the following text using the present simple form of the verbs in the brackets.
Peter Hanson starts his day at 7:00. He has his breakfast in the kitchen with the family.
He likes orange juice, toast, and milk. He always
has an apple; his mother believes ''an apple a day keeps the doctor away.'' After breakfast, Peter makes his bed and tidies
up his bedroom. He gets ready for
lessons. He mustn't be late; his mother is very strict.
At 8:00, the other
Hanson kids start their lessons. At
midday, they have their lunch. Then, it's
sports time: they love playing
basketball, in-line skating, and skateboarding. After a refreshing shower, the
famous Hanson brothers rehearse till
dinner because their fans are very
demanding: they want every detail to be
okay.
Peter and his brothers do not have dinner
with their parents as their father is always late. Their mother does not like it
very much. So, on weekends they are
always together.
Note: In the first paragraph, all
the subjects are singular, so singular verbs are used but in the second and
third paragraphs, all the subjects are plural, so plural verbs are used in the
blank spaces.
