Answer 1

Write the correct form of the verb 'listen' as indicated in the parentheses.

Explanation:

The main verb to be used in the following sentences is 'Listen.'

1. I listen to bedtime stories every night. (Simple present tense)

• The rule of the simple present tense is Subject + V1 + object(plural subjects)

• Therefore 'listen' is used in the sentence.

2. She listened to the news yesterday. (Simple past tense)

• The rule of the simple past tense is Subject + V2 + Object.

• Therefore, the V2 form of 'Listen' 'Listened' is used in the sentence.

3. Yeng will listen to her newly downloaded songs tonight. (Simple future tense)

• The rule of the simple future tense is Subject + will + V1 + object.

• Therefore, 'will listen' is used in the sentence.

4. Wellie had listened to the voice clip before the battery of his gadget was completely drained. (Past perfect tense)

• The rule of the past perfect tense is Subject + had + V3 +object.

• Therefore, 'had listened' is used in the sentence.

5. We were listening to the instruction while doing the activities. (Past progressive tense)​

• The rule of the "past progressive tense/ past continuous tense" is Subject + was/were +V-ing + object.

• In the given sentence, the subject is plural, therefore 'were listening' is used.
