Question

1. Choose the correct verb form for the following sentence:

Answer 1

Well, I can help you out with this. Let's begin with the first question. Use option A, has. It is in the present perfect progressive tense. The next question is the option of B. if you replace it with the blank, it will make sense.  The next question is option A. Again, if you replace needs with need, it will sound better. The next one is option D. Is would be in the present progressive tense, indicating that something is in the process of happening. And finally, the last question's answer would be B, recall. It's another word for remember.  

Answer 2

Answer:

1) a

2) a

3) a

4) d

5) d

Explanation:

All the answers are related to subject-verb agreement:

1) the correct answer is "has" since it is the simple present form in 3rd person singular. Simple present is used for habits that take place regularly.

2) The correct answer is "passes" since it is the simple present in 3rd person singular. In this case the simple present is used to describe a routine or habit (passes by our house daily)

3) The correct revision of the sentence is "change needs to need" since "managers" is a noun in the plural form so the verb "need" has to be in the present in the plural form.

4) The correct answer is "is"  since the verb to be has the 3rd person singular form as it modifies the singular noun "list".

5) The correct answer is "remembers". The subject of expression "neither nor" is in the singular form (Jackie and James) so the verb is also in the 3rd person singular in order to achieve subject-verb agreement.
