   A daily habit.

   • wash
   • I

11. 11. Zet de woorden in de juiste volgorde.

    A food habit.

    • eats
    • My brother
    • fish.
    • never

    'Never' goes before the action word.

    Show solution

    My brother never eats fish.

    Use 'never eats,' not 'doesn't never eat.' 'Never' already gives the sentence a 'not' meaning.

    Sam gets to work early every day.

    Sam ___ late for work.

    • is always
    • is never

    The sentence needs 'is' and a word that matches Sam's routine.

    Show solution

    Sam is never late for work.

    'Early' means before the start time; 'late' means after it. Put 'never' after 'is' here.
