Homework Help: English

I still have a few doubts on sentences you checked yesterday.

1) I did/had/went for an interview. (Is "do" possible?)
2) I've just taken (done is a mistake) a grammar test.
3) I've just been tested orally in English.
4) I haven't taken an oral English test yet.

1. The verb do/did is not usually used with "interview" -- I think because it's unclear. If you did an interview, did you interview someone? Or did someone interview you??

Better to say/write one of these:
I had an interview...
I went for an interview ...
OR
I conducted an interview ...
I interviewed the applicant ...

2. Use "taken" -- "done" is not usually used in this way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. and 4. are fine.
