In this sentence, we need the passive voice because the action is being done to the subject (English).The passive form of the present tense uses
is/are + past participle.speaks, is speak, and is speaking are all incorrect because they do not follow the correct passive voice construction.Therefore, the correct answer is
is spoken. This Question Belongs to Competitive English >> Grammar
(is speaking is incorrect)
"English" is the subject.
"is spoken" is the passive voice of "speak" — because English does not do the speaking, people speak English
With ing form there is always helping verb is /am /are.. why not (is ) here?
Why not is speaking
