Choose forms that fit the situation: past simple or present perfect, ways of talking about the future, modal verbs and common conditional patterns.

Yes. Return to the test page to begin another attempt. Try again after reviewing the topic, and combine these exercises with reading, listening and your own use of English rather than judging progress from one score.
