Grammar Rule: State Verbs

Some verbs, like 'need', 'know', 'want', 'understand', describe a state of being rather than an action. These are called 'state verbs' and are generally not used in continuous tenses (like 'is needing').

• Option a) 'is needing' uses the present continuous tense, which is incorrect for the state verb 'need' in this context.
• Option b) 'needs' is the simple present tense, which is correctly used with the singular subject 'He' for state verbs.
• Option c) 'is need' is grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, the correct verb form is 'needs'.

Answer: b) needs
