Mastering Present Simple Sentences

Formulate an affirmative sentence using the verb 'to play'.

• She plays basketball on Fridays.

• They played video games yesterday.

• I play the piano every night.

Answer explanation

The correct choice, 'I play soccer every weekend,' is an affirmative sentence using the verb 'to play' in the present tense, indicating a regular activity. Other options either use past tense or do not fit the prompt as well.

Create a negative sentence using the verb 'to eat'.

• They are eating dinner now.

• I eat fruits every day.

• I do not eat vegetables.

• She does not like to eat.

The correct choice, 'I do not eat vegetables,' is a negative sentence using 'to eat.' It clearly states the subject's refusal to eat vegetables, while the other options do not express negation.

Construct an interrogative sentence using the verb 'to go'.

• What is your favorite place to go?

• Where do you want to go?

Identify the subject-verb agreement in the sentence: 'She walk to school.'

• She walkes to school.

• The correct form is 'She walks to school.'

• She walked to school.

• She walking to school.

Answer explanation

The correct subject-verb agreement requires the verb to match the singular subject 'She'. Therefore, the correct form is 'She walks to school.' The other options are incorrect due to tense or form.

Use the correct verb form to complete the sentence: 'They ___ (to study) every night.'

• studies

• study

• studied

• studying

Answer explanation

The correct verb form is 'study' because it matches the plural subject 'They' in the present tense. 'Studies' is singular, 'studied' is past tense, and 'studying' is a gerund, making 'study' the appropriate choice.

Transform the affirmative sentence 'He likes coffee' into a negative sentence.

• He does not enjoy coffee.

• He likes tea.

• He does not like coffee.

• He enjoys coffee.

Answer explanation

The correct transformation of 'He likes coffee' into a negative sentence is 'He does not like coffee.' This directly negates the original statement while maintaining the subject and context.

Change the negative sentence 'I do not like apples' into an interrogative sentence.

• Do not I like apples?

• Do I like apples?

• I do like apples?

• Do I not like apples?

Answer explanation

To change 'I do not like apples' into an interrogative form, we can ask if the speaker does not like apples. The correct transformation is 'Do I not like apples?', which retains the negative meaning while forming a question.

Identify the subject-verb agreement in the sentence: 'The dogs runs fast.'

• The dogs running fast.

• The dog runs fast.

• The dogs runned fast.

• The correct form is 'The dogs run fast.'

Answer explanation

The correct subject-verb agreement is 'The dogs run fast.' because 'dogs' is plural, requiring the plural verb 'run' instead of 'runs'.

Use the correct verb form to complete the sentence: 'She ___ (to read) books on weekends.'

• reads

• reading

• read

• readed

Answer explanation

The correct verb form is 'reads' because it agrees with the subject 'She' in the present simple tense. 'Reading' is a gerund, 'read' is the base form, and 'readed' is not a valid form.
