Match the halves of the sentences. Listen and check.

Exercise 1: Matching Sentences

Here are the matched halves of the sentences:

• The very first tennis racket was made in 1874 in London.


• The first FIFA match was played in 1930.


• The first bike was invented in India.


• The first Olympic Games were constructed in 1817.


• The Quidditch game was held in Athens in 1896.


• Chess was created by J.K. Rowling.

Note: The provided image shows a matching exercise. The task is to connect the first part of a sentence (left column) with its correct ending (right column). The pairings above are based on common knowledge and the visual layout of the exercise, assuming a standard textbook format.

The matches are as follows:

• A played in 1930


• B made in 1874 in London


• C created by J.K. Rowling


• D invented in India


• E constructed in 1817


• F held in Athens in 1896

Therefore, the complete sentences are:

• The very first tennis racket was made in 1874 in London. (Match: + racket -> B)


• The first FIFA match was played in 1930. (Match: The first FIFA match -> A)


• The first bike was invented in India. (Match: The first bike -> D)


• The first Olympic Games were constructed in 1817. (Match: The first Olympic Games -> E)


• The Quidditch game was held in Athens in 1896. (Match: The Quidditch game -> F)


• Chess was created by J.K. Rowling. (Match: Chess was -> C)

Additionally, the question '? bike made of wood?' is not a sentence fragment to be matched but a question that likely relates to the 'bike' item. The answer would be a description of a wooden bike if such information were provided or requested.

The terms 'singular' and 'plural' in the 'Grammar Box' are grammatical categories, likely used in a separate exercise or for reference.

The Olympic Games held in Rome are mentioned, but not as a sentence fragment to be matched in this exercise.
