Let's solve the given sentences by filling in the correct verb forms in the present simple tense. Remember that for he/she/it, we usually add an 's' at the end of the verb.

### Affirmative Sentences
1. I live in Godelle. (to live)
- "I" is the subject and we use the base form of the verb for the first person singular.
2. You look great. (to look)
- "You" is the subject and the verb "look" remains in its base form.
3. Daisy loves chocolate. (to love)
- "Daisy" (third person singular) requires adding 's' to the verb, hence "loves".
4. Andy drives too fast. (to drive)
- "Andy" (third person singular), so "drives" with an 's'.
5. It never snows in Cairo. (to snow)
- "It" (third person singular), hence "snows".
6. We have lunch at two. (to have)
- "We" (first person plural) keeps the base form "have".
7. They watch football on Saturdays. (to watch)
- "They" (third person plural) keeps the base form "watch".
8. Jane and Carla play rugby on Sundays. (to play)
- "Jane and Carla" (third person plural) keeps the base form "play".

### Interrogative Sentences
9. Do I like hamburgers? (to like)
- To form an interrogative in the present simple for "I", we use "Do" + subject + base form of the verb.

### Negative Sentences
10. Sammy and I rarely watch TV. (to watch)
- "Sammy and I" (first person plural) uses the base form "watch" along with the adverb "rarely" to indicate the negative frequency.

11. It is often sunny in Valencia. (verb "to be" in present simple)
- "It" (third person singular of "to be" is "is"), hence "It is often sunny".

12. We have the same gymnast list goal. (to have)
- "We" (first person plural) keeps the base form "have".

13. She eats the right food early. (to eat)
- "She" (third person singular) requires adding 's' to the verb, hence "eats".

### Corrected Sentences
Now, let's write all these sentences together correctly filled out:

1. I live in Godelle.
2. You look great.
3. Daisy loves chocolate.
4. Andy drives too fast.
5. It never snows in Cairo.
6. We have lunch at two.
7. They watch football on Saturdays.
8. Jane and Carla play rugby on Sundays.
9. Do I like hamburgers?
10. Sammy and I rarely watch TV.
11. It is often sunny in Valencia.
12. We have the same gymnast list goal.
13. She eats the right food early.

By following these steps, we've filled the gaps with the correct verb forms in the present simple tense.
