I looked this question up online and found that is has more sentences to be completed. Just in case you need them too, I will answer them.

Complete the sentences with the affirmative or negative forms of the verbs in brackets.

1. I ______ usually _______ (have) a snack between lunch and dinner.

2. She always _______ (have) a bath. She doesn't have a shower.

3. We finish school at 1 p.m. We _______ (go) to school in the afternoon.

4. They do a lot of exercise, but they ________ (play) football.

5. He ______ (wash) his hair every morning, and he always brushes it, too.

6. You've got terrible teeth because you _________ (brush) them!

Answer:

1. I don't usually have a snack between lunch and dinner.

2. She always has a bath...

3. ... We don't go to school in the afternoon.

4. ... but they don't play football.

5. He washes his hair every morning...

6. ... because you don't brush them!

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences above use the verb in the simple present tense. Here are the basic rules:

- Persons "I, you, we, they":

  • affirmative form --> the same as the infinitive of the verb without "to". For example: to eat - I eat - you eat - we eat - they eat.
  • negative form --> we place the auxiliary "don't" before the main verb: I don't eat.

- Persons "he, she, it":

  • affirmative form --> we add -s, -es, or -ies to the verb. Example: he eats / she studies / it watches.
  • negative form --> we place the auxiliary "doesn't" before the verb. The main verb goes back to the infinitive form. Example: She doesn't study.

Note: The verb "to have" changes a bit more in the third person: I have --> she has.
