Mastering Present Simple Negative Forms Quiz - Quiz

This educational activity focuses on mastering the use of negative forms in the simple present tense. It assesses the ability to construct grammatically correct sentences that negate actions or states, enhancing foundational English grammar skills crucial for effective communication.

2. The man _______________ wash the clothes.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'DOESN'T' as it is the appropriate form of the verb for the subject 'The man'. The verb 'wash' requires the auxiliary 'does' in this case.

Submit
3. They _______________ride a motorcycle.

Explanation

In this sentence, the correct form to use with 'they' is 'DOESN'T' because 'they' is a plural third-person subject requiring the singular third-person form of the verb 'to ride.'

Submit
4. We _______________wait for a taxi.       DOESN'T / DON'T.

Explanation

The correct answer here is 'DON'T' as it is the appropriate verb form for the subject 'We'. 'DOESN'T' is incorrect as it is used for third person singular subjects. 'AREN'T' and 'CAN'T' are also not suitable verb forms for this context.

The correct form is 'DOESN'T' which is the contraction for 'DOES NOT'.

Submit

Explanation

The correct verb form for the subject 'I' is 'don't' which is the contraction of 'do not'. 'Doesn't', 'won't', and 'can't' are incorrect choices as they do not match the subject-verb agreement.
