Answer 2

1. Curd costs fifty rupees a liter.

1. My mother just arrived from Karnal.

iii. My sister is writing a book at the present moment.

All the above words that have been used to fill in the blanks are verbs that are in different tenses.

• Tenses are words that depict the time period or tenure of an activity, event or phenomenon.

1. In the first sentence we understand that the phenomenon that is being spoken about is one which goes on. It is continuous. Thus, the simple present tense of the verb has been used.
2. In the second sentence, we understand that the event that is being spoken about has already happened and thus, is in the past. Thus, the simple past tense of the verb has been used.
3. In the third sentence, we understand that the activity that has been mentioned is one which has already started and is still going on. Thus, we use present continuous tense.
