Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to write the correct simple present form of the verb in parentheses.

Remember:
- For “I”, “you”, “we”, “they” → use the base verb (like “eat”, “live”, etc.)
- For “he”, “she”, “it”, or singular names like “Johnny”, “Rachel”, “the car” → add -s or -es to the verb
- If the verb ends in -sh, -ch, -ss, -x, or -o → usually add -es
- If the verb ends in consonant + y → change y to i and add -es

Now let’s solve:

1. I (to eat) → I eat
2. He (to live) → He lives
3. It (to read) → It reads
4. They (to wear) → They wear
5. You (to ask) → You ask
6. She (to listen) → She listens
7. We (to walk) → We walk
8. Johnny (to study) → Johnny studies (study → studies because it ends in consonant + y)
9. Rachel (to work) → Rachel works
10. Ann and Pete (to race) → Ann and Pete race (plural subject → no -s)
11. the boys (to play) → the boys play (plural → no -s)
12. the car (to speed) → the car speeds

Double-checking tricky ones:
- “study” → “studies”
- “race” with plural subject → “race”
- “speed” for “the car” → “speeds”

Final Answer:
1. eat
2. lives
3. reads
4. wear
5. ask
6. listens
7. walk
8. studies
9. works
10. race
11. play
12. speeds
