Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 2017 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.

Each time he opens his mouth, he _____ something foolish. 

Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "says." In this sentence, we need a verb that matches the present tense of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is "he," which is singular and third-person, and the tense is present. The only option that matches both the tense and subject-verb agreement is "says." "Saying" is the present participle form of the verb and could be used in a different sentence structure, but it doesn't fit in this sentence as the main verb. "Said" is the past tense of the verb and doesn't match the present tense of the sentence. "Say" is the base form of the verb and doesn't match the third-person singular subject "he."
