    A. ________ Diego and Sarah getting married soon? B. I don't think so.

    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A. What time ____ the movie start? B. At 6:60 Pm

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does, DOES, Does." In the question, the word "does" is used to form a question in the present simple tense. The verb "start" is in the base form because it follows the auxiliary verb "does." The three different capitalizations of "does" in the answer options show that it can be used in any of these forms depending on the context or personal preference.

    Correct Answer
    is always telling
    Is always telling
    's always telling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is always telling." This is the correct form of the present continuous tense to describe a repeated action or habit. In this context, it implies that Diego repeatedly tells the speaker nicknames. The other options, "Is always telling" and "'s always telling," are variations of the correct answer and also convey the same meaning.

    • No is travelling

    • Not is travelling

    • Doesn't travelling

    • Isn't travelling

    Correct Answer
    A. Isn't travelling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "isn't travelling" because the sentence is in the present tense and "isn't" is the contraction of "is not," which is the appropriate negative form to use with the verb "travelling."

    Patrick and Phill _________ together by bus everyday.

    • Are traveling

    • Travel

    • Travels

    • Traveling

    Correct Answer
    A. Travel
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "travel" because it is the correct verb form to use with the subject "Patrick and Phill." When two or more people are the subject of a sentence, we use the base form of the verb (travel) without adding an -s or -ing ending.
