Answer 1

In the given passage, we will fill all the verbs in their simple present form, because the given paragraph is universal truth. Universal truths are always written in simple present (present Indefinite) tense.

Rewritten Paragraph :-

» Every particle of matter _attracts_ or _pulls_ every other particle. That _is_ the law of gravitation. The sun _attracts_ the earth and the earth in turn, _attracts_ the moon.



» For singular, we use s/es after the verb in simple present tense. For singular, 'is' is used as a form of be in simple present.

» For plural,the verb is written in its first form in some present tense without s/es. 'Are' is used as a form of be in simple present.
