Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb in brackets. Use the standard form preferred for involuntary perception at this moment: Even with the window shut, I ___ the street musicians from here. (hear)
Richtige Antwort
can hear
Erklärung
Can hear is required because the sentence describes involuntary perception at the present moment. Am hearing would treat passive perception as an unfolding action, which standard usage normally avoids.
