Questions and Answers

1.

Tamar______________(not know) Japanese.

Explanation
The correct answer is "doesn't know" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Tamar" is singular. When using the third person singular form in the present tense, we add "s" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, "doesn't know" is the correct form of the verb "to know" to match with the subject "Tamar."
