8. My friend ........................... (get) good tests results always.

In this sentence, the present simple tense is used. When talking about habits, routines, or general truths, the present simple tense is appropriate. The base form of the verb "get" is used for the third-person singular subject "friend," and the adverb "always" emphasizes the regularity of the action.

10. ........................ (do) Ian like painting?

The correct form of the sentence is "Does Ian like painting?" because in English, when forming a question in the present simple tense for subjects like "he," "she," or "it," we use the auxiliary verb "does." The main verb "like" remains in its base form without any changes. So, the structure of the question is:

Does (auxiliary verb) + subject ("Ian") + main verb in base form ("like") + object ("painting").

This follows the standard grammar rule for questions in the present simple tense.

Explanation

Does (auxiliary verb) + subject ("Ian") + main verb in base form ("like") + object ("painting").

This follows the standard grammar rule for questions in the present simple tense.
