'Said' is used to report speech or thoughts, often followed by a 'that' clause (She said she wanted to come). 'Told' requires an object (told me, told him). 'Meant' refers to intention or significance. 'Said me' is grammatically incorrect.

For completed actions at a specific past time, we use the simple past tense (had). 'Have had' is present perfect, which connects past to present. 'Haved' is not a real word. 'Didn't had' is incorrect because after 'didn't' we use the base form 'have.'

For an action that was in progress when another action interrupted it, we use the past continuous tense (was watching). 'Watching' alone is incomplete. 'Have watched' is present perfect. 'Were watching' would require 'you' as the subject, not 'I'.

To solve this question, the user needs to have knowledge of prepositions and their usage.

The blank space in the sentence requires a preposition that indicates the direction of the shop relative to the street.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. "at": This preposition is not the best fit for the sentence because it doesn't clearly indicate the direction of the shop. It can be used to indicate a location, but the sentence requires a preposition that shows direction. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

B. "in": This preposition doesn't indicate the direction of the shop. It is used to indicate that something is inside a location or an object. Therefore, option B is incorrect.

C. "on": This preposition is commonly used to indicate the position of something on a surface. It can also be used to indicate a direction that is along a road or path. In this sentence, "on" is the most suitable preposition as it indicates the direction of the shop relative to the street. Therefore, option C is correct.

D. "over": This preposition means "above" or "higher than". It doesn't indicate the direction of the shop relative to the street. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

The Answer is: C.

For questions about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now with relevance to the present, we use present perfect (Have you finished). 'Did you finish' is simple past, used for specific past times. 'Had you finished' is past perfect, used for earlier past.

Just a moment indicates an immediate future action. The speaker is making a spontaneous offer to make a sandwich, which uses will for instant decisions. I'm making would mean it's already in progress, and I'm going to make suggests a pre-planned action.

Writes is a verb, so it must be modified by an adverb, not an adjective. Well is the adverb form meaning in a good manner. Good is an adjective and cannot modify verbs. Better would require a comparison context.

Next to is the correct prepositional phrase for showing one location beside another. Near does not use of, and close requires to when followed by a location. Next alone does not specify position relative to another object.

The response describes physical appearance. What does he look like asks about appearance. What is he like asks about personality or character, not physical traits. What does he seem would need like to describe qualities.

The verb ask is followed by an object pronoun and then the infinitive form: ask someone TO DO something. Help alone would need for after ask. Helping is incorrect structure, and helped does not fit the pattern.
