| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) He usually wakes up at 6 a.m. every day. | (II) wakes up at | "Usually" and "every day" show a habit, so the simple present is used. "At" goes before a clock time. |
| (B) By this time tomorrow Akura will be jogging in the park. | (IV) Akura will be | "By this time tomorrow" points to an action in progress at a future moment, so the future continuous (will be + -ing) is used. The blank also needs a subject, which only (IV) gives. |
| (C) They had already left before we arrived at the party. | (I) had already left | Of two past actions, the one that happened first takes the past perfect (had + past participle). They left before we arrived. |
| (D) She was reading a book when the phone suddenly rang. | (III) was reading a book | A longer action in progress when a short action interrupted it takes the past continuous. The phone rang while she was reading. |
