Answer (1)
To correctly fill in the blanks with 'am', 'are', or 'is', we first need to understand the subject of each sentence and choose the appropriate form of the verb 'to be'. Here is how you can do it step-by-step:
The bees ______ buzzing around the flower.
Subject : "The bees" is plural.
Verb : "are"
Complete Sentence : The bees are buzzing around the flower.
The stars ______ shining bright.
Subject : "The stars" is plural.
Verb : "are"
Complete Sentence : The stars are shining bright.
We ______ gone to Kerala for holiday last year.
Subject : "We" is plural, and this is a past perfect sentence structure.
Verb : "had"
Complete Sentence : We had gone to Kerala for holiday last year. (Note: If the intended fill word is from 'am', 'are', 'is', none fit correctly as the sentence suggests a past perfect tense.)
I ______ not feeling well yesterday.
Subject : "I" is singular.
Verb : "was"
Complete Sentence : I was not feeling well yesterday.
She ______ a bright student.
Subject : "She" is singular.
Verb : "is"
Complete Sentence : She is a bright student.
It ______ rained a lot last week.
Subject : "It" is singular, and this should be in past perfect passive tense.
Verb : "had"
Complete Sentence : It had rained a lot last week. (Note: If the intended fill word is from 'am', 'are', 'is', none fit correctly as the sentence suggests a past perfect tense.)
This exercise is focused on understanding the subject-verb agreement and recognizing tenses within sentences in English.
