Step by Step Written Solution
Hi Mühübe, let's solve this fill-in-the-blank passage about household chores and grammatical agreement together.
Reading and Grammar: Family Chores
We will fill in each blank in the text using the Present Simple tense, ensuring proper subject-verb agreement.
Let's look at the first few sentences focusing on the father's and William's tasks.
Part 1
"To me, sharing the responsibilities at home is very important. For example, my father always 1) `_______` the grocery shopping, and I sometimes 2) `_______` him. He also 3) `_______` the vacuuming and 4) `_______` the bathroom."
For blank one, the subject is 'my father', which is third-person singular, so we use 'does'. For blank two, the subject is 'I', so we use the base form 'help'.
For blanks three and four, the subject is 'He', which is third-person singular, so we use 'does' and 'cleans'.
Now let's move on to the mother's and sister's tasks in the second part of the passage.
Part 2
"My mother 5) `_______` meals and 6) `_______` up the kitchen. My sister 7) `_______` and 8) `_______` the dishwasher, and I 9) `_______` out the garbage."
For blank five and six, the subject is 'My mother'. Since it's third-person singular, we conjugate the verbs to 'cooks' and 'tidies'. Note that while the handwritten text has the base form 'tidy', grammatically it must be 'tidies'.
For blanks seven and eight, the subject is 'My sister', so we use the singular forms 'loads' and 'empties'. For blank nine, the subject is 'I', so we use 'take' in its base form.
