Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb and verb form:
Rajesh ___ his mother tongue very fluently.

• A. Speak
• B. Speaking
• C. Speaks
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Speaks

A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence is a Verb. Verbs with a third-person singular noun or pronoun (he, she, boat, courage) as a subject have an "-s" added on the end. Rajesh (noun) is in third person which means we need to use an "s" at the end of the verb. "Speaking" is a verb that is used in present continuous tense which is not the case here. The answer here is "speaks".

Option C is correct.
