Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) swims
  2. B) swimming
  3. C) swim
  4. D) to swim
  5. E) swum
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: C

No presente simples, o -s aparece apenas na terceira pessoa do singular; com sujeitos no plural, como "whales", usamos o verbo na forma base. Por isso a resposta é "swim" e "swims" está errado por falta de concordância. "Swimming" e "swum" precisariam de um verbo auxiliar antes (are, have) para funcionar em uma frase afirmativa.
