Which sentence uses the present simple tense correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. My brother studies in the library every evening after school.
- Step 1: Look at the subject: 'My brother' is third person singular. Step 2. The present simple adds -s or -es to the verb for he, she and it, so 'studies' is needed. Answer: My brother studies in the library every evening after school. Why not the others: the other sentences leave out the -s, add a wrong 'is', or use a bare -ing form with no helping verb.
