Answer
a) Putting words in correct order
i)
A stitch in time saves nine.
ii)
It takes two to make a quarrel.
b) Rewriting sentences with correct verb tense
i)
We **got** up at 4:30 yesterday morning.
Explanation: The sentence refers to a completed action in the past, so the simple past tense of "get" is used.
ii)
Time and tide **wait** for none.
Explanation: This is a general truth, so the simple present tense is used.
iii)
When **will** the new routine **come** into effect?
Explanation: The question is about a future event, so the future simple tense ("will + base verb") is used.
iv)
We **had** our meal at college when we **were** at college.
Explanation:
- "Had" is the past perfect tense (action completed before another past action).
- "Were" is the simple past tense (describing a state in the past).
v)
Listen! Someone **is knocking** at the gate.
Explanation: The action is happening now (present continuous tense) because of the command "Listen!"
vi)
We must **submit** our assignment in time.
Explanation: The sentence expresses a general obligation (no change in tense needed).
