Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. We don’t like him because he always ___ lies. A. tell B. was telling C. tells D. are telling

tell
was telling
tells
are telling

The correct answer is C. tells.

The sentence is in the present tense, so the verb “to tell” should also be in the present tense. The other options are in the past tense (B), the past participle (A), and

the present progressive (D).

Here are some examples of how the verb “to tell” can be used in a sentence:

  • I told you not to go there.
  • She told me a story.
  • The teacher told us to be quiet.
  • I’m telling you the truth.

I hope this helps!
