    Corrections:

    The woman openS the window every morning.

    The girl useS the switches every day. 

    The boy openS the door. . .

    You DO the same as the boy. . .

     

    Very small mistakes but I think you did very well.

    When the noun/subject is singular (only speaking of 1) then be sure to add the S to the verb.  ex.  the boy opens, the girl uses.

    If it is plural (speaking of more than one) you do not use the S on the verb.  ex.  the boys open, the girls use

    I agree with Tomara.

    Also:  "is/are + verb(infinitive)" = happening right now.  For example: The woman is opening the window = she's opening the window now.  The man is pulling.... = he's doing it now.   

    Most of the time, if one describes what someone does repeatedly, one uses the conjugated verb form:    She opens the window (every day).  He takes the taxi to work (every day).  We go to the grocery every week.
