Hello pineda08,

I'm not completely sure that I understand your question.

In question 1 the answer is 'keeps eating' because the subject is 'he', which is a third-person form and so the verb ends in 's'.

In question 4 the answer is 'keep talking' because the subject is 'you', which is a second-person form and so the verb does not end in 's'.

Good Day Everyone:-
Away from the that case of flag;moreover,irrespective of any other notice about the video, i verily liked the clear detailed accent, the vehicle whereby they presented the grammatical notion in addition to the funny spirit the characters were showing up. when all is and done, i would apply the same way of presenting grammar in front of my
students.
