This is very dificult level. My score is 16/19. Here are my mistake:

1) Sorry, I forgot (buy) some milk. --> buying ---> to buy

5) Would you mind (I / close) the window? --> i close--> me closing

7) This soup doesn’t taste right yet. - Try (put) in a bit more salt. --> to put--> putting

The right answer is in bold.

Grammar: Verb pattern

After receiving my test's result today (34/60), i found that my grammar is a little bit weak, especially in verb pattern and filling the gap in a small paragraph. Some vocabularies i don't know how to use them in particular situation although i know the meaning of those words.

Here is my studying from that test:

Verb pattern:

- encourage someone to do something

- consider doing something

- advoid someone / doing something

- warn someone that

- insist on someone doing something / insist that

- threaten to do something

Expression/ unfimiliar verb/ useful phrase:

- to be over: finish (the party 's over)

to go over: to study or explain something
