Understanding Simple Present Tense
The simple present tense is used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and facts. It typically follows a structure where the base form of the verb is used for subjects such as I, you, we, and they, while third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) require an "s" or "es" at the end of the verb.
Identifying the Incorrect Sentence
In the provided options, the incorrect sentence is:
- b) He understand the problem.
This sentence does not adhere to the rules of the simple present tense for the third-person singular subject "he."
Correct Formulation
The correct form should be:
- He understands the problem.
Here’s why:
- Third-Person Singular Rule:
- For subjects like he, she, or it, the verb must be conjugated with an "s" or "es."
- Examples for Clarity:
- Correct: She runs every morning.
- Incorrect: She run every morning.
Review of the Other Options
Let’s confirm that the other sentences are correctly formed:
- a) The Earth orbits the sun.
- Correctly uses "orbits" for the third-person singular subject "The Earth."
- c) Cats chase mice.
- This is correct as "chase" is used with the plural subject "Cats."
- d) Trees lose their leaves in autumn.
- Correctly uses "lose" with the plural subject "Trees."
Conclusion
In summary, option b is incorrect due to the failure to apply the proper conjugation of the verb "understand" for the third-person singular subject. Understanding these rules is crucial for mastering the simple present tense in English grammar.

b)

|

Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
- In the English language, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number.
- In this case, the subject "She" is singular, so the verb "walks" should also be singular to match.
Correct Sentence:
- The correct sentence is "She walks to school every day." because the singular subject "She" is correctly paired with the singular verb "walks."
- The incorrect options do not follow the rule of subject-verb agreement.
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
- Option 'a' is incorrect because it uses the plural verb "walk" instead of the singular "walks."
- Option 'c' is incorrect because it uses the past tense verb "walked" instead of the present tense "walks."
- Option 'd' is incorrect because it uses the present participle "walking" instead of the singular present tense "walks."
Therefore, the correct sentence is "She walks to school every day."
