Question

My mother.............. food now.

• A. is cooking
• B. will cook
• C. has cooked
• D. cooks

Answer 1

Answer:

D. cooks

• The word “now” shows that the action is happening at the present moment.

• For actions happening right now, we use the present continuous tense.

📌 Rule to remember:

now / at present / at the moment → is/am/are + verb-ing

Why the others are wrong:

• ❌ will cook – future action

• ❌ has cooked – action already completed

• ❌ cooks – simple present (habit), not “now”
