Answer 2

Answer:

• The given blanks are asked to fill with present continuous tense of the verbs given in brackets, so they are mentioned below with explanation.

a) The boy______ (draw) a picture.

• The boy is drawing a picture.

• Boy is a third person singular number, that's why according to gramatical rules or structure 'is' is appropriate for the blank space.

b) They _______(play) in the field.

• They are playing in the field.

• They is a third person plural number and we know that 'are' is used after it.

c) Ranjan_________ (write) a letter.

• Ranjan is writing a letter.

• Again Ranjan is a third person singular number, so 'is' is correct.

• Structure of Present Continuous Tense ( affirmative ) : Subject + auxiliary verb ( am / is / are ) + main verb + ing + object.

• Example : I am going to school .
