Answer Key with Detailed Explanations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. I ___ a student.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Correct answer:<\/strong> b) am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explanation:<\/strong>
The subject \u201cI\u201d<\/strong> is always followed by \u201cam\u201d<\/strong> in the present simple form of to be<\/em>.
\u201cI is\u201d and \u201cI are\u201d are never correct.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    I am a teacher.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    I am tired.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. She ___ from Spain.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Correct answer:<\/strong> b) is<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Explanation:<\/strong>
    The subject \u201cshe\u201d<\/strong> is a third-person singular pronoun.
    With he \/ she \/ it<\/strong>, we always use \u201cis\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      She is happy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. They ___ my friends.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Correct answer:<\/strong> c) are<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Explanation:<\/strong>
      \u201cThey\u201d is a plural subject.
      Plural subjects (you \/ we \/ they<\/strong>) use \u201care\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        They are students.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        • \n

          Explanation:<\/strong>
          \u201cHe\u201d is third-person singular.
          With he<\/strong>, the correct form of to be<\/em> is \u201cis\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n
