Question

The prompt shows a fill-in-the-blank sentence: 'He ___________________ (kneel) down before bed to pray.'

First, identify the subject: 'He' is third person singular. In English, for the present simple tense, most verbs add an -s (or -es) when the subject is third person singular.

Next, apply the base verb given in parentheses: 'kneel'. To form the third person singular present tense, we typically add -s to the base form. Since 'kneel' ends with a consonant followed by a vowel and then another consonant in the stem, the standard rule is simply to add -s here, yielding 'kneels'.

We should also consider spelling adjustments: the verb 'kneel' does not require any spelling changes like dropping a letter or adding -ing or -ed in this context; we simply attach -s: kneels.

In terms of grammar meaning, 'He kneels down before bed to pray' describes a habitual or general action in the present tense, which aligns with the use of the base form plus -s for third person singular.

There are no alternative options provided to evaluate, but if another form were suggested, such as 'kneel' or 'kneeling', they would not agree with the subject-verb agreement in present simple for 'He'. 'Kneel' would be incorrect due to lack of agreement, and 'kneeling' would represent a gerund/participle form, not the simple present tense.

Therefore, the appropriate completed sentence is 'kneels' in the blank.
