Answer: C) We have a meeting twice a month.

Explanation: The words "in a" are incorrect when stating frequency. The correct structure is "twice a month," "two times a week," or "once a day." Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.

Note: It is also correct and natural to say: “"We have a meeting two times a week."“

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

A) I go to the gym two times in a week.
B) I visit my family twice in a year.
C) We have a meeting twice a month.
D) She calls me one time in a day.

Answer: C) loyal

Explanation: We use "loyal" to describe people, pets, or customers who show steady and constant support. "Faithful" is typically used in the context of romantic relationships and not being unfaithful.

A customer who always buys coffee from the same café is a ______ customer.

A) faithful
B) plug in
C) loyal
D) unplugged

Answer: A) You need to plug it in.

Explanation: "Plug in" is a separable phrasal verb. When we use a pronoun like "it," the pronoun must be placed in the middle: "plug it in." "Plug in it" is grammatically incorrect.

A) You need to plug it in.

D) You need to be loyal to it.

Answer: C) faithful

Explanation: We use the word "faithful" specifically to describe someone who does not cheat on their romantic partner. We use the preposition "to," as in "faithful to his wife." While "loyal" is similar, it is not the specific term used for marital fidelity.

If a man does not cheat on his wife, he is ______ to her.

Which sentence has the correct pronunciation for the past action?

A) She plug it in.
B) She plugged it in.
C) She plug in it.
D) She faithful it.

Answer: C) twice a week

Explanation: The correct preposition for expressing frequency is "a," not "in" or "at." Both "twice a week" and "two times a week" are correct, but "twice a week" is more common. Since "two times a week" was not an option, C is the best answer.

How do you correctly express that an event happens two times every seven days?
