Step-by-step solution for: Present Simple Tense ESL Grammar Exercises Test Worksheet
Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step. We’ll fill in the blanks using the Present Simple tense — that means we use the base form of the verb for “I, you, we, they” and add -s or -es for “he, she, it”.
---
We look at the subject (who is doing the action) to decide if we need to add -s or not.
1. I → have
2. You → go
3. She → plays (she + play → plays)
4. He → does (he + do → does)
5. They → eat
6. We → live
7. It → runs (it + run → runs)
8. You → watch
9. She → studies (she + study → studies – y changes to i + es)
10. He → has (he + have → has)
11. I → like
12. They → work
13. She → watches (she + watch → watches – ch needs es)
14. He → teaches (he + teach → teaches – ch needs es)
15. We → drink
✔ All done!

Again, check the subject!
1. My brother → works
2. They → don’t like (negative: do not + base verb)
3. She → doesn’t eat (negative: does not + base verb)
4. We → play
5. He → doesn’t speak
6. I → study
7. You → do
8. She → doesn’t live
9. They → don’t go
10. He → doesn’t drink
✔ Done!
