Correct option is D
The sentence “The boys are playing hockey.” is in Present Continuous Tense (वर्तमान काल में चल रही क्रिया).
- Structure of Present Continuous Tense:
- Subject + is/are/am + Verb-ing
- In the given sentence:
- are → helping verb (सहायक क्रिया)
- playing → verb + ing (मुख्य क्रिया)
- The action is happening right now (इस समय हो रही है).
Why other options are incorrect:
- Simple Present Tense – uses base form/verb + s (e.g., play/plays)
- Simple Future Tense – uses will/shall
- Present Perfect Tense – uses has/have + V³
Hence, the correct answer is Present Continuous Tense.
