| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) As a ritual, Mona sings every day for two hours to perfect her skill. | (III) sings | "Every day" and "as a ritual" show a habit, so the simple present is used. |
| (B) I don't want to miss the concert as Mona will be singing my favourite songs. | (I) singing | "Will be + -ing" is the future continuous: an action in progress at a future time (during the concert). |
| (C) Mona has been singing since she was five years old. | (IV) has been singing | "Since" with a starting point shows an action that began in the past and is still going on: the present perfect continuous. |
| (D) Mona had sung the old numbers so many times that she knew the songs by heart. | (II) had sung | The singing happened before another past state ("she knew"), so the past perfect is used. |
