Write the correct variant (only verb forms): 1. James ( is / are) a student. 2. We (return / returns) home at 5 pm. 3. They (drink / drinks) milk every evening.

1. James (is / are) a student.
The correct answer is "is." We use the verb "is" with a singular subject like "James." For example, we say "He is a student" or "She is a student."

2. We (return / returns) home at 5 pm.
The correct answer is "return." We use the verb "return" for the subject "we" because it is plural. When the subject is "we," "you," "they," or any other plural pronoun, we use the base form of the verb without adding an "s" at the end.

3. They (drink / drinks) milk every evening.
The correct answer is "drink." We use the verb "drink" for the subject "they" because it is plural. When the subject is "they," "we," "you," or any other plural pronoun, we use the base form of the verb without adding an "s" at the end.

So, the correct answers are:
1. James is a student.
2. We return home at 5 pm.
3. They drink milk every evening.
