Exercises about Present Continuous Tense

English
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The sentences in the present continuous are:

a) Jane is riding a bike this weekend.

b) I am jumping in the party right now.

c) My friend is doing the school's work tonight.

d) My mother is making a cake this weekend.

e) My friends and I are riding our bikes this weekend. We are enjoying it very much.

f) George is wearing long hair.

g) I am bringing a snack to school today.

h) I am sleeping until late tomorrow.

i) I am thinking of going to London next year.

j) I am playing computer games in my bedroom.

Explanation:

The present continuous structure is the following:

subject + am/is/are + main verb with -ing

We need to pay attention to the use of the present continuous as well before we can transform the sentences. <u>The present continuous is used to refer to actions that are taking place at the moment of speaking or that are to happen in a nearby future.</u> Notice that the present continuous cannot be used for habitual actions - that is for the simple present. That is why, in the sentences above, more changes were necessary. Instead of "all the weekends," which refers to a habitual action, for instance, we can use "this weekend".

NOTE: For letter F, I needed to change the verb. In English, "George is having long hair" is not an acceptable structure.

Lines 16-30 below complete the story of Bertie and Aunt Agatha.Read the conclusion of the excerpt and answer the question.

I believe the correct answer is C. Aunt Agatha can't <span>contact Gussie to get him to change his embarrassing behavior.
A is incorrect because if you read the excerpt, you will see that she meddles everywhere. B is incorrect because nowhere in the excerpt does it say Bertie believes that. D is incorrect because he hasn't agreed to anything yet, at least not in lines 16-30. However, according to aunt Agatha, Gussie is behaving in a poor manner and that should be changed.
