He usually _ his car on Sundays.
Correct answer: B. Washes
- A. Wash
- B. Washes
- C. Is washing
- D. Washed
Explanation
The correct answer is 'washes'. In the sentence 'He usually _ his car on Sundays,' the word 'usually' indicates a habitual action. For habitual actions, we use the simple present tense. Since the subject is 'he', a third-person singular pronoun, we add 'es' to the base form of the verb. Therefore, 'washes' is the correct form. The other options do not fit the context: 'wash' is the base form and not appropriate for third-person singular, 'is washing' indicates an ongoing action, and 'washed' indicates a past action.
