A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: In the 'Free time 1b' section, the first sentence describing Happy Harry's routine states: 'On Saturday, Harry gets up at eight o'clock.' This confirms 'gets up' is used to complete the sentence.

Question 2: Which sentence correctly places the adverb of frequency 'often' in relation to the activity 'goes to bed late'?

A. Banjo often goes to bed late.

B. Banjo goes often to bed late.

C. Often Banjo goes to bed late.

D. Banjo goes to bed often late.

Explanation: According to the 'Adverbs of frequency' section, adverbs of frequency are typically placed before the main verb, or after 'to be'. The example 'Banjo goes to bed late. (often)' correctly demonstrates placing 'often' before the main verb 'goes', resulting in 'Banjo often goes to bed late.'

Question 3: The correct phrase for 'go / bed' requires no additional word, making it simply 'go bed'.

A. Ano

B. Ne
