  • 2. 

    The teacher....................teaching grammar.

    • Are teaching

    • Is teaching

    • Teaching

    Correct Answer
    A. Is teaching
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is teaching" because the subject "teacher" is singular, so it requires the singular form of the verb "to be" (is) to agree with it. Additionally, the word "teaching" is the present participle form of the verb "teach," which is used to show an ongoing action in the present.

    David and Steve...................planting flowers in the garden.

    • Are planting

    • Is planting

    • Planting

    Correct Answer
    A. Are planting
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are planting." This is because the subject of the sentence, David and Steve, is plural. In English, when the subject is plural, we use the verb form "are" to agree with it. Therefore, "are planting" is the correct choice to show that both David and Steve are participating in the action of planting flowers in the garden.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The student.....................writing an e-mail.

    • Is writing

    • Are writing

    • Writing

    Correct Answer
    A. Is writing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is writing" because the subject "student" is singular, so the verb should also be singular. In this case, the present continuous form "is writing" is used to indicate an action that is happening at the moment of speaking.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    My father and I.......................in the mall.

    • Are shoping

    • Are shopping

    • Shopping

    Correct Answer
    A. Are shopping
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are shopping". This is because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating that the action of shopping is currently happening. The subject "My father and I" is plural, so the verb "are" is used instead of "is".
