"मेरे दादा नदी में खड़े हैं ।"

Translation: My grandfather is standing in the river.

"Grandma is sitting in the road" and "Grandpa is standing in the river" umm... is everything okay between those two?

[mayazw]

why is the answer "is standing" and not "stands"?

[zeebo7]

This has been explained a few other places, but the rough idea is that Hindi never considers standing and sitting to be continuous actions (unless the person is literally in the act of getting up, or sitting down), even though the meaning is the same as 'is currently standing/sitting'. It's just a quirk of the language that you will have to memorize.

why is the answer "is standing" and not "stands"?

[karthiktej]

Why don't we use "खड़ा रहा है" instead of using खड़ा है

[AgnusOinas]

That would mean "...is standing up..." i.e. he's in the process of standing up. When someone is already standing, the continous tense is not used in Hindi.

Why standing on the river is wrong?

[SimricYarr]

That would mean he was standing on top of the water!
