Let's go through each question one by one and solve them step by step, explaining the grammar rules involved.

---

Question 1:

Sentence: *He watch the butterflies.*

We need to find the correct present tense form of "watch" for the subject "he", which is third person singular.

- Regular verbs in the present tense add "-s" or "-es" when the subject is third person singular (he, she, it).
- "Watch" ends in a consonant, so we just add "-s" → watches

✔ Correct answer: C. watches

> ✘ A. watching – this is present participle (used in continuous tenses)
> ✘ B. watchs – incorrect spelling; never use "s" after "ch" like this
> ✘ D. watch – base form, used with I, you, we, they

---

Question 2:

Sentence: *The police officer pull the door open for a friend.*

Subject: "The police officer" → third person singular (he/she)

Verb: "pull" → regular verb

Add "-s" → pulls

✔ Correct answer: A. pulls

> ✘ B. pulles – incorrect spelling (we don’t double the 'l')
> ✘ C. pulling – present participle (not correct here)
> ✘ D. pull – base form, used with plural subjects or I/you/we/they

---

Question 3:

Sentence: *A dolphin swim swiftly through the water.*

Subject: "A dolphin" → third person singular

Verb: "swim" → irregular verb

Third person singular form: "swims"

Note: Even though "swim" ends in "m", we still add "-s" → swims

✔ Correct answer: A. swims

> ✘ B. swimes – incorrect spelling
> ✘ C. swimmes – incorrect
> ✘ D. swimming – present participle, not correct for simple present

---

Question 4:

Sentence: *Mr. Klenk dress in his finest outfit for the chorus concert.*

Subject: "Mr. Klenk" → third person singular

Verb: "dress" → regular verb

Add "-es" because "dress" ends in "ss" (double s), so we add "-es" → dresses

✔ Correct answer: C. dresses

> ✘ A. dresss – incorrect spelling
> ✘ B. dress – base form (used with I, you, we, they)
> ✘ D. dressing – present participle

---

Question 5:

Sentence: *The student write with the yellow pencil.*

Subject: "The student" → third person singular

Verb: "write" → regular verb

Add "-s" → writes

✔ Correct answer: B. writes

> ✘ A. writees – incorrect spelling
> ✘ C. write – base form (wrong for third person singular)
> ✘ D. writess – incorrect spelling

---

Question 6:

Sentence: *She rush to get home to practice piano.*

Subject: "She" → third person singular

Verb: "rush" → regular verb

So: rush → rushes

🔍 Summary of Rules Used:

- Third person singular (he, she, it): Add "-s" or "-es"
- Verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: Add "-es" (e.g., watch → watches, push → pushes)
- Regular verbs: Just add "-s" unless they end in those special letters
- Never use "-ing" in simple present tense for third person singular
- Always check spelling: no double letters unless required (like "dresses")
