Practice Test: Simple Present Tense- 2 - GRE MCQ

The correct answer is 'don't' because it is the contraction of 'do not', which is used with the subject 'I.'

The other options are incorrect because:

• They either lack the auxiliary verb.
• They use the wrong form of the verb.

The correct answer is 'don't' because the subject 'they' requires the plural form 'do not' in the present tense to express negation. Therefore, the sentence should be:

• 'They don't agree with my opinion.'

Usually (often) is a sign of a single present tense
Subject singular (Kathy) 
⇒ verb with the ending –s / es
⇒ Kathy usually sits in front of the window during the class.

The sentence is in the simple present tense, so we will use the 1st form of verb.
What does this word mean?

The correct answer is 'doesn't' because it is the contracted form of 'does not', which fits grammatically in the sentence.

The sentence structure requires a negation of the verb 'do', and 'doesn't' correctly provides that negation, making the complete sentence:

'He doesn't do anything to help me.'

The correct sentence structure uses 'do' to form the question about origin. This results in the phrase:

Where do you come from?

option ( a) is correct
Jane  doesn't drink  tea very often.

The correct answer is 'do' because it is used in the present simple tense to form questions about habits or routines.

The sentence structure becomes:

How often do you play tennis?

This correctly uses 'do' as an auxiliary verb to ask about frequency.

Rice doesn't grow in cold climates. This is because rice requires a warm and humid climate to grow, which cold climates typically do not provide.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

The correct answer is 'don't eat' because it correctly uses the present tense and subject-verb agreement with 'vegetarians', which is plural. This requires 'don't' instead of 'doesn't'.

This accurately reflects the general dietary preference of vegetarians:

• They do not consume meat.
• They typically follow a vegetarian diet.
