The rule for question tags in English is that a positive statement in the present simple tense requires a negative tag using the 'do' auxiliary. The verb 'live' is in the present simple affirmative form. Therefore, to form the tag, we use the negative auxiliary 'don't' followed by the subject pronoun 'you'. This serves to confirm the speaker's assumption about where the listener resides.

This question tests the structure of indirect questions (noun clauses). In a direct question, we use inversion (e.g., 'When will the food be ready?'). however, when the question is embedded within another statement or command as an object, it follows a standard declarative word order (subject + verb). Therefore, 'when the food' (subject) should be followed by 'will be ready' (verb phrase). Option C correctly avoids the inversion found in direct questions.

This sentence requires a verb in the past tense to agree with the temporal marker 'as a child', which refers to a completed period in the past. The subject 'your favourite food' is singular; therefore, the singular past tense form of the verb 'to be' is required. Using 'was' correctly establishes the state of being in the past, whereas 'will' and 'would' refer to future or conditional states, and 'where' is an adverb of place rather than a verb.

In English grammar, when offering help or making a suggestion, the modal verb 'shall' is traditionally used with the first-person singular pronoun 'I'. 'Shall I' is a polite and standard way to propose an action for the benefit of someone else. While 'Will I' might be used in some informal contexts, it often implies a question about one's own future actions or certainty rather than a voluntary offer of assistance.

This sentence requires an object pronoun to follow the preposition 'to'. Since the antecedent is 'Mr. Bobo', a male person, we must use the masculine third-person singular object pronoun. 'He' and 'she' are subject pronouns, and 'it' is used for non-human entities. Therefore, 'him' is the grammatically correct choice to complete the instruction.

The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed using the auxiliary 'have' plus the past participle of the main verb. The verb 'to read' is irregular; while its pronunciation changes from /riːd/ in the present to /red/ in the past, its spelling remains 'read' in both the past simple and past participle forms. 'Readed' is an incorrect formation, and 'red' is a colour, not a verb.

The phrasal verb 'look forward to' is a fixed expression where 'to' is a preposition, not part of an infinitive. In English, prepositions must be followed by a noun or a gerund (the -ing form of a verb). Therefore, the correct structure is 'looking forward to' + 'going'. Using the base form 'go' or the past participle 'gone' after the preposition 'to' in this context is grammatically incorrect.

In the context of the present perfect tense, 'already' is used to emphasize that an action has been completed at some point before the present time, often sooner than expected. 'Yet' is typically used in questions or negative sentences to talk about something expected. Since the speaker is confirming the completion of the task in an affirmative response, 'already' is the appropriate adverb to place between the auxiliary 'have' and the past participle 'done'.

The verb 'forget' can be followed by a gerund (-ing form) when referring to a memory of a past event. In this context, the speaker is recalling the experience of witnessing Rosa's victory. The use of 'seeing' functions as the object of the verb 'forget', describing the action that remains vivid in the speaker's mind. Using the infinitive 'to see' would imply forgetting to perform a future task, which does not fit the retrospective nature of this statement.

In English, the word 'back' is frequently used as an adverb to refer to a point in the past relative to the present time. 'Months back' is an idiomatic expression synonymous with 'months ago'. The term 'backward' refers to physical direction rather than time, and 'since' requires a specific starting point (e.g., since January), making 'months back' the only grammatically and contextually appropriate choice for indicating how long ago the call should have occurred.
