Here are the correct words for each sentence, based on English grammar rules for the verb to be and subject-verb agreement.

  1. We are at school.
  2. We are pupils.
  3. Her mum is from America.
  4. I am ten.
  5. The desks are white.
  6. Kate is my sister.
  7. My pens are on the table.
  8. His book is big.

Grammar Explanations To help you understand why these choices were made, here is a quick breakdown of the rules used:

  • The Verb "To Be":
    • Use am only with the pronoun I.
    • Use is for singular subjects (he, she, it, or one person/thing like "mum" or "Kate").
    • Use are for plural subjects (we, you, they, or multiple things like "desks").
  • Nouns (Plural vs. Singular):
    • In sentence 7, the verb is are, which requires a plural subject (pens).
    • In sentence 8, the verb is is, which requires a singular subject (book).
