Mastering Subject-Verb Agreement FEA NAWA BAZAR SIMPLE PRESENT T

1. She (go/goes) to school every day.

• gone to school every day

• going to school every day

• goes

• go to school every day

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'goes' because it agrees with the singular subject 'She' in the present simple tense. 'Go' is the base form, while 'going' and 'gone' do not fit the sentence structure.

2. They (is/are) playing soccer in the park.

• were

• are

• was

• isn't

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'are' because it agrees with the plural subject 'they'. The sentence describes an ongoing action in the present, making 'are' the appropriate form of the verb 'to be'.

3. The cat (chase/chases) the mouse.

• chases

• chasing

• chased

• chase

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'chases' because it agrees with the singular subject 'the cat' in the present tense. 'Chase' is the base form, 'chasing' is a gerund, and 'chased' is the past tense, making 'chases' the only suitable option.

4. He (like/likes) to read books.

• loves

• like

• likes

• enjoys

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'likes' because it agrees with the subject 'He' in the present tense. 'He likes to read books' is grammatically correct, while 'like' would be incorrect for a singular subject.

5. The dogs (bark/barks) loudly at night.

• bark

• barkes

• barks

• barking

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'bark' because 'dogs' is plural, requiring the base form of the verb. 'Barks' is singular and incorrect here. 'Barkes' is a misspelling, and 'barking' is a different form.

6. My brother (watch/watches) TV after dinner.

• watching

• watched

• watches

• watchs

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'watches' because it agrees with the subject 'My brother' in the present simple tense, indicating a habitual action. 'Watch' is incorrect as it does not match the subject, and 'watchs' is a misspelling.

7. The flowers (bloom/blooms) in spring.

• bloom

• bloomed

• blooms

• blooming

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'bloom' because it is the base form of the verb used with the plural subject 'flowers'. 'Blooms' is singular, while 'bloomed' and 'blooming' are incorrect forms for this context.

8. I (enjoy/enjoys) playing video games.

• enjoy

• enjoys me

• enjoying

• enjoyed

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'enjoy' because it agrees with the subject 'I'. In English, the verb form 'enjoy' is used with 'I' and 'you', while 'enjoys' is used with third-person singular subjects.

9. The teacher (give/gives) homework every week.

• given

• give

• giving

• gives

10. We (have/has) a test tomorrow.

• have

• has

• have had
