Teaching Notes per Question:

Answer: (2) flies
- Subject "flock" is a collective noun treated as singular in P3. Singular subject takes singular verb "flies".
- Common mistake: choosing "fly" because "birds" is plural.
Answer: (2) studied
- "brother and I" = plural subject, past time "yesterday" → simple past "studied".
- Mistake: using present "study".
Answer: (2) wears
- Indefinite pronoun "everyone" is singular → "wears".
- Mistake: "wear" (plural form).
Answer: (3) is cooking
- "Right now" = present continuous → "is cooking".
- Mistake: simple present "cooks".
Answer: (3) were flying
- Past continuous for action interrupted by past event "rain started" → "were flying".
- Mistake: "fly" (present).
Answer: (2) finished
- "last night" = simple past → "finished".
- Mistake: present "finishes".
Answer: (3) under
