*(Plural subject → plural verb)*

→ *Sarah likes* slow music very much.
*(Singular subject → adds -s)*

3. I ________ (brush) my teeth twice a day.
→ *I brush* my teeth twice a day.
*(First person singular → no -s)*

4. She ________ (do) her homework regularly.
→ *She does* her homework regularly.
*(Third person singular → adds -es)*

5. The train ________ (leave) the station at 8:00 a.m.
→ *The train leaves* the station at 8:00 a.m.

6. Mrs. Brown ________ (do) all the work at home.
→ *Mrs. Brown does* all the work at home.

*(Note: "a" is missing — should be "takes a shower")*

---

B. Circle the correct answer

Choose the correct subject that matches the verb.

1. Robert / I like walking in the rain.
→ *I like walking...*
*(Because "like" is plural, it needs a plural subject or "I", which is first person. "Robert" is singular. So "I" is correct.)*
✔ I

2. Susan / It usually comes home at 4:00 p.m.
→ *It usually comes home...*
*(“It” is used for things/animals; “Susan” is a person. But here, the sentence says “comes”, so subject must be singular. “It” fits better as a placeholder for a pet or object. But if we're talking about Susan, it should be “Susan comes”. However, “It” is not appropriate unless referring to an animal. Likely, the intended correct choice is “Susan” because “Susan comes home” makes sense.)*
✔ Susan

3. Jane / Mary and Sue always cleans her room.
→ *Mary and Sue always clean their room.*
→ But here, “cleans” is singular, so subject must be singular.
→ "Jane" is singular, so: *Jane always cleans her room.*
✔ Jane

4. Bill / You come to the class late.
→ "You come" is correct with "You".
→ "Bill" would be: "Bill comes" → but verb is "come", so plural.
✔ You

5. Helen brushes her teeth every night. / Jenny / I swim very well.
→ Both are grammatically correct, but we need to choose one.
→ The sentence is: "Helen brushes..." – this is correct.
→ "Jenny / I swim" – "I swim" is correct, but "Jenny swims".
→ Since the sentence has "brushes", it's Helen’s action.
✔ Helen

6. Betty / You sings well.
→ "Sings" is third person singular → subject must be singular.
→ "You" is second person → uses "sing"
→ "Betty sings" is correct.
✔ Betty

7. They / My uncle live in New York.
→ "Live" is plural → subject must be plural.
→ "They live" is correct.
→ "My uncle lives" → singular
✔ They

Use don't or doesn't + base verb.

→ She doesn’t drink coffee every day.
