[amp_mcq option1=”is eating” option2=”ate” option3=”was eating” option4=”eats E. will have eaten” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A. is eating<\/p>\n
The sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to talk about things that are happening now or that happen regularly. In this case, the speaker is saying that they are looking after their neighbor’s dog as well as their own, and that the dog eats two kilos of meat a day. This is a regular occurrence, so the present continuous tense is the most appropriate tense to use.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they do not agree with the tense of the sentence. Option B, “ate,” is in the past tense, which would be used to talk about something that happened in the past. Option C, “was eating,” is also in the past tense, but it is the progressive form of the past tense, which is used to talk about something that was happening at a specific time in the past. Option D, “eats,” is in the simple present tense, which would be used to talk about something that happens regularly or always happens. Option E, “will have eaten,” is in the future perfect tense, which would be used to talk about something that will have happened by a specific time in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
