Let's solve both exercises step by step.

---

Exercise I: Complete the dialogue using "does," "is," or "has"



We need to fill in the blanks with the correct auxiliary verb: does, is, or has. These are used for forming questions and negative statements, depending on the context.

#### Dialogue:

A: My teacher is very nice. She has a house next to mine.
B: Where is she from?
A: She is from London.
B: Is she married?
A: Yes, she is.
B: Does she have any children?
A: She has one son and three daughters.
B: Does she like teaching?
A: Yes, of course! But she does not like talkative pupils.
B: She likes you a lot then, doesn't she? And do you know anything about her private life? What does she do at weekends?
A: She does the housework and she cooks.
B: What does her husband do?
A: He does nothing. He prefers watching TV and playing football!
B: Do you think she is pleased with that?
A: Of course not! But he is very good at DIY and she has not!

#### Explanation:

- "is" is used for states (e.g., being nice, being from London, being married).
- "has" is used for possession (e.g., has a house, has children).
- "does" is used for actions (e.g., does she like teaching?, what does she do?).

Note:
- In the sentence *"she does nothing"*, "does" is used as a main verb meaning "to do", not an auxiliary.
- The contraction *"doesn't"* = "does not" – used in tag questions ("She likes you... doesn't she?")
- "He does nothing" = he doesn’t do anything (emphasizing lack of action)
- "She has not!" = she doesn’t have (referring to skills or possessions)

---

Exercise II: Fill in the blanks with "be", "do", "can", or "have" (present or past)



We use:
- be (am/is/are/was/were) – for states
- do (do/does/did) – for actions (questions/negatives)
- have (have/has/had) – for possession or experiences
- can – ability (only present tense)

---

#### 1) "Are you going to visit your great grandmother soon?" – "No, I'm not."
→ Future plan → "Are" (be)

#### 2) "Do you play cards in the evenings?" – "Yes, sometimes."
→ Habitual action → "Do" (present simple)

#### 3) "Did you watch television last night?" – "No, I did not."
→ Past action → "Did" (past of do)

#### 4) "Can I buy a camera in this shop?" – "Yes, what kind would you like?"
→ Requesting permission → "Can"

#### 5) "Have you got any films for the camera?" – "Yes."
→ Possession (British English) → "Have"

#### 6) "Did Tim and Ken visit Japan?" – "No, they visited France and Spain."
→ Past action → "Did"

#### 7) "Do Tom and Nigel climb mountains every summer?" – "No, not always."
→ Habitual action → "Do" (plural subject)

#### 8) "Can Han speak Chinese?" – "Yes, of course."
→ Ability → "Can"

#### 9) "Did Paul go to the United States last winter?" – "Yes, for three weeks."
→ Past action → "Did"

#### 10) "Have you got any bermudas?" – "Yes, we have. We have blue and white ones."
