Question

Complete the sentence by choosing the correct form of the verb:
Keshav: Well, the jeans _______ all right. Perhaps I should buy the jeans instead.
a) fits
b) fit
c) is fitting
d) is fitted

Answer 1

Hint: A verb is the word class that serves as the predicate of a sentence. It is a content word that denotes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. For example- She is dancing.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'fits', refers to a verb in the singular simple present tense.
Therefore, option (a.) is not correct as the noun ‘jeans’ in the sentence is not treated as singular.

Option (b.), ‘fit', refers to a verb in the plural simple present tense.
Therefore, option (b.) is correct as the noun ‘jeans’ in the sentence is plural.
“Keshav: Well, the jeans fit all right. Perhaps I should buy jeans instead.”

Option (c.), ‘is fitting', refers to a verb that is not in simple present tense form.
Therefore, option (c.) is not correct as we need a verb in the simple present tense.

Option (d.), ‘is fitted', refers to a verb which is in the present tense form.
Therefore, option (d.) is not correct as we need a verb in the simple present tense.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the students to note that the tense of the second sentence is present tense, more specifically, simple present tense. This indicates that the first sentence should also be a simple present tense.
