Answer 2

The answers are as follows:

1. They usually eat dinner at home.

2. The children are fond of sweets.

3. She has been studying for five hours.

4. The earth moves around the sun.

5. My teacher explained the scenery.

• Since the everyday activities are indicated by the simple present tense, 'eat' will be used in place of 'ate' in the first sentence.

• The preposition 'of' is used to show fondness for something.

• When the period of work has been mentioned, we use the preposition 'for.'

• Earth is a unique element. Thus, it takes the article 'the.'

• At a time, only one scene can be present in front of us. Thus the singular word 'scenery' will be used in the last sentence.
