1. There are three ways to pronounce the words ending with -s:
- [s] after a voiceless sound such as k, f, p, t, or θ (voiceless sound produces no vibration of vocal chords): cats, hats, weeks
- [z] after a voiced sound such as ð, b, d, g, j, l, m, n, <span>ŋ, r, v, w </span>(voiced sound produces vibration of vocal chords): dogs, gloves, wolves, lives
- [ɪz] after these sounds: [tʃ], [dʒ], [s], [z] (because it would be impossible to pronounce such plural words without an additional sound [ɪ]: cockroaches, watches, bridges, buses, traces, blazes

I looked this question up and found it online. Even without the crossword puzzle, we can answer it because of the hint sentences. They are as follows:
1. I ________ pictures.
2. I ________ my grandfather.
3. I ________ exercises.
4. I ________ books.
Answer:
1. I draw pictures.
2. I help my grandfather.
3. I do exercises.
4. I read books.
Explanation:
For this question, we need to both unscramble the verbs and decide where they go.
If by looking at the scrambled letters you find it difficult to figure out what word they spell out, the best strategy is to read the sentences. They offer context. For example, suppose you couldn't figure out EARD. When you see "I _______ books," you will quickly realize that EARD spells READ because what we usually do with books is read them. The same works for the other sentences.
