Present Simple vs Present Continuous

She ........... television every night

• watch

• watches

• is watch

• is watching

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'watches' because it agrees with the subject 'She' in the present simple tense. 'Watch' is incorrect as it does not match the subject, while 'is watch' and 'is watching' are grammatically incorrect.

They ........... to the gym every Saturday

• go

• goes

• are go

• are going

We ........... a picnic now

• have

• has

• are have

They ........... their homework after school on Friday

• do
