Answer from AI
In the sentence "Why ___ he calling now? Is it urgent?" the word "is" is missing. The verb tense is Present Continuous, formed with the linking verb "to be" in the present tense (he is) + the verb with the -ing ending (calling).
Correct version:
Why **is** he calling now? Is it urgent?
