He ____ (just/arrive) at the party when the music stopped.

Why is this sentence incorrect? → "I have seen him yesterday."

I (have been/had been) to this museum three times.

Each player must choose a color: blue, green, yellow or pink. He/she gets a tile to mark his/her position and 10 houses to indicate the properties he/she acquires during the game. Each player must take the tile of his/her color and place it on the starting square. To start playing, click on the dice and move your piece to the corresponding square. In each square there must be one or more questions. If you get it right, place one of your houses on that square - congratulations, you have a new property! Special squares: the squares with icons contain penalties such as "Player pays electricity tax: loses 2 houses". Get the question right to avoid the penalty! The player who has the highest number of houses on the board once all the squares are occupied wins.
