Help freshman Leo complete his slightly desperate email home by choosing the correct verb forms.
Dear Mom and Dad,
College is great, but I _________________________ surviving mostly on instant noodles. My new roommate, Dave, _________________________ completely obsessed with his pet iguana. The worst part is that the iguana's heat lamps _________________________ keeping me awake all night. Please send coffee!
Love,
Leo
I am surviving mostly on instant noodles.
The pronoun "I" always takes the verb "am" in the present tense.
My new roommate, Dave, is completely obsessed with his pet iguana.
"Dave" is a singular third-person subject (he), which takes "is".
The worst part is that the iguana's heat lamps are keeping me awake all night.
"Heat lamps" is a plural noun, which takes the plural verb "are".
