The correct answer is '1' i.e. I'm tired of working .

Key Points

  • Option 1 is grammatically correct and conveys the idea of being tired due to working.
  • Option 2, "I am tired to working," is incorrect because "tired" should be followed by "of" when expressing fatigue related to an activity.
  • Option 3, "I'm tiring of working," is incorrect because "tiring" implies an ongoing process and does not fit the context of the sentence.
  • Option 4, "I'm tired and working," is grammatically correct but does not answer the question as intended since it implies two separate actions.

Correct sentence: I'm tired of working.

Additional Information

  • Usage of "tired of":
    • "Tired of" is used to express irritation, boredom, or exhaustion caused by a repeated activity or situation.
    • Example: I'm tired of waiting for the bus.
  • Common Errors:
    • Using "tired to" instead of "tired of" is a common grammatical mistake.
    • "Tiring" cannot replace "tired" in this context as it changes the meaning of the sentence.
