2. They _________ dinner together.

Explanation

The verb "eat" is the correct form to use with the subject "they" in the present tense. "Eats" is the incorrect form as it is used with singular subjects like "he" or "she". Therefore, the correct answer is "eat".

Submit
3. They _______ to class at 8:00 am.

Explanation

The correct answer is "go" because when referring to a plural subject, we use the base form of the verb, which is "go." In this sentence, "they" is the subject, indicating more than one person, so we use "go" instead of "goes" which is used for a singular subject.

Submit
4. You ___________ to work.

Explanation

The blank space requires a subject pronoun that matches with the verb "drive". The pronoun "you" is the correct choice as it agrees with the verb form "drive". Therefore, the correct answer is "drive".

Submit
5. I ______________ yoga.

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't do" because the sentence is in the first person singular form, which requires the use of "do not" as the negative form. Since "I" is the subject, the correct construction is "don't do."

Submit
6. Mary __________ at 6:30 am.

Explanation

Mary wakes up at 6:30 am. The verb "wakes up" is used in the third person singular form, which is appropriate for referring to Mary.

Submit
7. Mary _______________ breakfast.

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't eat" because the subject of the sentence, Mary, is singular and third person. In English grammar, when the subject is singular and third person (he, she, it), we use the auxiliary verb "does" in negative sentences and questions. Therefore, the correct form is "doesn't eat" to indicate that Mary does not eat breakfast.

Submit
8. I never __________ coffee. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "drink" because the verb "never" is used in the sentence, which indicates a negative statement. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "drink" should be used to match the subject "I".

Submit
9. Margie and I _______________ our dog in the park every afternoon. 

Explanation

In this sentence, "Margie and I" is the subject, which is plural. When the subject is plural, the verb should also be in the plural form. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "walk" to match the plural subject.

Submit
10. He ___________ his homework every afternoon.

Explanation

The correct answer is "does" because it agrees with the subject "He," which is a third-person singular pronoun. In English, when the subject is a singular third-person pronoun, we use "does" as the helping verb in the present simple tense. Therefore, the sentence should be "He does his homework every afternoon."

Submit
11. Henry is very busy. He  ______________ from 9:00am to 9:00pm Monday through Friday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "works" because when referring to a singular subject, we use the base form of the verb. In this case, "Henry" is the subject and "works" is the correct form of the verb "work" in the third person singular form.

Submit
12. Chris and I ______________ homework today.

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't have" because when talking about two people, we use the plural form "don't" to indicate that both Chris and I do not have homework. "Doesn't have" is incorrect because it is the singular form and does not match the subject "Chris and I."

Submit
13. Mary _______________ Chinese. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't speak" because "Mary" is a singular subject, so the verb "speak" needs to be conjugated in the third person singular form, which is "doesn't speak."

Submit
14. Betty ___________ English at Mt. SAC.

Explanation

The correct answer is "studies" because the subject "Betty" is singular, so it requires a singular verb form. In this case, the singular verb form of "study" is "studies".

Submit
15. Joe and Jenny ____________ breakfast at 7:00.

Explanation

The correct answer is "eat" because when referring to two or more people, the verb "eat" should be used. "Eats" is used when referring to a single person or third person singular pronouns like he, she, or it. Since Joe and Jenny are two people, the correct form is "eat."
