• This film is more exciting that the last one.
• This film is excitinger than the last one.
• This film is the more exciting of last one.

Long adjectives form the comparative with 'more' + adjective + 'than', giving 'more exciting than'.

Choose the correct tense: "While I ______ television last night, the electricity suddenly went off."

• watched
• was watching
• have watched
• watch

Answer: was watching

The past continuous 'was watching' describes an action in progress interrupted by a shorter past simple action ('went off').

Which '-ed' vs '-ing' adjective is correct? "The ending of the series was completely ______; nobody expected it."

• surprised
• surprising
• surprise
• surprises

Answer: surprising

'-ing' adjectives describe the thing causing the feeling; the ending causes surprise, so it is 'surprising' (a person would feel 'surprised').

Choose the correct article: "We watched ______ unforgettable performance at the theatre yesterday."

• a
• an
• the
• no article

Answer: an

'Unforgettable' begins with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article 'an' is used.

Choose the correct word: "The play was performed on ______ in front of a live audience."

• screen
• stage
• channel
• page

Answer: stage

A live theatre performance takes place on 'stage'; 'screen' relates to film and 'channel' to broadcasting.

Choose the correct option: 'The documentary is well worth ___, even if the subject sounds dry.'

• to watch
• watching
• watch
• to be watched

Answer: watching

'Worth' behaves like a preposition here and takes the -ing form: worth watching, worth reading, worth seeing. 'Worth to watch' is a very frequent learner error.
