The correct answer is “read.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verb “read” is irregular and is the same in both the present and past tense. In the present, when used with I, it remains “read” (pronounced as \/red\/ in the past tense, but as \/ri\u02d0d\/ in the present).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other options are incorrect:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“reads” is used with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“reading” is the present participle form, used in continuous tenses (e.g., “I am reading”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“readed” is not a correct form of the verb; “read” is used for both the present and past tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the sentence should read:
I read a book.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
