Question

He is not ________ the birds.

• A. shoot
• B. shoots
• C. shooting
• D. are shoot

Answer 1

Answer:

C. shooting

Structure of present continuous tense :subject+ is/am/are + present participle + rest of the sentence.

• "Shooting" is the present participle form of the verb "shoot" and is used to describe an ongoing action in the present.
• "Shoot" and "shoots" are the base form and third-person singular form of the verb, which are not suitable for expressing an ongoing action.
• "Are shoot" is not grammatically correct in this context.
