Common questions

The correct choice is 'b) cooks'. In this sentence, 'Jane' is the singular third-person subject, which requires the verb to be conjugated with an '-s' in the simple present tense .

The correct choice is 'a) have'. For the plural subject 'They', the correct verb form in the simple present is the base form 'have', because plural subjects do not require a verb ending in '-s' or '-es' .

The correct answer is 'b) goes'. For the subject 'Peter', third-person singular verb structure is required, and thus the verb 'goes' has the '-es' ending. This rule applies consistently to ensure proper subject-verb agreement .

The correct choice is 'b) boils'. When making scientific statements that are accepted general truths, the simple present tense is used. For third-person singular like 'water', the verb includes the '-s' ending. This applies the rule of subject-verb agreement in factual contexts .

The correct choice is 'c) doesn’t drink'. The sentence is negative, so 'doesn't' is needed with the base form of the verb 'drink'. For third-person singular nouns, the auxiliary 'does' is used with the base verb to form negatives in present simple .

The correct choice is 'b) play'. The subject 'They' is plural, so the verb does not take an '-s' in the simple present tense. This follows the general rule where verbs in present simple for plural subjects remain in their base form .

The correct choice is 'a) cry'. However, to correctly maintain sentence structure with the given third-person singular 'The baby', it should actually be 'cries'. The sentence as proposed would typically be seen as incorrect if modifying the singular conventionally .

The correct choice is 'b) does'. In the positive sentence, 'She does her homework', but if negative was required as 'c) doesn’t does', it's incorrect; it should be 'doesn't do'. Therefore, for positive the verb should just be 'does' in simple present with third-person singular .

The correct choice is 'b) opens'. When using the simple present tense and the subject is a singular noun such as 'The shop', the verb requires an '-s' or '-es' ending. This is a common grammatical rule for the third-person singular present tense .

The correct answer is 'b) leaves'. In schedule expressions, the simple present is used to imply regular or timetabled events, and 'leaves' is the proper form for singular third-person subjects like 'The train', thus requiring the '-s' ending for grammatically correct statements .
