He ____ to school every day.
go
gone
going
goes
In the simple present tense for third-person singular subjects like 'he', the verb takes an - es ending, so 'go' becomes 'goes'. This makes 'He goes' correct.
I saw ____ cat in the garden.
the
an
no article
a
When mentioning a singular, countable noun for the first time, we use the indefinite article 'a'. Thus 'a cat' is correct.
She is ___ home now.
in
to
at
on
The correct preposition for indicating someone's location at their residence is 'at'. We say 'at home'.
I ____ breakfast at 7 AM every day.
am having
has
have
had
For habitual actions, English uses the simple present tense. 'I have breakfast' shows a regular routine.
Where ____ you live?
do
are
does
did
To form a question in the simple present with 'you', we use the auxiliary 'do'. Hence, 'Where do you live?' is correct.
I have lived here ____ 2010.
until
from
since
for
In present perfect tense, 'since' indicates the starting point of an action or state, so 'since 2010' is correct.
They will arrive ____ Monday morning.
by
at
in
on
We use 'on' with days and parts of days, so 'on Monday morning' is the correct expression.
Listen! The birds ____ (sing) in the garden.
sung
will sing
are singing
sing
The present continuous is used for actions happening right now. With 'Listen!' we choose 'are singing'.
Would you like ____ apple or ____ orange?
an ... a
an ... an
a ... a
a ... an
Both 'apple' and 'orange' start with vowel sounds, so each requires 'an'.
The dogs ____ at strangers.
bark
barks
barked
barking
A plural subject ('dogs') takes the base form of the verb in the simple present, without - s.
They ____ dinner when I called last night.
were having
having
have had
had
The past continuous is used to describe an action in progress at a specific past moment; 'were having' fits this context.
He is sitting ____ the table reading a book.
on
at
in
by
The phrase 'at the table' indicates someone's position next to or by the table, which is idiomatic.
What time ____ the train leave?
do
is
does
did
For third-person singular subjects in present simple questions, we use 'does', so 'Does the train leave?' is correct.
She bought ____ new dress for ____ party.
the ... the
a ... a
a ... the
the ... a
'New dress' is mentioned for the first time, so 'a'; 'party' is understood as a specific event, so 'the'.
By the time we arrive, he ____ his homework.
will finish
will have finished
finishes
has finished
The future perfect tense ('will have finished') shows completion of one future action before another future event.
Neither the teacher nor the students ____ late for class.
is
were
are
be
With 'neither … nor', the verb agrees with the nearest subject ('students', plural), so we use 'are'.
She is ___ honest person.
the
no article
an
a
'Honest' begins with a vowel sound (the h is silent), so the correct article is 'an'.
They divided the cake ___ six equal pieces.
into
for
between
in
The verb 'divide' is followed by 'into' when specifying the number of parts created.
I wish I ____ more time to study.
have
have had
will have
had
When expressing a present unreal situation after 'wish', English uses the past simple form ('had').
Turn this active sentence into passive: 'The chef prepares the meal.' Which is correct?
The meal was prepared by the chef.
The meal prepares the chef.
The chef is preparing the meal.
The meal is prepared by the chef.
To form the present simple passive, we use 'is prepared by' plus the agent; thus 'The meal is prepared by the chef.'

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master Subject-Verb Agreement - Subject and verb need to be the ultimate tag team: if your subject is solo, your verb stays singular, and if your subject is a squad, your verb goes plural. Picture it like a dance - one dancer (She runs) vs. a flash mob (They run) - to keep your sentences in step. Spot these mismatches and your writing will always be in perfect rhythm! unr.edu
  2. Understand Common Verb Tenses - Think of verb tenses as your personal time machine: present ("I eat"), past ("I ate"), and future ("I will eat") each tell a different story. Practice shifting between these time zones to nail your narrative's timeline. Mastering tenses keeps your readers from getting lost in the time warp! unr.edu
  3. Use Articles Correctly - Articles are like traffic signs: "a" and "an" guide you to any random item, while "the" points to that one special thing everyone knows. Remember to pick "a" before consonant sounds, "an" before vowel sounds, and "the" when you've already met the noun. Follow these signals to avoid collision in your sentences! unr.edu
  4. Identify and Use Prepositions - Prepositions are your sentence's GPS, showing where things are: "in," "on," "at" and beyond. Whether you're "in the room," "on the table," or "at noon," these little words map out relationships. Nail your prepositions and you'll never take a wrong turn in communication! unr.edu
  5. Recognize Sentence Patterns - Sentences are built on patterns like Subject-Verb-Object (SVO): "The cat (S) chased (V) the mouse (O)." Identifying these blueprints helps you craft clear, well-structured statements. Think of patterns as the Lego instructions for your writing masterpiece! unr.edu
  6. Differentiate Between Commonly Confused Words - Don't let "their," "there," and "they're" crash your party: "their" owns it, "there" points to a place, and "they're" is short for "they are." A quick check before you hit send saves you from embarrassing mix-ups. Keep these triplets straight and watch your credibility soar! unr.edu
  7. Practice Using Modal Verbs - Modal verbs are your power tools - "can" gives ability, "should" offers advice, and "must" signals necessity. Sprinkle them into sentences like "You can ace this quiz" or "You must practice daily" to add clear intent. These little helpers pack a big punch! unr.edu
  8. Learn the Use of Conjunctions - Conjunctions are the ultimate connectors - "and," "but," "or" link words, phrases, and clauses into meaningful chains. Whether you're joining ideas ("apples and oranges") or setting up contrasts ("I wanted to go, but it rained"), conjunctions are your sentence glue. Master them to build stronger, more fluid writing! unr.edu
  9. Understand Pronoun Usage - Pronouns step in for nouns to keep your writing from sounding like a broken record: "John is tired. He needs rest." Using "he," "she," "it," and "they" correctly avoids awkward repetition. Get your pronouns right and your prose will flow like a chat among friends! unr.edu
  10. Recognize and Correct Run-On Sentences - Run-ons are like traffic jams in writing - too many ideas squashed together without proper punctuation. Break them up into bite-sized sentences or use conjunctions and commas: "I love to write. It's my passion." Your readers will thank you for the smooth ride! unr.edu
