1. She ___ (go) to school every day.

Explanation

In the sentence "She ___ (go) to school every day," the verb "go" needs to be conjugated to match the subject "She," which is third person singular. In English, the present simple tense for third person singular subjects typically requires adding an "s" or "es" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, "go" changes to "goes" when referring to "she," indicating a habitual action that occurs regularly.

2. I ___ (see) him yesterday.

Explanation

The sentence requires the simple past tense of the verb "see" to describe an action that occurred at a specific time in the past, indicated by "yesterday." In English, the simple past form of "see" is "saw." Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is "I saw him yesterday," which accurately conveys that the speaker witnessed or met him on the previous day.

Submit

3. They ___ (watch) TV now.

Explanation

The sentence uses the present continuous tense to indicate an action that is currently happening. "They" is the subject, and "are watching" combines the present tense form of "to be" (are) with the present participle of the verb "watch" (watching). This construction emphasizes that the action of watching TV is taking place at this very moment.

Submit

4. We ___ (travel) to Turkey next summer.

Explanation

In this sentence, "will travel" is used to indicate a future action that is planned or decided. The future simple tense is appropriate here because it expresses an intention or a decision made at the moment of speaking about a trip to Turkey next summer. This construction is commonly used for predictions or plans that are not yet definite but are expected to happen.

Submit

5. He ___ (live) here since 2020.

Explanation

The present perfect tense "has lived" is used to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present. In this case, the use of "since 2020" specifies the starting point of the action, emphasizing that the person began living there in 2020 and still lives there now. This construction effectively connects the past with the present, making it the appropriate choice for the sentence.

Submit

6. She don’t like coffee.

Explanation

The statement "She don’t like coffee" indicates a personal preference regarding coffee consumption. If the answer is "True," it means that the individual indeed dislikes coffee. The use of "don’t" suggests a casual or informal tone, which may reflect the speaker's familiarity with the subject. On the other hand, if the answer were "False," it would imply that she either likes coffee or has no strong feelings about it. Therefore, the context of personal preference is crucial in determining the accuracy of the statement.

Submit

7. He go to school every day.

Explanation

The statement "He go to school every day" is grammatically incorrect. The subject "He" requires the verb to be conjugated correctly in the present tense, which should be "goes." Therefore, the correct form should be "He goes to school every day." As it stands, the statement does not accurately convey proper English grammar, making it false.

Submit

8. They was happy yesterday.

Explanation

The sentence "They was happy yesterday" contains a grammatical error. The subject "they" requires the plural form of the verb "to be," which is "were," not "was." Therefore, the statement is false because it does not accurately reflect proper English grammar.

Submit

9. I am agree with you.

Explanation

The statement "I am agree with you" is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase should be "I agree with you." Therefore, if the question is asking whether the statement is true or false, it is false due to the grammatical error.

Submit

10. Does she likes pizza?

Explanation

The question contains a grammatical error; it should be "Does she like pizza?" instead of "Does she likes pizza?" In English, the verb "like" should be used in its base form after "does." If we assume the intention was to ask about her preference, the answer would depend on her actual feelings towards pizza. If she enjoys it, then "True" would be the appropriate response. However, without additional context about her preferences, it's impossible to definitively assert her feelings.

Submit

11. I have ___ cat.

Explanation

In English, the article "a" is used before singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound. In this case, "cat" is a singular noun that starts with a consonant sound, making "a" the appropriate choice. Using "a" indicates that you are referring to one unspecified cat, rather than a specific one or more than one. This usage is fundamental in English grammar for clarity and correctness in communication.

Submit

12. ___ sun is bright today.

Explanation

In English, definite articles are used to refer to specific nouns that are known to the reader or listener. In this case, "The sun" refers to the specific star at the center of our solar system, which is universally recognized. Therefore, the sentence "The sun is bright today" correctly uses "The" to indicate that it is talking about this particular sun, making it clear and grammatically correct.

Submit

13. She likes ___ music.

Explanation

Using "the" before "music" specifies a particular type or category of music that the speaker enjoys. It indicates that the listener is likely familiar with the music being referred to, making it a definite article. In contrast, using "a" would suggest any music in general, while omitting an article might sound incomplete. Therefore, "the music" conveys a more precise meaning, suggesting a shared understanding or a specific context regarding the music she likes.

Submit

14. He is ___ doctor.

Explanation

In English, the article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. In this case, "doctor" starts with a consonant sound (the 'd' sound), making "a doctor" the grammatically correct phrase. Using "an" would be incorrect here, as it is reserved for words that begin with a vowel sound. Thus, "a" is the appropriate choice to introduce the noun "doctor."

Submit

15. I go to ___ school every day.

Explanation

Using "the" before "school" indicates a specific school that is known to both the speaker and the listener. It implies that the speaker attends a particular school regularly, rather than any school in general. This definite article helps to clarify that the school is a familiar or previously mentioned location, making the sentence clear and precise.

Submit

16. I was born ___ 2005.

Explanation

The preposition "in" is used to indicate the year when something occurs. In this context, "I was born in 2005" specifies the year of birth. Using "in" before a year is standard English grammar, as it denotes a period or timeframe rather than a specific moment. Other prepositions like "on" are incorrect here, as they are typically used for specific dates or days. Thus, "in" appropriately conveys the information regarding the year of birth.

Submit

17. She is good ___ English.

Explanation

The preposition "at" is used to indicate proficiency or skill in a particular area or activity. In this context, saying "She is good at English" means that she has a strong ability or talent in the subject of English. Other prepositions like "in" or "with" could be used in different contexts, but "at" specifically conveys the idea of being skilled or competent in a subject.

Submit

18. We are waiting ___ the bus.

Explanation

The preposition "for" is used to indicate the purpose or reason for waiting. In this context, it specifies that the waiting is directed towards the arrival of the bus. Using "for" clarifies that the action of waiting is specifically in anticipation of something, which in this case is the bus. Other prepositions would not convey this meaning appropriately.

Submit

19. The book is ___ the table.

Explanation

The preposition "on" indicates a position where something is resting upon a surface. In this case, saying "The book is on the table" means that the book is placed directly atop the table. This usage is common in English to describe the location of objects in relation to one another, emphasizing that the book is physically in contact with the table's surface.

Submit

20. I’ll see you ___ Monday.

Explanation

In English, the preposition "on" is used to indicate specific days and dates. When referring to a particular day of the week, such as "Monday," it is grammatically correct to use "on." This usage helps clarify the exact time frame being discussed. Therefore, the phrase "I’ll see you on Monday" is the appropriate way to express plans for that day.
