3. You need is the poem by heart. (to learn)​

"To learn" is the verb that needs to be put in the present continuous tense. The present continuous tense is used to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking or actions that are planned or scheduled in the future.

The present continuous tense is formed by using the verb "to be" in the present tense, followed by the base form of the main verb with the -ing ending.

In this case, the sentence is "You need is the poem by heart." To make it present continuous, we need to use "to be" in the present tense and the base form of "to learn" with -ing added.

Now let's break it down and create the present continuous form:

1. Subject: "You" - This remains the same.
2. Verb: "Need" - This also remains the same.
3. Verb: "To be" - We need to add the present tense of "to be," which is "are" or "am" for "you." In this case, "you" is the subject, so we will use "are."

The sentence in the present continuous form becomes "You are need is the poem by heart."

However, this sentence does not make sense grammatically. We need to rearrange it to make it correct.

The correct form should be: "You are learning the poem by heart."

Explanation: In this sentence, "You" is the subject, "are" is the present tense form of the verb "to be," and "learning" is the present continuous form of the verb "to learn." So, the corrected sentence means that "You are in the process of learning the poem by heart."
