Question

Choose the correct (and most natural-sounding) response to complete the following sentence:

My brother-in-law ______ football in the same club as me.

• A. is playing
• B. played
• C. play
• D. plays

Answer 1

The correct option is D plays

When we are talking about facts it is a common rule to use the simple present tense. As is the case in the given sentence, option D is the correct answer because it is in the simple present tense.

Options A and B are incorrect because they are not in the simple present tense form.

Option C is incorrect because play cannot be used when it is referring to a singular noun (brother-in-law).
