Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    I ______ happy

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "am not,'m not". This answer is correct because it provides two options for completing the sentence "I ______ happy." Both "am not" and "'m not" are valid contractions for expressing negation in the present tense.

    He ____ sad

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "isn't, is not" because both "isn't" and "is not" are contractions of the verb "is" with the negative particle "not". They can be used interchangeably to indicate the negation of the verb "is" in the present tense. In this case, the word "sad" is being used as an adjective to describe the subject, indicating that the subject is not experiencing sadness.

    She ____ hungry

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "isn't" or "is not" because both options are contractions of "is not" which is the correct form to use in this sentence. The sentence structure requires the use of the verb "is" to describe a state of being, and the negative form is formed by adding "not" after the verb. Therefore, "isn't" or "is not" is the appropriate choice to indicate that she is not hungry.

  • 5. 

    We____ thirsty

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aren't, are not". This is because the word "thirsty" is a plural noun, and when we use the verb "to be" with plural nouns, we need to use the contraction "aren't" or the full form "are not".

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    They____ cold

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aren't, are not" because both "aren't" and "are not" are contractions of the verb "to be" in the negative form. In this sentence, "They" is the subject and the verb "to be" is used to describe their state of being. Since the sentence is in the negative form, both "aren't" and "are not" can be used interchangeably to indicate that the subject is not cold.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    You____ sick

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aren't, are not" because it is the negative form of the verb "to be" in the present tense. When talking about someone being sick, we use the negative form "aren't" or "are not" to indicate that they are not sick.

    My mother and my sister____ in Quito

    My boyfriend and I____ in the schooll
