(b) Ranjan ……. (eats/eat) angee cream everyday.

(c) I ………. (will do/did) it laterg not today.

(d) The earth ……….. (go/goes) round the sun.

Answer -

(a) We finished our dinner an hour ago. 

Reason : The phrase "an hour ago" indicates a past action, so we use the past simple tense of the verb "finish," which is "finished."

(b) Ranjan eats ice cream every day. 

Reason: The subject "Ranjan" is singular, and the sentence describes a habitual action (happens every day). In the simple present tense, singular subjects take the verb in the -s form, so "eats" is correct.

(c) I will do it later, not today. 

Reason: The phrase "later, not today" suggests a future action. In future tense, we use "will" with the base form of the verb, so "will do" is correct.

(d) The earth goes round the sun.

Reason: This sentence states a universal truth or scientific fact. In simple present tense, singular subjects like "the earth" take the -s form of the verb, so "goes" is correct.
