Question

It's running now , we should open an ....

Answer 1

Answer:

• The given sentence has one mistake and also it is incomplete, so we have to complete or fill the blank with proper word.

• Running will be 'raining' and 'umbrella' will be appropriate word for the blank space.

• Therefore the complete sentence is : It's raining now , we should open an umbrella.

• Umbrella is right because it starts with vowel letter 'u' and that's why 'an' has been placed before the (umbrella) blank space.

• Now the rewrite sentence has turned into an example of Present Continuous Tense because it has an auxiliary verb 'is' and 'ing' after 'rain ( rain + ing = raining).' And we know that after it 'is' is always used in Present continuous Tense.

Answer 2

The answer is an umbrella.

• It's raining now, We should open an​ umbrella.

• The correct word to be filled in the given blank is an ''umbrella''.

why do we fill the blank with the word 'umbrella'?

because we use it while raining.

• we use the word umbrella instead of raincoats because observe the given determiner/article that is given in front of the blank. The given article is ''an.''

• Article "An" is used before an unspecific singular noun that begins with a vowel sound.

• The letter 'U' in the word 'umbrella' is pronounced as a vowel sound. So. ''an umbrella''.
