Choose the correct form of the simple present.
Correct Answer
B. Everyday Grace gets up early.
Explanation
The correct form of the simple present is "Everyday Grace gets up early." In the simple present tense, when the subject is a singular noun or third-person singular pronoun (such as "Grace"), we add an -s to the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct sentence should be in the form "Subject + verb + -s" which is "Grace gets up early."

The incorrect options "She watchs television after doing her homework." and "She watch television after doing her homework." have incorrect verb forms that do not agree with the subject.

Choose the correct form of the simple present.
Correct Answer
A. You live near me.
Explanation

23.
Choose the correct form of the simple present.
Correct Answer

24.
Choose the correct form of the simple present.
Correct Answer
B. Does my dad like ice cream?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Does my dad like ice cream?" In the simple present tense, when using the third person singular pronouns (he, she, it), we add an -s to the base form of the verb. In this case, the subject is "my dad," which is a third person singular pronoun, so we use "does" instead of "do" and "likes" instead of "like."
25.
Choose the correct form of the simple present.
Correct Answer
B. I don’t like broccoli.
Explanation
The correct answer is "I don't like broccoli." This sentence uses the negative form of the simple present tense to express the speaker's dislike for broccoli. The word "don't" is the contraction of "do not," which is used to negate the verb "like."
