1. Choose the correct form of the verb in the following subordinate clause: - She said that she __________ (go/went) to the store later. 2. Which of the following subordinate clauses is

She said that she went to the store later.

• Explanation: The verb in a reported speech should generally match the tense of the original speech. Since the original speech (implied) is in the past, the past simple tense “went” is correct.

The correct answer is:

• b) The reason why he was late is that his car broke down.
• Explanation: A noun clause functions as a noun in a sentence, and it can act as the subject, object, or complement. In this case, “The reason why he was late” is the subject of the sentence.

The correct answer is:

• I
• Explanation: The conjunction “but” is used to introduce a contrast. Since the subject “I” is already mentioned, it is more natural to use “I” again to maintain consistency and clarity.

The correct answer is:

• that
• Explanation: In relative clauses, “that” is often used to introduce a relative clause that modifies a noun. “Which” can also be used, but “that” is more common in this context.

The correct answer is:

• a) He told me that he would come.
• Explanation: An adverbial clause of time provides information about when an action occurs. In this case, “He told me that he would come” gives information about the time of the action (he would come).
