2. _____ we late?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Are". In this question, we are asking about the subject "we" and whether it is late or not. Since "we" is a plural pronoun, we need to use the plural form of the verb "to be", which is "are".

Submit
3. He __________  football

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't play" because the subject "he" is singular and requires the use of the auxiliary verb "does" in negative sentences. In this case, "doesn't" is the contraction of "does not," indicating that he does not play football.

Submit
4. I ______ to the park at the weekend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "go" because when using the pronoun "I," the verb should be in its base form, which is "go."

Submit
5. Usually I ___________ at 7.30am

Explanation

The correct answer is "wake up" because the sentence is talking about the usual time the person gets up in the morning. "Go to bed" would be the opposite action, and it doesn't fit the context of the sentence.

Submit
6. ____________ they study a lot?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Do". In this question, the subject is "they", which is a plural pronoun. When the subject is plural, we use the auxiliary verb "do" to form questions in the present simple tense. Therefore, the correct question form is "Do they study a lot?"

Submit
7. My parents __________ in a very big house.

Explanation

The given sentence is in the present tense and refers to the action of the subject "my parents" in the present. Since "parents" is a plural noun, the correct verb form to use is "live." Therefore, the correct answer is "live."

Submit
8. He _________ the plates after dinner

Explanation

The correct answer is "washes." The verb "wash" is used to describe the action of cleaning something with water and soap. In this sentence, the subject is performing the action of washing the plates after dinner. Therefore, the present tense form of the verb "wash" is "washes."

Submit
9. Water ________ at 100 degrees.

Explanation

Water boils at 100 degrees. This is a scientific fact and a well-known property of water. When the temperature of water reaches 100 degrees Celsius, it undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas, which is known as boiling. Therefore, the correct answer is "boils."

Submit
10. My father is a pilot. He __________ to New York.

Explanation

The correct answer is "flies" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "My father" is a singular noun. In the present tense, when the subject is a singular noun, we use the base form of the verb + 's' or 'es'. Therefore, the correct verb form is "flies".

Submit
11. Every Thursday night we go and _________ some beers

Explanation

The correct answer is "have". In this context, "have" is the appropriate verb to use when referring to drinking or consuming beers. It implies that every Thursday night, the speaker and others engage in the activity of drinking beers. "Take" does not fit in this sentence because it does not convey the same meaning of consuming or drinking.

Submit
12. Everybody __________ here

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because "everybody" is a singular pronoun and requires a singular verb. In this sentence, "is" agrees with the subject "everybody" to form a grammatically correct sentence.
