Step-by-step reasoning:
#### AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES (1–10):
In Simple Present tense:
- For
I, You, We, They → use base verb (e.g., like, play, eat)
- For
He, She, It → add -s or -es to the verb (e.g., likes, plays, eats)
Let’s go one by one:
1.
Ali and Abu → plural subject → “like”
2.
She → singular → “loves”
3.
Michael and Marcus → plural → “play”
4.
We → plural → “eat”
5.
I → always take base verb → “have”
6.
Mr. Fernandez → singular → “drives”
7.
It → singular → “has”
8.
Alicia → singular → “gets”
9.
Ah Hong → singular → “cuts”
10.
Madam Mae → singular → “sells”
#### NEGATIVE SENTENCES (11–20):
For negatives in Simple Present:
- Use
don’t with I, You, We, They
- Use
doesn’t with He, She, It
11.
He → doesn’t
12.
They → don’t
13.
You → don’t
14.
Devi → she → doesn’t
15.
Ricardo → he → doesn’t
16.
Mrs. Valerie → she → doesn’t
17.
We → don’t
18.
