Select the answer that replaces the underlined verb in the sentence below with the correct present tense verb.

They complained about having to do their chores. 

Possible Answers:

complaining 

complains

complaines

complain

Correct answer:

complain

Explanation:

The simple present tense is the way to talk about facts. It tells what is always, sometimes, or never true, or what happens over and over.

It uses the base form of the verb, except in the third person singular. 3rd person singular (he, she, or it-- one person or thing) ends in -s.
