Substitute the name with the correct Subject Pronoun.(only the subject pronoun)Elizabeth is from New York.
Explanation
The correct subject pronoun to substitute for "Elizabeth" in the given sentence is "She". The sentence is referring to Elizabeth as the subject, so the subject pronoun "She" is used. The pronoun "she" is incorrect as it should be capitalized at the beginning of a sentence.
3.
Fill in the blanks according to the appropriate conjugation of the verb "to be".
I _____ hungry.
Explanation
The correct answer is "am,'m". In this sentence, the subject is "I" and the verb "to be" is used to describe the state of being, which in this case is "hungry". The first blank should be filled with "am" and the second blank should be filled with "'m", which is a contraction of "am".
4.
Fill in the blank with the appropriate answer
Anne ______ home but Mathew ______ at school.
Explanation
The sentence is in the present tense, so the verb "is" is used for the third person singular subject "Anne". The verb "is" is not used for the subject "Mathew" because it is missing from the sentence.
5.
Change the sentence from affirmative to interrogative. (Make a question) I am happy.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Am I happy?" because when changing an affirmative sentence to an interrogative form, we invert the subject and the helping verb. In this case, the subject is "I" and the helping verb is "am," so we simply invert them to form the question "Am I happy?"
6.
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.I ______ tired, but I _____ not hungry.
Explanation
The correct answer is "am,'m". In this sentence, the first blank should be filled with "am" because it is the correct form of the verb "to be" for the pronoun "I". The second blank should be filled with "'m" which is a contraction of "am" and is used in informal speech. The sentence means that the speaker is tired but not hungry.
7.
Change the sentence from affirmative to interrogative.
(Make a question)
Mauricio is Colombian.
Explanation
To change a sentence from affirmative to interrogative, we need to invert the subject and the auxiliary verb. In this case, the subject is "Mauricio" and the auxiliary verb is "is". By inverting them, we get the question "Is Mauricio Colombian?"
8.
Change the sentence from affirmative to interrogative.
(Make a question)
Maria is from Chile.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Is Maria from Chile?" because it changes the given affirmative sentence "Maria is from Chile" into an interrogative sentence by using the auxiliary verb "is" at the beginning of the sentence to form a question.
9.
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate answer. (negative)Jane _______ home right now. She is working.
Explanation
The correct answer is "isn't" or "is not" because the sentence is in the negative form and requires a contraction of the verb "is" with "not". Both "isn't" and "is not" are correct and can be used interchangeably in this context.
10.
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate answer.(simple present)John ______ afraid of dogs.
Explanation
The correct answer is "is" because the sentence is in the simple present tense and "John" is a singular subject. In the simple present tense, we use "is" with singular subjects, like "John," to indicate a permanent or general state of being. Therefore, the sentence means that John is always afraid of dogs.
11.
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate answer. (Wh question)Johnny is from California.______ is he from?
Explanation
The question is asking for the appropriate word to fill in the blank in order to complete the sentence correctly. In this case, the word "Where" is the correct answer because it is the appropriate question word used to ask about someone's place of origin or location.
12.
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate answer. (Wh question)Shakira is from Colombia.____ is from Colombia?
Explanation
The question is asking for the appropriate word to fill in the blank, which is a "Wh question" word. The sentence provided states that "Shakira is from Colombia," and the question is asking for the word that would fit in the same sentence structure. The correct answer is "Who," as it is a question word used to inquire about a person's identity.
13.
Correct the sentence:
(I not very happy today)
Explanation

14.
Correct the sentence:
(Kelly six years old)
Explanation
The given sentence "Kelly six years old" is grammatically incorrect. To correct it, we can say "Kelly is six years old" or "Kelly's six years old". Both options convey the same meaning and are grammatically correct.
15.
Write positive or negative sentences(I / interested in sports)
Explanation
The given answer is correct because it provides all the possible variations of expressing interest or lack of interest in sports. The first two sentences affirm the interest in sports, using both "I am" and "I'm" as the contraction of "I am". The last two sentences negate the interest in sports, again using both "I am not" and "I'm not". This answer covers all the possible combinations of expressing interest or lack thereof in sports.
16.
True or false?Subject pronouns don't substitute the name of people.
Explanation
Subject pronouns do substitute the name of people. Subject pronouns are used in place of a person's name when referring to them as the subject of a sentence. Examples of subject pronouns include "he," "she," "they," and "we." These pronouns help to avoid repetition and make sentences more concise. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
