Last updated May 13, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option A —
rains
Why "rains" is the correct choice:
Habitual Action: The phrase "very often" indicates that this is a recurring, habitual, or routine event. When describing a regular habit or a general truth, we use the Simple Present Tense.
Subject-Verb Agreement: Since "it" is a singular third-person pronoun, the verb "rain" must take the "-s" ending, making it "rains."
Why the other options don't fit:
B) rained: This is the Simple Past Tense. It would only be used if we were talking about a specific instance in the past (e.g., "It rained here last April").
C) is raining: This is the Present Continuous Tense. It is used for an action happening right now at this exact moment (e.g., "Look out the window, it is raining here right now").
D) had rained: This is the Past Perfect Tense. It is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past; it doesn't fit a habitual statement
