Final answer:

To complete sentences with the present tense, ensure verbs agree with the subject in number and person. Use exercises in different tenses to reinforce correct usage.

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing sentences with the correct form of the present tense, it's important to match the verb to the subject's number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third). For instance:

  • Under the table, the cat (rest) peacefully - 'rests'
  • The choir usually (sing) traditional hymns - 'sings'
  • Some of the actors (memorize) their lines quickly - 'memorize'
  • Some of this song (be) hard to understand - 'is'
  • Either my brother or my sisters (do) the dishes tonight - 'do'

Practice these forms and keep an eye out for subject-verb agreement to ensure you're using the correct verb tense. Remember to look for clues within the sentence that indicate which tense is appropriate. Doing exercises in both present and past tense can help solidify your understanding.
