Pronoun Test 3

Simple present tense is used to ask general questions/ make generalized statements. Here, we are referring to what the person does, which is a fact or general truth about that person. Hence, we use the simple present tense. The syntax for simple present tense (in interrogation) is: Do (es) + subject + Verb in its first form ( wIth singular subject) / Do + subject + verb in its first form (with plural subject). 'I' & 'You' are exceptional cases which, in spite of being singular subjects, take the verbs of plural subjects. Therefore, the correct option is: do you do. 

Option C is the correct answer because 'do' is used in plural and does in singular nouns. So here, it is correct.

The given sentence states a fact about the speaker 'I'. (general truth)
The simple present tense describes a daily habit, or a general truth. Hence, the given sentence is in simple present tense.
A general truth is in the simple present, because it was and is always going to be true.
Option A: 'Play' and 'don't play' both refer to the simple present. The former is in the affirmative, and the latter in the negative. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'Plays' and 'does not play' refer to third person narrative, whereas 'I' is in the first person. (I play, she plays)
Option C: 'Was playing' and 'was not playing' are in the past continuous tense. They describe a continuous action that happened in the past. But, the sentence is stated as a general truth, an action that is true even in the present.
Option D: 'Have played' and 'have not played' refer to the present perfect tense. They describe an action that has been completed in the present. It means that the action has ended; so it does not relate to the given sentence.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

Option A is the correct answer because 'live' is used to express to have your home somewhere,hence it is the correct answer.

Option D is the correct answer because 'to drink' means to take liquid into the body through the mouth, so it is the right answer as coffee is a beverage that is to be drank.

Simple present tense is used to indicate regular actions/facts. The given statement explains a regular action/fact. Therefore, the verb has to be in the simple present tense. The syntax for simple present tense is : Verb in its first form + (s / es) (wIth singular subject) / verb in its first form (with plural subject). As 'Olympic games' is a plural subject, the correct option is: take place. 

Option D is the correct answer because 'does' is only used in singular, third person nouns, hence in this case, it is correct to say, "where does Martin come from?".

Option D is the correct answer because "takes" is used for singular, third person nouns. "how long does it take" is correct because 'does' is also as a singular , third person noun, hence it is correct.

Option C is the correct answer because 'does not' is used in singular third person statements as in this one. 

The appropriate verb option is - cause. Simple present tense is used to indicate facts. The given statement explains a fact. Therefore, the verb has to be in the simple present tense. The syntax for simple present tense is: Verb in its base form + (s / es) (wIth singular subject) / verb in its base form (with plural subject). 'Bad driving' is a singular subject, therefore, the correct option is: causes.
