Hi,

The sentence should read: You can't go yet (because understood) I haven't finished ...

What you are thinking of is: You can't go until I have finished ... which is a different sentence and 'finished' is negative in the original sentence.

Hi, Alan.

I am quite confused by the word " pain" used in this test. I don't really know how to decide either singular form or plural form should be used.
In this test, the word " pain" has appeared quite a few times. There are in question no2: have been in "a lot of pain" , no6: "the pain" in my back, no8: mustn't forget "the pains" in my feet; no10: I haven't described my "other pains".
So, can you please make it clear for me?
