Soal A

1. After John eaten dinner, he wrote  several letters and went to bed.
                        A                       B                 C                           D
    Discussion : The correct answer is A.eaten. It should be “had eaten”, because that sentence used past perfect tense. The sentence is past perfect tense because it is relating two events which happen in the past, one action occurred before another or an action finishes before another action. And the pattern is Subject+had+V3. So the right sentence is:

After John had eaten dinner, he wrote several letters and went to bed.

Soal B

6. She won’t  be going to the conference, and neither won’t  her colleagues.
  A             B                                                  C                      D
    Discussion : The correct answer is C.neither won’t. It should be “neither will”. Because, neither is the negative form, so that sentence should be “neither will”. When a clause with neither or nor is used after a negative clause, we invert the subject and the verb after neither and nor (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/questions-and-negative-sentences/neither-neither-nor-and-not-either)


Soal C

    Discussion : The correct answer is A.already saw. It should be “had already seen”. Because, that sentence used past perfect tense. The sentence is past perfect tense because it is relating two events which happen in the past, one action occurred before another or an action finishes before another action. And the pattern is Subject+had+V3. So the right sentence is:

Peter had already seen that musical before he read the reviews about it.
