My brother _________ football.
- A.
Play
- B.
Plays
- C.
Plaies
Correct Answer
B. PlaysExplanation
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".Rate this question:
