  • 2. 

    _____ we late?

    • Is

    • Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Are
    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".

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    He __________  football

    • Doesn't play

    • Don't play

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't play
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    I ______ to the park at the weekend.

    • Go

    • Goes

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

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Usually I ___________ at 7.30am

    • Go to bed

    • Wake up

    Correct Answer
    A. Wake up
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    My parents __________ in a very big house.

    • Live

    • Lives

    Correct Answer
    A. Live
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ____________ they study a lot?

    • Does

    • Do

    Correct Answer
    A. Do
    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?"

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    He _________ the plates after dinner

    • Washs

    • Washes

    Correct Answer
    A. Washes
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Water ________ at 100 degrees.

    • Boil

    • Boils

    • Freeze

    • Freezes

    Correct Answer
    A. Boils
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • Flys

    • Flies

    Correct Answer
    A. Flies
    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".

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Every Thursday night we go and _________ some beers

    • Take

    • Have

    Correct Answer
    A. Have
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Everybody __________ here

    • Is

    • Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Is
    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.
