Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to pick the correct form of the verb in parentheses so it matches the subject (who or what is doing the action).
Remember:
- If the subject is
one person or thing (singular), we usually add an “s” to the verb (like “drives”, “has”, “eats”).
- If the subject is
more than one (plural), we use the base verb without “s” (like “drive”, “have”, “eat”).
- Special verbs like “be” and “have” have their own rules — we’ll handle them as we go.

1. Alexia ______ (to drive) to work every morning.
→ Alexia = one person → singular → needs “drives”
2. Peter and John ______ (to have) coffee together.
→ Two people = plural → use “have”
3. John’s team ______ (to eat) pizza after games.
→ “Team” is one group → singular → “eats”
4. His car ______ (to be) is too slow.
→ Wait — this says “is too slow” already? That means the blank should be filled with “is” because “car” is singular. But the verb given is “to be”. So for present tense, singular: “is”
5. Matt ______ (to play) football on Saturdays.
→ Matt = one person → “plays”
6. The two cats ______ (to fight) all the time.
→ “Two cats” = plural → “fight”
7. His boss ______ (to be) always mean.
→ “Boss” = one person → singular → “is”
8. She ______ (to shout) at her animals every day.
→ “She” = singular → “shouts”
9. The milk ______ (to have) been outside too long.
→ “Milk” = uncountable noun → treated as singular → “has” (because “have been” becomes “has been” for singular)
10. Her class ______ (to be) too noisy.
→ “Class” = one group → singular → “is”
