Step-by-step solution for: Subject-Verb Agreement ESL Games Worksheets Activities
Here are the correct answers for the exercises in the worksheet.
A. Practice present simple subject-verb agreement
1. My brother and I speak very well.
2. He watches TV after class.
3. Ann thinks at six o’clock. *(Note: The sentence in the image seems to have a typo, likely meant "works" or "leaves", but based on the verb provided "think", the form is "thinks". However, looking closely at item 3, the verb is `(think)` but the context "at six o'clock" usually implies an action like work/leave. Let's look closer. Ah, item 3 says `Ann ______ (think) at six o'clock.` This is likely a typo in the original book for "works" or "leaves". But strictly following grammar rules for the verb given: Ann thinks.)*
*Correction*: Looking at standard exercises, this is often "works". But the prompt says `(think)`. Let's stick to the verb given. thinks.
4. Why do you want to change your job?
5. Tom can be annoying. He never takes off his coat!
6. She doesn't study English in the evening.
7. Excuse me, do you have time here?
8. What time does the gym open every day?
9. We usually start work at nine o’clock.
10. Does your sister have long hair?
11. What does your father lose? *(Note: "lose" is an unusual verb here, possibly a typo for "do" or "like", but grammatically: does ... lose)*. Let's re-read carefully. It looks like `(your father / lose / his / key?)` No, it says `(your father / lose / his / keys?)` is not visible. It just says `(your father / lose / his ...)`. Actually, looking at crop 4, it says: `What ________ (your father / lose / his ...)` It's cut off. Let's look at the full image again.
Item 11: `What ________ (your father / lose / his ...)` It's hard to read the end. Let's look at item 12.
Item 12: `Helen ________ (go) yoga every day.` -> Helen goes to yoga every day. (Usually "goes to yoga"). Or just "Helen does yoga". The verb is `(go)`. So: Helen goes to yoga every day.
Let's re-evaluate 11. `What ________ (your father / lose / his ...)` It might be `What does your father lose?`
Let's look at 13. `My parents ________ (not use) Facebook.` -> My parents don't use Facebook.
Let's look at 14. `How many languages ________ (you / speak)?` -> How many languages do you speak?
Let's look at 15. `I ________ (take) a short rest.` -> I take a short rest.
Let's look at 16. `My sister ________ (not have) a boyfriend.` -> My sister doesn't have a boyfriend.
Let's look at 17. `He's not very funny. He never ________ (make) me laugh.` -> He never makes me laugh.
Let's look at 18. `Now, I ________ (not eat) junk food.` -> Now, I don't eat junk food.
Let's go back to the tricky ones in A.
3. `Ann ________ (think) at six o'clock.` This is definitely weird. "Think" is a stative verb. You don't usually do it "at six o'clock" as a scheduled event. It is highly likely a typo for `work` or `leave`. However, if forced to conjugate `think`, it is `thinks`.
4. `Why ________ (you / want) to change your job?` -> Why do you want...
5. `Tom can be annoying. He ________ (prefer) taking off his coat!` Wait, the text says `He ________ (prefer) taking off his coat!`? No, looking at crop 2: `He ________ (prefer) taking off his coat!` is not right. It says `He ________ (never / take) off his coat!`. Ah, the word `never` is outside the bracket? No, `He ________ (never / take) off his coat!`. So: He never takes off his coat!
6. `She ________ (not study) English in the evening.` -> She doesn't study...
7. `Excuse me, ________ (you / have) time here?` -> Do you have time here?
8. `What ________ (time / the gym / open) every day?` -> What time does the gym open every day?
9. `We usually ________ (start) work at nine o'clock.` -> We usually start work...
10. `________ (your sister / have) long hair?` -> Does your sister have long hair?
11. `What ________ (your father / lose / his ...)` The text is cut off or blurry. Let's assume it's `What does your father lose?` or similar. Actually, looking at common worksheets, this is often `What does your father do?`. But the verb looks like `lose`. Let's assume the question is `What does your father lose?` -> does your father lose.
12. `Helen ________ (go) yoga every day.` -> Helen goes to yoga every day. (The "to" might be missing in the blank line structure, or it's `Helen goes yoga` which is colloquial). Standard grammar: goes to. If only one blank, maybe just goes. Let's provide goes to.
13. `My parents ________ (not use) Facebook.` -> My parents don't use Facebook.
14. `How many languages ________ (you / speak)?` -> How many languages do you speak?
15. `I ________ (take) a short rest.` -> I take a short rest.
16. `My sister ________ (not have) a boyfriend.` -> My sister doesn't have a boyfriend.
17. `He's not very funny. He never ________ (make) me laugh.` -> He never makes me laugh.
18. `Now, I ________ (not eat) junk food.` -> Now, I don't eat junk food.
