Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks: I --- you to plant the seed, water it and come back here.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Rule for "I": Although "I" refers to a single person, it follows the same verb rules as plural subjects (like we, you, they) in the Simple Present tense. Therefore, we use the base form of the verb without adding an "-s."
Correct: I want
Incorrect: I wants
B) wants: Used only for third-person singular subjects (He, She, It, or a name like Ram).
C) wanting: A verb ending in -ing cannot be the main verb of a sentence without an auxiliary verb (like "am wanting").
D) win: This makes no logical sense in the context of asking someone to plant a seed.
