[emrys29]

It's always OK to include है

[mercyberg]

Doing so marks the answer as wrong for me, I've reported it

[Madhav_Malhotra]

I think that's fine. I'm a native speaker from New Delhi, so I wouldn't know much about proper grammar though.

[jakeisthesnake]

Should "बच्ची सेब नहीं खाती है" also be accepted?

[PolyglotCanavar]

As a learner, yes it should be.

[Raja_Hindustani]

How does one know that this is apples and not apple?

[Gita-ji]

It could be the apple or an apple.

[Owen-Benjambavan]
