🔑 Đáp án & Giải thích
Ví dụ 1: "Anna eats eggs every morning." Vì Anna tương đương với "she", động từ trong hiện tại đơn thêm -s → eats.
Ví dụ 2: "Tom has got a fork." Vì Tom tương đương với "he", dùng has got thay vì have got.
Ví dụ 3: Dùng this khi đồ vật ở gần người nói. Dùng that khi đồ vật ở xa người nói.
Ghi nhớ:
- Hiện tại đơn diễn tả thói quen hằng ngày.
- have got / has got = có, sở hữu.
- this = này (gần), that = kia (xa).
