Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Do you __________(like) chocolate milk shake?

    • A.

      Like

    • B.

      Likes

    • C.

      Be like

    Correct Answer
    A. Like
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "like" because it agrees with the subject "you" in the question. "Likes" would be incorrect because it does not match the subject. "Be like" is not a suitable option as it does not fit the structure of the question.

    He __________(do) not want to do his homeworks

    • A.

      Do

    • B.

      Does

    • C.

      Is

    Correct Answer
    B. Does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does" because when using the third person singular pronoun "he," the auxiliary verb "do" changes to "does." This follows the rule of subject-verb agreement in English grammar.

    • C.

      Do

    Correct Answer
    B. Are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Are" because the question is asking about the subject "we" which is plural. In English, when asking a question about a plural subject, we use the plural form of the verb "to be" which is "are".

    • D.

      Does

    Correct Answer
    B. Is
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "It" in the sentence. "Is" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for singular subjects.

      Is

    • C.

      Do

    • D.

      Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does" because "Roger" is a singular third-person subject, so the verb that follows should be in the singular form "does."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    My parents ___________ in Japan, I'm alone in Hong Kong.

    • A.

      Lives

    • B.

      Live

    Correct Answer
    B. Live
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "live." This is because the subject "parents" is plural, so the verb should also be plural to agree with the subject. Therefore, "live" is the correct form of the verb to use in this sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Geroge ___________(is/am/are) out out office now, you can leave hime a message.

    Correct Answer
    is
    am
    are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is". In this sentence, we are referring to Geroge being out of the office, so we need to use the third person singular form of the verb "to be", which is "is".

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    "Macy is your sister, ___________(is/am/are) I correct Robin?" Tom said.

    Correct Answer
    am
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "am" because it agrees with the subject "I" in the sentence. Tom is confirming with Robin if he is correct in stating that Macy is his sister, so Robin should respond with "am" to confirm that Tom is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    We ___________(is/am/are) Chinese, we live in Hong Kong.

    Correct Answer
    are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are" because the subject "we" is plural, indicating that there is more than one person being referred to. Therefore, the verb "are" is used to agree with the plural subject.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    ___________(Do/Does) you like Jazz?I know there is a Jazz bar nearby!

    Correct Answer
    Do
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Do" because the question is asking about the person's preference for Jazz, which is a plural subject. When asking a question about preferences or opinions, we use "do" for plural subjects and "does" for singular subjects. In this case, since "you" is a plural subject, we use "do" in the question.
