Here's the correct answer for each question on the
Simple Present Tense worksheet, along with a clear explanation for each:
---
✔ 1. I ______ that woman.
- ☐ know
- ☐ knows
✔ Correct Answer: know
Explanation: The subject “I” is first person singular, and in the simple present tense, it always takes the base form of the verb — no “s” added. So, “I know”.
---
✔ 2. We ______ to school every day.
- ☐ go
- ☐ goes
✔ Correct Answer: go
Explanation: “We” is plural (first person plural), so we use the base form of the verb — “go”. Only third person singular (he/she/it) adds “-s”.
---
✔ 3. The baby ______ every morning.
- ☐ cry
- ☐ cries
✔ Correct Answer: cries
Explanation: “The baby” is third person singular (like “he” or “she”), so we add “-s” to the verb → “cries”.
---
✔ 4. My parents ______ very hard.
- ☐ work
- ☐ works
✔ Correct Answer: work
Explanation: “My parents” is plural (they = two people), so we use the base form → “work”.
---
✔ 5. His brother ______ blue shirt every Sunday.
- ☐ wear
- ☐ wears
✔ Correct Answer: wears
Explanation: “His brother” is third person singular → verb gets “-s” → “wears”.
---
✔ 6. Everyone ______ to watch the movie.
- ☐ want
- ☐ wants
✔ Correct Answer: wants
Explanation: “Everyone” is treated as singular (even though it refers to many people), so we use “wants”.
---
✔ 7. Danny’s cat ______ a long tail.
- ☐ has
- ☐ have
✔ Correct Answer: has
Explanation: “Danny’s cat” is third person singular → verb gets “-s” → “has”. (“Have” is for plural or “I/you/we/they”.)
---
✔ 8. The water in this river ______ very clean.
- ☐ is
- ☐ are
✔ Correct Answer: is
Explanation: “The water” is an uncountable noun and treated as singular → use “is”. (“Are” is for plural subjects.)
