Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We don't like him because he always ___ lies.

• A. tell
• B. was telling
• C. tells
• D. are telling
• E. has told

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

tells

Option C is the correct answer because "tells" is the third person present form of "tell" which is correct here because a third person is giving his opinion.

Option A is incorrect because 'tell' is a verb used in plural form while here "he" is talked about so it is singular form.

Option B is incorrect because it is only in past tense, while he "always " tells lies, so it in the present.

Option D is incorrect because "are telling" is sued for plural forms, while the statement is about "him" so it is singular form.

Option E is incorrect because it is past tense while statement is in present tense.
