Explanation of Usage:

The Present Simple tense is used for habits, routines, general truths, and repeated actions. In these exercises, the verbs are conjugated in the appropriate form based on the subject (singular or plural). For example:

• With singular subjects (e.g., "he," "she," "Andrea"), we add -s or -es to the base verb: "She gets up," "He drives them."
• With plural subjects or "I" and "you," the base form of the verb is used: "We watch TV," "I get up."
  The auxiliary verb "do/does" is used for forming questions and negatives in the Present Simple: "Does she take a shower?" or "She does not have breakfast."
