Understanding the Simple Present Tense
The simple present tense is used to describe habits, routines, and general truths. It is formed using the base form of the verb for most subjects, with specific rules for third-person singular subjects.
Analysis of the Options
- Option A: She go to the gym every day.
This sentence is incorrect because "go" should be "goes" when referring to the third-person singular subject "she." The correct form is "She goes to the gym every day."
- Option B: I drinks coffee in the morning.
This sentence is also incorrect. The verb "drinks" is incorrect for the first-person singular subject "I." The correct form is "I drink coffee in the morning."
- Option C: He plays tennis on weekends.
This is the correct sentence. Here, "plays" is the correct form of the verb for the third-person singular subject "he." It accurately describes a routine.
- Option D: They watches TV in the evening.
This sentence is incorrect because "watches" is the incorrect form for the plural subject "they." The correct form is "They watch TV in the evening."
Conclusion
The correct answer is option C: "He plays tennis on weekends." This sentence adheres to the rules of the simple present tense, making it the only grammatically correct choice among the options provided.
