  • Ron is looking forward to returning home.
  • Is Paul going to attend the meeting? No, he isn't.
  • Are Henry and Johnny going to watch a football match?
  • Amanda goes cycling wit her friends every day. She loves it.

Explanation:

 This exercise contains several verb tenses and the objective is for you to identify the correct verb tense or form of verb that goes in each case.

To do this, you can help yourself with the context of the sentence, the people who are carrying it out, etc.

Remember that: going to is used when we know with some certainty what is going to happen. And, following this same logic, when we talk about something that we have already decided to do.

And as for verbs followed by a gerund, there is no specific rule that determines their use, but there are several known verbs that meet this, such as<em> enjoy, mind, imagine, avoid, finish, look forward to, miss, risk, suggest, recommend, keep.</em>

The incidences of elder abuse in the united states are
ira [324]

The incidences of elder abuse in the united states are increasing by about 75-150%

Elder abuse, also known as abuse of the elderly, is any act, whether one time or repeatedly, or a lack of appropriate action, that harms or distresses an elderly person while taking place in a relationship where there is a trusting expectation. This sort of violence, which encompasses physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse as well as financial and material exploitation, abandonment, neglect, and severe loss of respect, constitutes a violation of human rights.

  • Elder abuse is a significant public health issue. According to a 2017 study of 52 studies from 28 different nations and distinct locations, one in six adults (or 15.7%) who are 60 years of age or older have experienced abuse in the previous year. The review offers prevalence estimates of the percentage of older persons impacted by various forms of abuse, notwithstanding the paucity of comprehensive data.
  • There are few statistics available on the severity of the issue in institutions like hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities. However, a review of recent studies on the abuse of elderly people in institutions  shows that 64.2% of staff members admitted to abusing elderly individuals in the previous year.

How to convert words into for memorization?
Svetach [21]
Use phases that aid you in memorization of the certain word it's called mnemonics.
