is slow to act

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe present active indicative, third person singular, expresses an ongoing or characteristic action: "he/she/it is being slow" or "acts slowly." "Is slow to act" preserves the root sense of becoming or being slow in response while reflecting the active, continuous aspect.
