1.      本題的含義也可以用完成時態的結構，意思為我的祖父已經離開家超過55年，more than也可以表示超過的含義，和時間長度連用不能用短暫動詞，可用be away來表示，故本題空格處填has been away from his hometown; more than。
2.      本題的含義也可以為自從我的祖父母結婚以來有50年，使用since從句，后跟一般過去時，故本題空格處填since my grandparents got married。
3.      本題的含義也可以表達為我的祖父自從上個星期一以來就一直在南京，主句應該使用完成時態的結構，故本題空格處填been in Nanjing。
4.      本題的含義也可以表示為我的祖父昨天完成直到很晚才去睡覺，not……until可以表示直到……才的含義，故本題空格處填didn’t，until。
5.      本題的含義為我的祖父花費了兩天的時間在城市的購物中心旅行，表示某人花費用spend，過去式為spent，在做某事上用doing，故本題空格處填spent，traveling。
