Hope you like that one thank you so much for asking a good question
The officer accused me of stealing so i had to explain to him that i was an innocent bystander.
Answer: C) Present participle.
Explanation: present participle is the form of a verb, ending in -ing in English, which is used in forming continuous tenses (for example: he is eating), as a noun (for example: bad thinking), and as an adjective (for example: interesting facts). In the given sentence we can see an example of a present participle used to form a continuous tense: "he is swimming" so the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
When a root of a word ends in y, change the y to i if adding a suffix (easy + est = easiest; happy + ness = happiness). However, you keep the y if a vowel comes before it (play + er = player; joy + ful = joyful).
