Explanation:
We need to fill in each blank with the correct verb form that matches the subject and the given infinitive (the base verb in parentheses). Remember:
- For
singular subjects (he, she, it, or a singular noun like *Angela*, *the teacher*), we usually add
-s or
-es to the verb (present simple tense).
- For
plural subjects (they, we, the children, the boys, etc.), we use the
base form of the verb (no -s/-es).
- Also watch for special cases like verbs ending in -y, -ch, -sh, -x, -o, or -s — they may need -es.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
The children ______ Pokémon cards. (to collect)
→ “The children” is plural → use base form:
collect
✔ *The children collect Pokémon cards.*
2.
Angela ______ ketchup on her eggs. (to put)
→ “Angela” is singular (she) → add -s:
puts
✔ *Angela puts ketchup on her eggs.*
