1. I _____  _____ a pencil.

Explanation

The sentence is in the present tense and the subject is "I." Since "I" is a singular pronoun, the correct verb form to use is "don't" which is the contraction of "do not." The verb "have" is used to indicate possession, so the correct phrase is "don't have" to complete the sentence.

5. _____ Jack and Jill friends?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Are" because it is the correct form of the verb "to be" to use with plural subjects. In this case, "Jack and Jill" is a plural subject, so the correct form of the verb is "are."

Submit
6. Yes, you ______ English class.

Explanation

The correct answer is "have" because it agrees with the subject "you." In English, the verb "have" is used to indicate possession or ownership, and in this sentence, it suggests that the person being referred to (you) is currently enrolled or taking part in an English class.

Submit
7. _____ I _____ English class today?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Do, have." In this question, we are asking about the subject "I" and whether they have English class today. Since "I" is a singular subject, we use the auxiliary verb "do" in the present tense. The main verb "have" is also used in the base form without any changes. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Do I have English class today?"

Submit
8. She _______ a younger brother.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has" because the sentence is referring to a singular subject ("she") and the verb must agree with the subject in number. In this case, "has" is the correct form of the verb "to have" for a singular subject.

Submit
9. _____ she _____ a pet?

Explanation

The question is asking whether the person mentioned in the question has a pet. To form a question in the present tense for a third-person singular subject, we use "does" followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "Does, have" as it correctly forms the question "Does she have a pet?"
