Rewrite these sentences using seem (to be). a. Mr. Thapa is very friendly. b. He is very civilized. c. He studies hard. d. He is always ready to help others. e. He scores excellent marks.

Here are the rewritten sentences using the modal verb **'seem'** to express possibility or appearance:

**a.** Mr. Thapa **seems to be** very friendly.

**b.** He **seems to be** very civilized.

**c.** He **seems to study** hard.

**d.** He **seems to be** always ready to help others.

**e.** He **seems to score** excellent marks.

**Explanation:**

- The verb **'seem'** is used to indicate how something or someone appears or is perceived by others. It suggests that the qualities or actions described may not be entirely certain but are likely or observable.

- In **a, b, and d**, we use **'seems to be'** because the sentences describe inherent qualities (friendliness, civilization, readiness).

- In **c and e**, we use **'seems to'** (without 'be') because these sentences describe actions (studying, scoring) rather than states of being.

- The structure follows the pattern: **Subject + seems (to be) + adjective/adverb + complement** or **Subject + seems + to-infinitive** for actions.
