Exercises about Present Continuous Tense

English
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]2 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.

From the poem Ithaka, ''What does the speaker say will make the traveler wealthy?''
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own <em>"Ithaka"</em> or in this sense, one's life end or goal.<em> "Ithaka"</em> here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

<em>Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, </em>

<em>you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.</em>

According to the poet, <u>it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.</u>

Can someone pls make a poem that rhymes that is all im asking
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Life after death :

You only live once so sit back and enjoy

No time for sorrows so fill it up with joy

This way of thinking is totally wrong

Our total existence is forever long

Life is for eternity its stages are four

The first is in the womb, but hold on there's more

The second is from birth until the moment we die

The third takes place in the place where we lie

Barzakh is it's name until judgement day

The fourth is eternity and in heaven we pray!

The soul splits from the body at the time we die

Then with the angel of death, they both will fly

If the person is pious, the angel looks handsome And the wicked will wish, that they could ransom

For the pious, the soul is taken on a piece of silk Eventually, they're in heaven with rivers of milk

The evil person's soul is dragged out with pain Then they know, their life was in vain

When Allaah gives the order, the soul is returned

Either to a bed of paradise, or else to be burned

The soul is returned, while the family are grieving

And then he is questioned while his loved ones are leaving

At that time the person will be in such a state

He is asked three questions which determine his fate

He will be panicking, his heart...full of fear

When he sees the angels, Munkar and Nakeer

He will be asked about his God, religion and what did he say

About the person who appears in front of him that day,

That will be Muhammad (peace be upon him)..

who can save us from hell The pious will recognise him

But others won't tell

After answering rightly they are saved from the ordeal

Of the torments of the grave, which to us seem unreal

Their grave is extended and in peace they stay,

They will praise Allaah and continue to pray

A window of paradise is seen and they sleep in bliss

Whereas the unbelievers grave becomes hell's abyss

Creatures are let loose on their fronts and back

Their graves close in until their ribs will crack

They are in constant agony until judgement day

Nothing will help, it will be too late to pray

They will know because of themselves, their future is wrecked

But they won't have a clue what to further expect

For the believer, it passes like a good night's sleep

His good deeds have been done, the rewards he shall keep

Judgement day will pass like the time for a prayer

At the speed of light he crosses the bridge, thin as a hair And before he knows it, he is in paradise

Whereas the unbeliever, will be paying his price

This life is a journey, death isn't the end

Real life goes on, so don't just pretend

So prepare now, we're not here to stay...

Follow islam, the key is to pray

Brothers and sisters take this advice

I guarantee You'll be proud of yourself, when in paradise!

IN SHAA ALLAAH!!!
