London is famous for its tourist place. London is famous for its tourist place.

"London is famous for its tourist place."

Dear Sir

In the above sentence why did they use "is"? I just want to know that is it "present continuous tense or what tense is this? What "IS" means here? Is it "IS" a main verb? What is the meaning "IS" here?

Hi, Sundaran—"Is" is the main verb in that sentence. It is the only verb in that sentence. It is a linking verb. It predicates "famous" of the sentence subject ("London"). "For its tourist place" modifies "famous." "Place" should be plural.

Is it "Simple" Sentence or "Compound" Sentence?
