[amp_mcq option1=”Will you play” option2=”Are you playing” option3=”Did you play” option4=”Were you playing” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. Are you playing
The sentence is in the present tense, so the verb must also be in the present tense. The other options are in the past tense, which would not make sense in this context.
- Will you play is in the future tense. It would be used if the speaker was asking about someone’s plans for the future.
- Did you play is in the past tense. It would be used if the speaker was asking about someone’s actions in the past.
- Were you playing is also in the past tense. It would be used if the speaker was asking about someone’s actions in the past, but it would be more formal than “Did you play.”
In this case, the speaker is asking about someone’s plans for the present, so the verb must be in the present tense. Therefore, the correct answer is “Are you playing.”
