrs. Brady drives on the wrong side of the road: In the UK, people drive on the left hand side of the road, which differs from other countries in Europe.
11 bad: This is incorrect. Wrong should not be confused with with bad (which describes something of poor quality, or is evil). Right/wrong have different meanings to good/bad.
11 worse: This is incorrect. Using the comparative form of bad (worse) is grammatically incorrect.
12 go surfing: This is correct. To describe doing activities and sports, we generally use the verb "to go" + ING. Example: Last week, I went skiing in the Alps.
12 do surf: This is incorrect. We do not use this form to describe doing activities.
12 be surfing: This is incorrect. We do not use this form to describe doing activities.
13 many: We use "many" to describe countable nouns, such as "monsters".
13 much: This is incorrect. We use "much" to describe uncountable nouns like "interest".
13 a lot: This is incorrect. "A lot" would be correct if "of" preceded the countable noun "monsters".
14 ate: The verb "to eat" is irregular: eat / ate / have eaten. Because this event occurred yesterday, the preterit tense must be used: Masaki ate Jean's sandwiches.
14 eated: This is incorrect. The verb "to eat" is not regular. Its past form is "ate" not "eated".
14 eight: This is incorrect. The term "eight" is the written form of the number "8", bad mistake!
15 threw: The verb "to throw" is irregular: throw / threw / have thrown. Because this event occurred yesterday, the preterit tense must be used: Masaki threw a stone.
15 throwed: This is incorrect. The verb "to throw" is not regular. Its past form is "threw" not "throwed".
15 through: This is incorrect. As a preposition of place, "through" indicates movement in and out of a location, or entering one side and exiting out the other. It shares the same pronunciation as "threw" but has a completely different meaning!
16 coming: This is correct. To "look forward to (doing something)" is to be excited and impatient about it or to anticipate it with pleasure. Jean is impatient about returning to France.
16 come: This is incorrect. The idiom "to look forward to" is always followed by a noun or the verb in the ING form.
16 came: This is incorrect. The idiom "to look forward to" is always followed by a noun or the verb in the ING form.

1 Throw: "To throw" means to launch or propel with your hands, generally an object such as a ball. In this context, however, it means to raise your hands into the air, or "wave them" over your head.
2 assets: "Assets" describe items capable of generating income. These could be cash, property (real estate) or machines for example. A "liquid asset" can be converted into cash with minimum time. Metals such as gold and silver are examples of liquid assets.
3 divide: The verb "to divide" means to "split" or "separate" into smaller parts. It is also a mathematical function. Icarus plans on "dividing" or "separating" the money into three thirds and investing or placing a third in different ways.
4 thirds: "A third" or "one third" is 1/3; a fraction equivalent to .33333. Icarus plans to divide the 1.2 million dollars he has found into "thirds" (or increments of 400,000 dollars) and place or invest each third differently.
5 fees: A "fee" refers to the cost of a service. Example: Lawyers charge large fees for their services, and bankers charge fees for transactions. In this verse, Icarus encourages Bruno to put a third of the 1.2 million dollars into a savings account which does not charge any "fees" or "charges".
