Question

he always (say)a very little when there are strangers present.
correct the tense ​

Answer 1

Answer:

He always speaks very little when there are strangers present.

Explanation:

• The given sentence is in the simple present tense. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now or when it happens regularly or unceasingly.
• In the simple present tense, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in - s)

The sentence shows that this works happens on a regular basis with a conditions 'when' which means that when the condition is fulfilled then the first sentence takes place. So, in this type of sentence we use speaks instead of says.

Therefore the correct answer is Always speaks.

Answer 2

Answer:

He always says very little when there are strangers present.

Explanation:

• The tense of the given word is in simple present and it will remain the same.
• The singular to plural form of the verb will change according to the sentence because it comes preceding to "very little" which is a singular adjective and hence the verb has to be plural.
• The full sentence conveys that the mentioned guy is very shy in nature and takes time to open up and speak in front of strangers.
• The article "a" will be omitted because it is not needed when the verb form is in plural. It can only be used with singulars hence it will be removed.
