Question

Select the most appropriate form of the verb to fill in the blank:

Jim is very untidy. He _______ (always/leave) his things all over the place.

• A. is always leaving
• B. always leaves
• C. always left
• D. have always left

Answer 1

The correct option is B always leaves

Option B is the correct answer because ‘leaves’ means going away from someone or something, and it is correct to say that the train leaves on time.

Option C and D are incorrect because ‘left’ is the past tense of leave, while the statement is in the present tense.

Option A incorrect because is always leaving means it is leaving every moment, which is incorrect.
