    Abigail  ________  (swim) every night after doing homework - ProProfs

    Abigail  ________  (swim) every night after doing homework

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "swims" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Abigail" is a third-person singular noun. In English grammar, when the subject is in the third-person singular form (he, she, it), the verb form should end in -s or -es. Therefore, the correct verb form to use in this sentence is "swims."

    I ________ (go) to school by bus.

  • 6. 
    Hannah ________ (watch) TV every day after school. - ProProfs

    Hannah ________ (watch) TV every day after school.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "watches" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Hannah" is a singular noun. In the present tense, when the subject is a singular noun, we add "es" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "watch" in this sentence is "watches".

    Zoe ________ ( not read) the newspaper every morning - ProProfs

    Zoe ________ ( not read) the newspaper every morning

    Explanation
    Zoe "doesn't read" the newspaper every morning. This implies that Zoe does not engage in the activity of reading the newspaper each morning. The phrase "doesn't read" indicates a negative action or absence of action, suggesting that Zoe does not perform the specific action of reading the newspaper.

  • 8. 
    At the weekend, I________  (not get up) early - ProProfs

    At the weekend, I________  (not get up) early

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't get up" because the sentence is in the present simple tense and is referring to a habitual action that occurs every weekend. In this case, the speaker is stating that they do not get up early on weekends. The use of "don't" indicates the negative form of the verb "get up" in the present simple tense.

  • 9. 
    Noah ________ (not walk) to his school every day. - ProProfs

    Noah ________ (not walk) to his school every day.

    Explanation
    Noah doesn't walk to his school every day. The word "doesn't" is a contraction of "does not," indicating that Noah does not engage in the action of walking to school. The present simple tense is used to describe habitual actions, and in this case, it is clear that walking to school is not part of Noah's daily routine.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    My sister ________ (not have) music lessons on Wednesdays.  - ProProfs

    My sister ________ (not have) music lessons on Wednesdays. 

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't have" because it is the correct form of the negative present tense for the third person singular pronoun "she." In this sentence, the subject "my sister" is singular and the verb "have" needs to be conjugated to match the subject. Since it is in the present tense and the subject is third person singular, the correct form is "doesn't have."
