Question

I __________ tennis with Sania for a week now.

• A. was playing
• B. have been playing
• C. has played
• D. played

Answer 1

Answer:

B. have been playing

• "Was playing" is in the past continuous tense, which describes an ongoing action that was happening in the past.
• "Has played" is in the present perfect tense, but "has" should be used with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).
• "Played" is in the simple past tense, which does not fit well with "for a week now," as it suggests a completed action in the past (ഇത് pastൽ പൂർത്തിയാക്കിയ പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു).
• "Have been playing" is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and has continued up to the present (pastൽ ആരംഭിച്ചതും presentൽ തുടരുന്നതുമായ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ വിവരിക്കാൻ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന..)
• • "I have been playing tennis with Sania for a week now." / ഞാൻ ഒരാഴ്ചയായി സാനിയയ്‌ക്കൊപ്പം ടെന്നീസ് കളിക്കുന്നു.
