Present Simple Multiple Choice Quiz

A1-A2 Level

Multiple choice exercises help you recognise the correct present simple form by choosing from several options. Each question gives you a sentence with a gap and two or more possible answers. Your job is to read the sentence carefully and pick the right verb form based on the subject and whether the sentence is positive, negative, or a question.

The key to answering correctly is to check the subject first — is it he/she/it (third person) or I/you/we/they? Then check if the sentence is positive, negative, or a question. In positive sentences, he/she/it needs -s or -es on the verb. In negatives, look for "doesn't" (he/she/it) or "don't" (I/you/we/they) followed by the base form. In questions, "Does" goes with he/she/it and "Do" goes with the others. Multiple choice is a common format in Cambridge exams and other English tests, so practising this format prepares you for real exam situations where you must choose quickly and accurately between similar options.
