Items 01 to 04 cover third person -s, do not, the continuous after Look! and the verb be; items 05 to 07 cover Does questions, have dropping its e and two actions with now; items 08 to 09 cover a scientific fact and two tenses in one sentence; item 10 redoes the error of the present simple after Look!.

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | plays | Every Sunday marks a habit, so the third person singular takes -s. |
| 2 | do not like | A plural subject takes do not plus the base verb. |
| 3 | is sleeping | Look! points to what is happening now, so use is plus -ing. |
| 4 | is | The verb be with a third person singular subject is is. |
| 5 | Does … walk | A present simple question borrows Does, then the base verb follows. |
| 6 | are having | At the moment needs the continuous form: have drops the e before -ing. |
| 7 | is not studying ; is reading | Both actions with now take is plus -ing, and not goes after is. |
| 8 | boils | A scientific fact always holds, so the present simple is used. |
| 9 | stops ; is running | The timetable half takes the present simple; the today exception takes the continuous. |
| 10 | After Look! use the continuous: He is playing the piano. | Look! signals an action in progress, so the verb becomes is playing. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
