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.

Remember that there may be more than one correct answer!
Bethany does not advise Philip to include this notice. In fact, she tells him to state that he has the "intention to commence legal action against the debtor". This legal action has not yet begun, although it will if the situation is not resolved.
Philip should include this information in his letter. Bethany tells Philip to note "the total amount owed to (his) company", referring to the full amount of money that the client needs to pay. To "owe (Bruno some money)" means to "be in debt (to Bruno)" or to "need to pay (Bruno)". A "figure" is a value expressed in numbers, e.g. 64, or 456,061.
This is one of the things Philip should include in his letter. Bethany says that the letter "should detail all prior communication that (Philip has) had with the client". This means that Philip should include a list of the contact he has had with his difficult client. "Prior (correspondence)" refers to "past" or "previous" correspondence. This may include letters, emails, faxes, or phone calls.
Philip should include this in his letter. Bethany tells him to include "the outstanding invoices", which means that Philip should send the clients copies of the bills which have not yet been paid. An "outstanding bill" is money owed for goods or services, which remains to be paid.

This word refers to a type of small, oval fruit. It comes in red and white varieties, and is used to make wine. "I love grapes 1. They're my favourite fruit."

1 grapes: "Grapes" is the right answer here. Grapes are the tasty little egg-shaped fruits that are used to make wine. They're very good for you!
2 begin: "Begin" is the correct answer. To "begin (to cry)" is to "start crying". Example: "Please begin writing when I shout 'now!". Note that this is an irregular verb: begin/began/begun.
3 agree: "Agree" is the best choice to complete this sentence. We say that we "agree with someone" when we share the same opinion as them. Example: "Lucy agrees with me that Tony Bear is very silly". Note that "to agree to something" is to accept it. Example: "Bruno agreed to the new contract after ten minutes of doubt".

I had barely started reading your email...

I had barely started reading your email...
Another way of saying this is:
Another way of saying this is:
This is not correct."Barely" and "looking forward to (doing something)" are unrelated expressions. "To look forward (to reading a letter)" is to anticipate it with pleasure.
This is not correct. To be "(about) to do something" expresses the idea of an imminent action; something which you will do almost immediately. Example: I was just about to call you when the alarm rang.
This is correct. The adverb "barely" has a few meanings, but here it means "just" or "by very little (time)". In this sentence, it expresses that Bruno had just started (or "begun") reading Hannah's email before he started laughing.
This is not correct. The term "barely" is unrelated to a desire or "wanting" to do something!

Every Friday, Luna DeLune a staff meeting with the rest of the managers of the company and is always on time. The meetings used to on Wednesdays, but when Luna her yoga classes last summer, she asked that the staff meetings rescheduled.
Conjugate the verbs below correctly.
Every Friday, Luna DeLune [not done] attends 1 a staff meeting with the rest of the managers of the company and is always on time. The meetings used to [not done] take place 2 on Wednesdays, but when Luna [not done] began 3 her yoga classes last summer, she asked that the staff meetings [not done] be 4 rescheduled.
Every Friday, Luna DeLune [not done] attends 1 a staff meeting with the rest of the managers of the company and is always on time. The meetings used to [not done] take place 2 on Wednesdays, but when Luna [not done] began 3 her yoga classes last summer, she asked that the staff meetings [not done] be 4 rescheduled.
1 attends: 'To attend' should be put in the simple present tense form. We use this tense to express the idea of a regular or repeated action: Luna attends a staff meeting every Friday.
2 take place: When followed by a verb in its infinitive form (without 'to'), 'used to' indicates a regular or habitual action in the past. Here, the expression is used to indicate that staff meetings were held or took place on Wednesdays in the past, (now they are held on Fridays).
3 began: The simple past tense is used to describe a single completed action which took place in the past. Here the phrase 'last summer' signals the need for the simple past tense. The verb 'to begin' is irregular: begin/began/begun.
4 be: 'She asked that...' is a construction which must be followed by a verb in the subjunctive present tense, (identical to the infinitive form of the verb without 'to'). We use the subjunctive present to indicate that one action is uncertain or contingent upon another, or that an action is unreal or hypothetical. Some examples of verbs which are frequently used to form the subjunctive present tense: to insist, to ask, to suggest, to require, to be necessary.
