Brief Explanations

This is a vocabulary and grammar exercise related to life stages, events, and verb usage in the past simple. For question 1 (completing sentences with life stages):

  • "My mum is 50" → middle - aged (as 50 is a typical middle - aged age).
  • "My sister is 21" → in (her) early twenties (21 is in the early part of the twenties).
  • "My grandmother is 75" → elderly (75 is an elderly age).
  • "My sister - in - law is 28" → in (her) late twenties (28 is in the late part of the twenties).
  • "My aunt is 63" → in (her) sixties (63 is in the sixties age range).
  • "My cousin is in her mid - thirties" → about thirty - five (mid - thirties is around 35).
  • "My niece is eight" → a child (8 - year - old is a child).
  • "My other niece is fifteen" → a teenager (15 - year - old is a teenager).

For question 2 (matching verbs to phrases):

  • "change" matches "d career" (change career is a common phrase).
  • "get" matches "e a job" (get a job).
  • "learn" matches "a to swim" (learn to swim).
  • "leave" matches "c home" (leave home).
  • "live" matches "f house" (live in a house, but here "live" with "house" can be "live in a house", and the match is "f house").
  • "move" matches "c home"? No, correct match: "move" matches "c home"? Wait, no, "move" should match "c home"? No, "move" can match "c home" (move home) or "f house" (move house). Wait, the correct matches:
  • 1. change - d career
  • 2. get - e a job
  • 3. learn - a to swim
  • 4. leave - c home
  • 5. live - f house
  • 6. move - c home? No, maybe "move" - c home (move home) and "live" - f house (live in a house). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - check: "live" with "house" is "live in a house", so "live - f house". "move" can be "move home" (move - c home). "pass" - h your driving test (pass your driving test). "spend" - b time abroad (spend time abroad). "have" - g with a partner (have with a partner? No, "spend" - b time abroad, "have" - g with a partner? Wait, the verbs are 1 - 8: change, get, learn, leave, live, move, pass, spend. Phrases a - h: a to swim, b time abroad, c home, d career, e a job, f house, g with a partner, h your driving test. So correct matches:
  • 1. change - d career
  • 2. get - e a job
  • 3. learn - a to swim
  • 4. leave - c home
  • 5. live - f house
  • 6. move - c home? No, "move" should be "move - f house"? No, "move house" is a phrase, "move home" is also a phrase. Maybe the intended match for 6 is "move - f house" and 4 is "leave - c home". Then 7. pass - h your driving test, 8. spend - b time abroad.

For question 3 (completing phrases with verbs):

  • "____ your career" → choose (choose your career).
  • "____ university" → go to (go to university).
  • "____ a baby" → have (have a baby).
  • "____ married" → get (get married).
  • "____ home" → leave (leave home).

For question 4 (completing the article with past simple verbs):

  • "Bill Gates ____ computing when he was at high school" → took up (take up computing).
  • "But when he ____ school" → left (leave school, past simple left).
  • "he ____ to follow the same career as his father" → decided (decide to do, past simple decided).
  • "and he ____ to university to study Law" → went (go to university, past simple went).
  • "In 1977, he ____ his own company, Microsoft" → started (start a company, past simple started).
  • "The same year, he met his future wife, Melinda, and in 1994, they ____ married" → got (get married, past simple got).
  • "The couple ____ their first child in 1996" → had (have a child, past simple had).
  • "Today, Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world, although he ____ from his norm…
