Объяснения:

I. Для заполнения пропусков следует учитывать правила согласования подлежащего и сказуемого. Глагол "is" используется в единственном числе, тогда как "are" используется во множественном. Например, "There is a book" (единственное число), но "There are many flowers" (множественное число).

II. В этих предложениях важно помнить, что если существительное во множественном числе, используем "are". Например, "There is a little table" (единственное число), но "There are two armchairs" (множественное число).

IV. При преобразовании предложений в отрицательные формы глаголов в настоящем времени для первого лица единственного числа и всех лиц во множественном числе используем "don't" (do not). Для третьего лица единственного числа используем "doesn't" (does not). Например, "My brother doesn't get up" (третье лицо единственного числа) и "I don't watch TV" (первое лицо единственного числа).
