Present Simple Negatives

Respuesta correcta: C) does

• A) doingIncorrect. "Doing" is an -ing form, and an -ing form needs a helper such as "is" to stand in a sentence.
• B) didIncorrect. "Did" is the past tense, while "every afternoon" describes a habit in the present.
• C) doesCorrect! The subject Juan is third person singular, and in the present simple that subject takes "does".
• D) doIncorrect. "Do" is the present simple form for "I", "you", "we" and "they", but not for a singular third person subject.

Respuesta correcta: D) go

• A) goesIncorrect. "Goes" is the third person singular form, and the subject of this sentence is "I".
• B) wentIncorrect. "Went" is the past tense, and the clock time describes this student's routine as it is today.
• C) goingIncorrect. "Going" is an -ing form and it needs "am" or "is" in front of it to make a sentence.
• D) goCorrect! The subject "I" always takes the base form in the present simple, so the verb is "go".

Respuesta correcta: D) don't

• A) doesn'tIncorrect. "Doesn't" is the third person singular negative, and the subject "they" needs the plural form.
• B) noIncorrect. "No" is a determiner that goes before a noun, as in "no vegetables", and it is not a verb auxiliary.
• C) notIncorrect. "Not" is a word that comes after the auxiliary, so it cannot build the negative form on its own here.
• D) don'tCorrect! The subject "they" is plural, so the negative present simple is "don't" plus the base form "like".

Respuesta correcta: C) Does

• A) DoIncorrect. "Do" is the auxiliary used with "you", "we" and "they", and "your sister" is third person singular.
• B) IsIncorrect. "Is" is the auxiliary of the verb "be", and the sentence already supplies the subject "your sister".
• C) DoesCorrect! In a present simple question the auxiliary "does" comes first and the main verb returns to the base form "play".
• D) AreIncorrect. "Are" is used with "you", "we" and "they", and the subject here is "your sister".

Respuesta correcta: C) brush

• A) brushedIncorrect. "Brushed" is the past tense, and a daily routine after breakfast is expressed in the present.
• B) brushesIncorrect. "Brushes" is the third person singular form, and the subject of this sentence is "I".
• C) brushCorrect! The subject "I" takes the base form, so the present simple of this verb is "brush".
• D) brushingIncorrect. "Brushing" is an -ing form and it needs "am" in front of it to make a sentence.

Respuesta correcta: B) do

• A) doesIncorrect. "Does" is the third person singular auxiliary, and the subject of this question is "you".
• B) doCorrect! "What time" asks about a routine with "you" as the subject, so the auxiliary is the plural form "do".
• C) isIncorrect. "Is" is the auxiliary of "be", and this question has the full verb "wake up" after the blank.
• D) areIncorrect. "Are" is the auxiliary of the verb "be", but the full verb "wake up" follows the blank.

Respuesta correcta: B) watches

• A) watchingIncorrect. "Watching" is an -ing form and it needs "is" in front of it to make a sentence.
• B) watchesCorrect! "She" is third person singular, so in the present simple the verb takes the -es form: "watches".
• C) watchedIncorrect. "Watched" is the past tense, and the sentence describes a habit that repeats every evening.
• D) watchIncorrect. "Watch" is the base form, which "I", "you", "we" and "they" take, but not the singular "she".

Respuesta correcta: C) have

Respuesta correcta: B) never

• A) sometimesIncorrect. "Sometimes" means now and then, so it would still allow games on weekdays.
• B) neverCorrect! "Never" is the one frequency adverb that means "not one time", which matches a routine of no games on weekdays.
