Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 2)
Key Points
- In the phrase "I am understanding", the verb "am understanding" is incorrect.
- The correct verb should be "understand" because the verb "understand" is a stative verb that is not typically used in continuous forms.
- Therefore, the correct form should be "I understand" instead of "I am understanding".
Hence, the correct statement is I understand you like her because she has a generous nature.
Additional Information
- Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. Examples include believe, know, love, hate, and understand.
- These verbs are typically not used in the continuous form (is/are/am + verb-ing).
- For example, we say "I believe," not "I am believing."
