## Question

g. More than one student ............ playing. (is, are)
h. The Prime Minister and Chancellor ............ coming. (is, are)
i. It's time you ............ those trousers. (wash, washed)
j. I wish I ............ meet her. (should, would)

## Short answer

a) will be, b) were, c) with, d) with, e) Let him be heard now, f) Who helped whom, g) is, h) is, i) washed, j) would

## Answer

a. **will be**: "Should you do it" is an inverted conditional (a possible future), so the result uses "will".
b. **were**: an unreal condition ("If she were you") uses "were".
c. **with**: "part with" something means to give it up.
d. **with**: "provide someone with something".
e. **Let him be heard now**: the imperative passive uses "let ... be + past participle".
f. **Who helped whom**: the simple past active form of the passive question.
g. **is**: "More than one" is followed by a singular noun and a singular verb.
h. **is**: the article "The" is used only once, before "Prime Minister", so "Prime Minister and Chancellor" refers to one person holding both posts, and the verb is singular. (If two people were meant, it would be "The Prime Minister and the Chancellor are coming".)
i. **washed**: "It's time you ..." takes the past form for a present action.
j. **would**: of the two options, "would" is the accepted answer for a wish about the future. (In modern English, "I wish I could meet her" is the most natural form.)
