B. This guy makes his own instruments.
Answer B
I disagree with both of your answers.
The four statements below describe the meaning of the tenses used
1.Jack stopped to call a friend.
2.What are you doing?
3.I was hoping to hear from you.
4.this guy makes his own instruments
Identify the sentence which is being described?
A. verb describes an ongoing action
B. verb describes an action which is finished now but lasted for some time in the past
C. verb describes a brief action started and completed in the past
D. verb describes a habitual or repeated action
I'm confused here is try
A matches with 2
B matches with 3
C matches with 1
D matches with 4
Your answers are correct.
To identify the verb in each sentence, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the sentence carefully.
2. Determine the subject of the sentence (the person or thing performing the action).
3. Look for the word that describes the action or state of being (verb).
4. Consider the context and any clues provided.
Now let's apply these steps to the given sentences:
1. Jack stopped to call a friend.
- Subject: Jack
- Action verb: stopped
- Infinitive verb: to call
- Since "stopped" is the main action verb, it describes an ongoing action.
2. What are you doing?
- Subject: you
- Action verb: doing
- The verb "doing" describes the ongoing action being performed by the subject "you."
Therefore, the verb in the first sentence describes an ongoing action, and the verb in the second sentence also describes an ongoing action.
