7. 飲みものは_____
です。
a.
__X___ たのんだ
です does not follow ANY
form of verbal. The correct form is 飲み物はたのみました。 “I
ordered drinks.”
b.
__X___ もう
もう is a dependent nominal,
and it is not used with です ending. It has to be
used like 飲み物はもうたのみました “ I already ordered drinks,” 飲み物はもういりません “I don’t need
drinks any more,” etc.
c.
__X___ さむい
さむい”cold” indicates uncomfortably
cold air temperature. つめたい should be used for cold objects. Thus, the correct form is 飲み物はつめたいです。”The

“The drinks haven’t come yet.”
Note that,
unlike もう, まだ is used as an independent nominal,
meaning “Not yet.”

e.g.子どもに（が）英語が読めますかねえ。”I wonder
if English is readable for a child/if a child can read English.”

The object
of the potential from食べられる can be marked with either を or が, not に. The correct

かもしれない directly follows
Nominal (when it is imperfective affirmative) Therefore, the correct form

you want to say, “S/he may have been healthy”, then けんこうだったかもしれません is the right answer.
