2. ... you sure that we start the lesson at 10 am?

Explanation

The question is asking about the correct form of the verb to use with the subject "we" and the time "10 am". In this case, "we" is a plural subject, so the correct verb form to use is "are". Therefore, the correct answer is "Are".

Submit
3. I ... not sure how to cook this dinner.

Explanation

The correct answer is "am" because the subject of the sentence is "I," which is the first person singular pronoun. In English, when the subject is "I," we use the verb form "am" in the present tense. Therefore, the sentence should be "I am not sure how to cook this dinner."

Submit
4. They ... proud of their daughter.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because "they" is a plural pronoun, indicating that there is more than one person being referred to. Therefore, the verb "are" is used to agree with the subject and indicate that the parents, who are the subject, feel proud of their daughter.

Submit
5. Sorry, I ... late.

Explanation

The correct answer is "am" because the sentence is in the first person singular form and the subject "I" requires the corresponding form of the verb "to be," which is "am."

Submit
6. We ... confident that we can finish the job in time.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because the subject "we" is plural, and the verb "are" agrees with a plural subject.

Submit
7. Paulina ... talking on the phone to her friend now.

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because the sentence is referring to Paulina in the third person singular form. In this form, the correct verb to use is "is."

Submit
8. Mariann and Iwona .. happy to learn English.

Explanation

The subject of the sentence is "Mariann and Iwona," which is a plural noun. Therefore, the correct verb to use is "are" because it agrees with the plural subject.

Submit
9. Where ... my book?

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because the subject of the sentence is singular (book), so the verb should also be singular. "Am" and "are" are used with the subjects "I" and "you/we/they" respectively, which are not applicable in this sentence.

Submit
10. What ... your children's names?

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because the question is asking about the names of multiple children, indicating a plural subject. "Are" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for plural subjects.
