My daughter hates exams. She .......... worry before her exam results.

Question

A) is used to

B) used to

C) never use to

D) uses to

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) used to.

The explanation is as follows:

A) is used to

it includes 'is' (present tense) and 'used to' (past tense) together, making it grammatically incorrect.

C) never use to

includes 'never' and thus makes the exact opposite point to the one we want to convey, plus 'use to' is grammatically incorrect as 'use' (present tense) would never be used before a verb like this, it is always 'used to' that conveys a habit/recurring action in the past. 'Use' in the present tense is never followed by 'to' and is used to talk about 'the use' of the word following it, even if it is a verb, like a noun.

D) uses to

includes 'uses' which is again in the present tense and would not be used before a verb, as described before.

The perfect answer would be 'worries', making the sentences 'My daughter hates exams. She worries before her exam results'. This would explain the meaning of the sentences as 'She worries before her exam results because she hates exams.' 'Worries' and 'hates' are both in the present tense and show correct parallelism. Because this is not in the options, the best answer is B) used to which is the only grammatically correct option. This, however, slightly changes the meaning of the sentences to 'My daughter hates exams (in the present) because she used to worry (in the past) before her exam results.'

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D) uses to

So the sentence will be: "My daughter hates exams. She uses to worry before her exam results."

The above sentence also means "My daughter hates exams. She worries before her exam results."

Both verbs "hates" and "uses" are in the same present tense and has the correct parallelism.

Answer 3

“She is used to worry…” is grammatically incorrect.

Answer 4

A) is used to

Here's why:

1. "Is used to" refers to a habit or behavior that happens in the present and likely continues. This aligns with the daughter consistently hating exams.
2. "Used to" indicates a habit or behavior that happened in the past but doesn't necessarily continue now. We don't know if her feelings about exams have changed.
3. "Never used to" suggests the opposite of the current situation, which isn't the case.
4. "Uses to" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form is "is used to" for the present tense.

Therefore, "is used to" best reflects the ongoing nature of your daughter's dislike for exams and potential worry about results.
