Question

Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence.

Here is coming my brother.

• A. Comes
• B. Come
• C. Not coming
• D. Can come

Answer 1

The correct option is A Comes

The simple present tense takes the present participle form of the verb and for singular subjects takes the suffix 's' and for plural subjects remains as it is. Thus, option A 'comes' is the correct answer as 'my brother' is a singular subject and the verb will take the form 'comes'.
Option B is incorrect as 'come' will be used for plural subjects in simple present tense.
Option C is incorrect as 'ing' form of the verbs are used for the continuous tenses.
Option D is incorrect as 'can come' indicates the ability of coming. Here, the sentence is not referring to the ability of the brother to come. Rather it is a declarative sentence which informs us that the brother has come.
Thus, option A is correct.
