The verb "brush" needs to be in the third person singular form, which is "brushes" or "brush". However, since the negative adverb "doesn't" is used, the correct form is "doesn't brush". This indicates that he does not perform the action of brushing his tooth every morning.Rate this question:

The correct answer options, "goes" and "comes," both imply movement, but "goes" is the more appropriate choice as it indicates the action of going to a particular destination.

In this case, the main verb is "begin" and since it is referring to the lesson, which is a singular noun, we use "does" instead of "do."Rate this question:
