6. Snow is warm.

Explanation

Snow is not warm. In fact, snow is typically associated with cold temperatures and is formed when the atmospheric temperature is below freezing. Snow is composed of ice crystals, which are frozen water droplets. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that snow is warm.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Doesn't". This is because we are making the sentence negative and referring to a singular subject, which requires the use of "doesn't" instead of "don't". "Doesn't" is the contraction of "does not" and is used with third person singular subjects.

Submit

The correct answer is "Doesn't". In this sentence, "Liz" is a singular subject, so the correct verb form to use is "doesn't" which is the contraction of "does not". This indicates that Liz does not wear shorts at all.

Submit
9. 3. _______I playing now?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Am" because the subject of the sentence is "I" which is a singular pronoun. In English, when the subject is a singular pronoun, we use the verb "am" to form the present continuous tense. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "Am I playing now?"

Submit
12. My friends _________ to rock music.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Listen". The verb "listen" is used to describe the action of paying attention to or hearing something. In this sentence, the subject "my friends" is plural, so the correct form of the verb should also be plural. Therefore, "listen" is the correct present tense form of the verb to agree with the plural subject.

Submit
13. PART A.   PRESENT SIMPLE TENSEComplete the following sentences selecting the corresponding verbs.Affirmative Sentences1. He __________ at ten o´clock (get up)

Explanation

The correct answer is "gets up." This is because the subject "he" is a third person singular pronoun, so the verb "get" needs to be conjugated in the present simple tense as "gets." The base form of the verb "get" is "get," but when conjugated for third person singular pronouns, it becomes "gets." Therefore, the correct sentence is "He gets up at ten o'clock."

Submit
14. Snowplows clear the streets.

Explanation

Snowplows clear the streets, so the statement "Snowplows clear the streets" is true. Snowplows are vehicles equipped with a large blade that is used to remove snow from roads, making them safe for driving. These vehicles are commonly used in areas with heavy snowfall to ensure that the streets are accessible and free from snow accumulation.

Submit
15. My brother _________  football.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Plays" because when using the present tense with third person singular subjects (he, she, it), we add an "s" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "brother" is the third person singular subject, so we use "plays" instead of "play" or "plaies".

Submit
16. I study English on Saturdays.

Explanation

The correct answer is "When do you study English?" because the given statement states that the person studies English on Saturdays. Therefore, to gather more information about their study schedule, asking when they study English would be the most appropriate question.

Submit
17. Mary and Peter _________ hamburgers.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Eat" because when referring to two or more people, the verb "eat" does not change. It remains the same regardless of the subject. Therefore, in this sentence, "Mary and Peter" is the subject, and the correct verb form is "eat."

Submit
18. My brothers _____ like to drink milk.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Don't". In this sentence, we are talking about multiple brothers, so we need to use the plural form of the verb "to do", which is "don't".

Explanation

The correct question to the given sentence is "What does my teacher speak?" because it is asking for the language(s) that the teacher speaks. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong verb form or ask about the person who speaks the languages, rather than the languages themselves.
