Present Simple Practice

1. I ___ (study English) every day.

• studyed

• studies

• study

• studied

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'study' because it matches the present tense and agrees with the subject 'I'. 'Studyed' and 'studied' are incorrect forms, while 'studies' is for third-person singular.

2. She ___ (go for a walk) in the morning.

• walking

• goes

• walks

• walked

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'goes' because it matches the subject 'She' in the present simple tense, indicating a habitual action. 'Walking' is a gerund, 'walks' is incorrect for this structure, and 'walked' is past tense.

3. They ___ (read a book) before bedtime.

• listen to music

• read a book

• watch a movie

• play a game

The sentence states they ___ (read a book) before bedtime. The correct choice is 'read a book' as it directly completes the sentence, indicating the activity they engage in before sleeping.

4. He ___ (play computer games) on weekends.

• plays video games

• play games on weekends

6. My brother ___ (play the guitar) very well.

• plays guitar

• playing the guitar

• plays the guitar

• play guitar

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'plays the guitar' because it uses the present simple tense, which is appropriate for stating a fact about someone's ability. 'Plays guitar' is incorrect as it omits the article 'the', which is necessary here.
