Explanation: The sentence suggests that Jess currently plays her music too loudly in the evenings. To make a suggestion for improvement, we use the modal verb "should" followed by the base form of the verb "play." The adverb "more" is used to compare her current volume level with the desired lower volume level. "Quietly" is the comparative form of the adjective "quiet."
2. If we sell this apartment, we will miss living in it.
Explanation: The sentence talks about a hypothetical situation in the future. The "if" clause is written in the present simple tense ("We sell this apartment") to set up the condition. The main clause uses the modal verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb "miss." This implies that if the condition in the "if" clause is fulfilled, the result in the main clause will also occur.
3. Claire works harder than anyone else in the class.
Explanation: The sentence uses the comparative form of the adjective "hard" to compare Claire's level of hard work with the rest of the class. The word "than" is used to indicate the basis of comparison. The phrase "anyone else in the class" emphasizes that Claire's level of hard work is superior to all other students in the class.
4. If Kelly wins the lottery, she will give a lot of money to her friends.
Explanation: The sentence talks about a hypothetical situation in the future. The "if" clause is written in the present simple tense ("Kelly wins the lottery") to set up the condition. The main clause uses the modal verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb "give." This implies that if the condition in the "if" clause is fulfilled, the result in the main clause will also occur.
5. I won't go to bed this early if I'm not really tired.
Explanation: The sentence talks about a hypothetical situation in the present. The "if" clause is written in the present simple tense ("I'm not really tired") to set up the condition. The main clause uses the modal verb "won't" followed by the base form of the verb "go." This implies that if the condition in the "if" clause is not fulfilled, the result in the main clause will not occur.
