Question

I usually ______ very early in the morning. (get up/gets up/getting up)​

Answer 1

Answer:

I usually get up early in the morning

Answer 2

I usually get up  very early in the morning. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

• We have to fill in the blank using the correct form of the verb given in the brackets.
• In order to fill in, we have to determine the tense using the rest of the words in the sentence.
• The word 'usually' is used. So it is a routine. Past tense and future tense cannot be used. Only present tense can be used. The right form is 'get up'.
• The right form of present tense that must be used here is simple present. It is because, when there is a routine done, then the verb must be in simple present. For example, 'My son sleeps late always'. The verb 'sleeps' is in simple present because we have the word 'always' (routine).
• Universal truths must also be in simple present. For example, 'Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.' The verb 'boils' is in simple present because it is a universal truth.
• Therefore the answer is: I usually get up  very early in the morning.
