2. Shella ....... some books in rudy's store two days ago.

Submit
3. You and I ...... hungry.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because when using the pronouns "you" and "I" as the subject of a sentence, the verb that follows should be in the plural form. In this case, "are" is the correct form of the verb "to be" to match the subject "you and I."

Submit
4. Where ..... your mother live?

Explanation

The correct answer is "does." In this question, we are asking about the location of the subject's mother. The word "does" is used to form questions in the present tense for third person singular subjects, such as "she," "he," or in this case, "your mother."

Submit
5. He ..... much money.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has". In this sentence, the subject "he" is singular, so we need to use the third person singular form of the verb. "Has" is the correct form of the verb "to have" for the subject "he".

Submit
6. I ...... there when they were there.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and requires a past tense verb. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be" which is appropriate in this context.

Submit
7. My mother's friends ..... very kind of me.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because the subject "my mother's friends" is plural, so the verb should also be in the plural form.

Submit
8. No one ..... my name.

Explanation

The correct answer is "knows." This is the present tense form of the verb "know" that matches with the subject "no one." It indicates that there is nobody who has knowledge of the speaker's name.

Submit
9. ..... they sold your drink?

Explanation

The correct answer is "have". This is because "they" is a plural pronoun, and when using the present perfect tense, we use "have" with plural subjects.

Submit
10. Which one is correct?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She liked him." This is the correct sentence because it uses the past tense "liked" to indicate an action that happened in the past. Additionally, it uses the correct pronouns "she" and "him" to show the subject and object of the sentence.
