Explanation:
- English Grammer emphasises on the subject- verb agreement .
- The verbs in a sentence follow the singularity or plurality according to the subject.
- They also maintain the tense aspect as per the requirement of the sentence.
- In the first sentence the verb 'asked' asserts the simple past tense. Hence the corresponding verb will be in the present tense-going.
- Since the second sentence is a continuation of the first the next verb is also in the present tense-get.
- The third sentence is an interrogative sentence beginning with the verb 'is' hence the corresponding verb will be in the continuous sentence-going.
- The reporting verb in the fourth sentence has to be in the past tense as it reports a narration in the direct speech which has already occurred Hence the verb is -wondered.
- Since the passage is in the past tense the verb in agreement will be-give.
