    • Plays

    • Play

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "plays" because the sentence is in the present tense and "plays" is the correct form of the verb "play" for the third person singular subject "she".

    The correct answer is "speaks" because it agrees with the subject "She" and is in the present tense, indicating an action that is habitual or ongoing.

    • Going

    • Goes

    • Is going

    • Went

    Correct Answer
    A. Goes

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Shady………………..the newspaper every morning.

    • Reads

    • Reading

    • Is reading

    • Is reads

    Correct Answer
    A. Reads
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "reads" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Shady" is a singular third-person pronoun. In the present tense, singular third-person subjects require the verb form "reads."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    He …………… his tooth every morning.

    • Don't brushes

    • Isn't brushing

    • Isn't brush

    • Doesn't brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't brush
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't brush". In this sentence, the subject "he" is singular and the verb should agree with it. The verb "brush" needs to be in the third person singular form, which is "brushes" or "brush". However, since the negative adverb "doesn't" is used, the correct form is "doesn't brush". This indicates that he does not perform the action of brushing his tooth every morning.

  • 7.

    Correct Answer
    A. Does - rain
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the frequency of rain in January. To form a question in the present simple tense, we use the auxiliary verb "do" followed by the base form of the main verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "Does - rain" as it correctly follows the subject-verb agreement and forms a grammatically correct question.

    He usually ………………..to school on his bike.

    Correct Answer
    goes
    comes
    Explanation
    The given sentence suggests that the person mentioned in the sentence typically travels to school on his bike. The correct answer options, "goes" and "comes," both imply movement, but "goes" is the more appropriate choice as it indicates the action of going to a particular destination. "Comes" suggests the action of arriving at a place, which is not suitable in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is "goes."

    • Do - work

    • Does - work

    Correct Answer
    A. Does - work
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does - work." This is because the question is asking about the location or whereabouts of the subject's father. In this case, "does" is the correct form of the verb "do" to match with the singular subject "your father." Additionally, "work" is the correct verb to use in this context to ask about someone's occupation or job.

    • Doesn't go

    • Don't goes

    Correct Answer
    A. Don't go
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't go". This is because the subject "they" is plural, so we use the plural form of the verb "go" which is "don't go".

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What time……………. the lesson…………………. ?

    • Do - begin

    • Does - begins

    • Do - begins

    • Does - begin

    Correct Answer
    A. Does - begin
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does - begin" because when using the third person singular (he/she/it), we use "does" as the auxiliary verb and the base form of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "begin" and since it is referring to the lesson, which is a singular noun, we use "does" instead of "do."
