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".

Submit
4. He …………………..to school every day.

Explanation

The correct answer is "goes". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and is referring to a habitual action that happens every day. The verb "goes" is the correct form of the verb "go" for the third person singular subject "he".

Submit
5. Shady………………..the newspaper every morning.

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."

Submit
6. He …………… his tooth every morning.

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.

Submit
7. ……….…………. it ………………. very often during the month of January?

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.

Submit
8. We…………………..dinner at home.

Explanation

The correct answer is "eat". This is because the sentence is in the present simple tense and is referring to a habitual or regular action. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "eat".

Submit
9. The day ……………………. usually short in winter.

Explanation

The word "usually" suggests that we are talking about a general trend or common occurrence. In winter, the day is typically shorter than in other seasons. Therefore, the correct answer is "is."

Submit

Submit
12. Which one do you like?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
13.   A doctor………………..medicine.

Explanation

The correct answer is "studies" because the sentence is referring to a doctor, who is the subject of the sentence, and the verb that follows should agree with the subject. In this case, "studies" is the correct form of the verb to match with the singular subject "doctor."

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

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."

Submit
15.  They …………………..to the cinema every night.

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".

Submit
16. Where……………….. Your father …………………. ?

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.

Submit
17. What time……………. the lesson…………………. ?

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."
