The word "is" is the helping verb used with the subject "man" to show the present tense, and "trying" is the present participle of the verb "try". Therefore, "is trying" correctly represents the ongoing action of the man attempting to open the door.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "check" because the sentence is referring to a habitual action that the speaker usually does before going to bed. The verb "check" is the most appropriate choice in this context as it implies that the speaker regularly looks at their emails before going to sleep.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    He usually (try) his best.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "tries" because the verb "try" is used in the third person singular form when the subject is "he". In this sentence, "he" is the subject and "tries" is the correct form of the verb to agree with the subject.

The sentence is indicating that he is currently eating lunch, which is why he is unable to repair the car at the moment.
