Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence.
Here is coming my brother.
a) Comes
b) Come
c) Not coming
d) Can come

Hint: Here the sentence has a singular tense, in the case of simple present tense it takes the form of present participle form of the verb and we add an ‘s’ at the end for the singular subject and in case of plural, it remains as it is.

Complete answer:
 The above sentence is in present tenses and the subject (my brother) is in singular form (or singular subject).
Now, The simple present tense takes the present participle form of the verb and for singular subjects takes the suffix’s’ and for plural, subjects remains as it is.
So, considering the above-given explanation let us take a look into the different options and see if we can find the right one to use here.
First of all, we are changing – ‘is coming’ from the sentence and it has a singular subject ‘my brother’.
Option (a) – ‘comes’ is the singular form that will be used in such cases (As explained above).
Option (b) – ‘come’ is used for plural subjects in the simple present tense.
Option (c) – ‘not coming’ the – ing form of a verb is used for continuous tenses and not in cases like above.
Option (d) – ‘can come’ indicates the ability (of someone) to come but the above sentence is more of a declarative sentence.
So, as per the above explanations, the correct solution would be option (a).

Note:
The –ing form of a verb is used for continuous tenses and not simple present tense. Hence, this is not relevant here. Therefore, do not confuse it with the correct option.
