Identify the sentence that correctly uses the simple present tense for...
The correct answer is option 'C' - They drink tea every afternoon.
Explanation:
The simple present tense is used to describe actions that are generally true, habitual, or ongoing. It is used to talk about routines, habits, and things that happen repeatedly or regularly.
In the given options, only option 'C' correctly uses the simple present tense for habitual actions.
Let's analyze each option to understand why option 'C' is the correct one:
a) She are jogging every morning.
- This option is incorrect because the verb 'are' is used incorrectly with the subject 'She'. The correct form of the verb for the subject 'She' is 'is'. The correct sentence would be "She is jogging every morning."
b) We plays tennis on Sundays.
- This option is incorrect because the verb 'plays' is used incorrectly with the subject 'We'. The correct form of the verb for the subject 'We' is 'play'. The correct sentence would be "We play tennis on Sundays."
c) They drink tea every afternoon.
- This option is correct because it follows the subject-verb agreement and uses the correct form of the verb 'drink' for the subject 'They'. The sentence correctly states a habitual action of drinking tea every afternoon.
d) He watch TV in the evenings.
- This option is incorrect because the verb 'watch' is used incorrectly with the subject 'He'. The correct form of the verb for the subject 'He' is 'watches'. The correct sentence would be "He watches TV in the evenings."
Summary:
Option 'C' is the correct answer because it correctly uses the simple present tense for a habitual action. The subject-verb agreement is maintained, and the verb 'drink' is used correctly with the subject 'They'.
