|---|---|---|
| A. Every day Naresh leaves home for the morning walk at 5am. | III. leaves | Clue word: "Every day" shows a habit, so the simple present. |
| B. Yesterday Naresh left at 5pm so as not to miss the office bus. | IV. left | Clue word: "Yesterday" shows a finished time in the past, so the simple past. |
| C. The manager noticed that Naresh has been leaving the office early for almost a month now. | II. has been leaving | Clue words: "for almost a month now" show an action that began in the past and is still going on, so the present perfect continuous. |
