Exercise 3: Fill in the gaps
The instruction asks to read the sentences and fill in the gaps with the correct auxiliary verb (do or does) and the main verb, as well as prepositions of time.
- 1. A: When does Lulu go to Maya's house?
B: On Saturdays.
- 2. A: When do Larry and Paco play soccer?
B: In the afternoon.
- 3. A: When does Grandma eat biscuits?
B: On Sundays.
- 4. A: When does Larry and Lulu watch a video?
B: At night.
- 5. A: When does Chuckles take a bath?
B: On Fridays.
- 6. A: When does Nanny Shine listen to music?
B: In the evening.
Explanation:
- We use 'does' for the third person singular (he, she, it, or a singular noun like Lulu, Grandma, Chuckles, Nanny Shine). We use 'do' for other persons (I, you, we, they, or plural nouns like Larry and Paco).
- The main verb remains in its base form after 'do' or 'does'.
- Prepositions of time are used to indicate when something happens: 'on' for days, 'in' for parts of the day (morning, afternoon, evening) or months/years, and 'at' for specific times or 'night'.
