2. I............... with my parents.

Explanation

The verb "live" should be used to agree with the subject "I" in the sentence. Since "I" is a singular pronoun, the correct form of the verb is "live."

Submit
3. We..................everyday after school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "study" because in the sentence, "We" is the subject, which is a plural pronoun. Therefore, it should be followed by a verb that agrees with it in the plural form. "Study" is the correct plural form of the verb, while "studies," "go," and "goes" are in the singular form and do not agree with the subject.

Submit
4. We.....................English when we are at school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "speak" because the subject "we" is plural, so the verb should also be in plural form. Therefore, the correct sentence is "We speak English when we are at school."

Submit
5. I...................television most evenings.

Explanation

The correct answer is "watch." The verb "watch" is the correct form to use with the subject "I" in this sentence. "Watches" is incorrect because it is the third person singular form, which does not agree with the subject "I." "Play" is also incorrect because it is not the appropriate verb to use with "television." Therefore, "watch" is the correct choice.

Submit

Explanation

Submit
7. You.............. in an office.

Explanation

The given sentence is in the second person singular form, indicating that the subject of the sentence is "you." The verb "work" is the correct form to use with "you" as the subject. Therefore, the correct answer is "work."

Submit
8. My brother and I .....................breakfast everyday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "eat" because when referring to multiple people, like "my brother and I," the verb should be in the plural form. Therefore, "eat" is the correct verb form to match the subject.

Submit
