10. The movie ______ sacary, I don't want to watch it again

11. ______ They sick last week?

Explanation

The correct answer is "were / no, they weren't". This is because the question is asking about the past tense of the verb "to be" in relation to a plural subject ("they").

Therefore, the correct answer is "were / no, they weren't".

12. I'____ (swim) in the pool 

Explanation

The correct answer is 'm not swimming. This is because the sentence is in present tense and the subject is "I".

Therefore, the correct negative form is 'm not swimming.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "are / doing" because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to talk about actions happening at the present moment. In this case, the verb "do" needs to be conjugated in the present continuous form, which is "are doing".

Submit
