Students can practice forming present continuous verbs and negative sentences using these fun, illustrated prompts.

Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet.

---

Section 10: Fill the blank and then write negative sentences as in the examples.

We are practicing Present Continuous tense — that means we use “is/am/are + verb-ing” for actions happening now.

Also, we need to make a negative sentence using the word in parentheses (like “flowers”, “sea”, etc.).

---

✔ Example given:
> Mark is water _ing_ the plants.
> → Negative: *Mark isn’t watering the flowers.* (because “flowers” was given)

So we follow this pattern:

---

1. Mrs. Green is swim___ in the pool.

- Add “-ing” → swimming
- Now make negative with “(sea)” → She is NOT swimming in the sea.
→ So: *Mrs. Green isn’t swimming in the sea.*

---

2. She is drink___ coffee at the moment.

- Add “-ing” → drinking
- Make negative with “(tea)” → She is NOT drinking tea.
→ So: *She isn’t drinking tea.*

---

3. He is walk___ his dog.

- Add “-ing” → walking
- Make negative with “(cat)” → He is NOT walking his cat.
→ So: *He isn’t walking his cat.*

---

4. Her grandmother is knit ___ a sweater.

- Add “-ing” → knitting (note: double ‘t’ because “knit” ends with consonant-vowel-consonant? Actually, no — “knit” becomes “knitting” — yes, double t)
- Make negative with “(gloves)” → She is NOT knitting gloves.
→ So: *Her grandmother isn’t knitting gloves.*

---

Section 11: Write the verbs in Present Continuous.

We must use the correct form: subject + am/is/are + verb-ing

---

1. Mrs Robert ___ his bike at the moment. (ride)
→ Already done: *is riding* ✔

---

2. They ___ the piano now. (not/play)
→ Negative present continuous: They are not playing → *aren’t playing*

---

3. My daddy ___ the newspaper. (read)?
→ Question mark suggests it might be a question? But instruction says “write verbs in present continuous”. Let’s assume it’s a statement unless told otherwise.
But wait — there’s a “?” after (read). Maybe it’s meant to be a question? The example doesn’t show questions though. Looking back — all others are statements. Probably typo or just emphasis. We’ll treat as statement.

→ My daddy is reading the newspaper.

BUT — if it’s a question, it would be: *Is my daddy reading the newspaper?*
However, since the instruction says “Write the verbs in Present Continuous” and other items are statements, I think it’s safe to do statement.

Wait — let me check again. Item 3 has a “?” right after (read). That likely means it’s supposed to be a QUESTION.

Looking at the image description — yes, there’s a girl thinking with question marks — so probably item 3 is meant to be turned into a question.

So:

→ *Is my daddy reading the newspaper?*

But the blank is before “the newspaper”, so structure is:

“My daddy ________ the newspaper.” → If it’s a question, we’d have to rearrange. But the blank is where the verb goes.

Actually, looking at how it’s written:

“3. My daddy ________________ the newspaper. (read) ?”

The “?” is outside the sentence — maybe indicating uncertainty? Or maybe it’s a mistake.

To be safe — since all other items are affirmative or negative statements, and only this one has a ?, perhaps it’s meant to be a question.

In many worksheets, when they put a ? like that, they want you to make a question.

So let’s do both possibilities — but since the instruction says “Write the verbs in Present Continuous”, and doesn’t specify question, but the ? is there… Hmm.

Wait — look at item 5: “Mr John ___ a ball. (not/throw)” — that’s clearly negative.

Item 2 is also negative.

So item 3 might be intended as a question.

I think best approach: since there’s a “?” symbol next to it, we should form a question.

So:

→ *Is my daddy reading the newspaper?*

But the blank is in the middle — “My daddy ___ the newspaper.” — to make a question, we’d need to move “is” to front.

That doesn’t fit the blank.

Alternative interpretation: maybe the “?” is just punctuation error, and it’s meant to be a statement.

Given that, and to match format of others, I’ll go with statement.

Final decision: Since the blank is placed where the verb phrase goes, and no instruction to change sentence type, I’ll treat it as statement.

→ *My daddy is reading the newspaper.*

But let’s see what makes sense with the rest.

Actually, re-examining: In section 11, item 1 is positive, item 2 is negative, item 3 has a ?, item 4 positive, item 5 negative.

Perhaps item 3 is meant to be a question. How can we write it?

If we keep the structure “My daddy ___ the newspaper.” and add “?”, then the only way is to put “is reading” and accept the ? as extra.

Or — maybe it’s “My daddy ___ the newspaper?” meaning we fill the blank and the whole thing is a question — which would require inversion.

This is ambiguous.

But in most elementary worksheets, if they want a question, they write “___ my daddy ___ the newspaper?” or similar.

Here, it’s “My daddy ___ the newspaper. (read) ?”

I think safest is to ignore the ? as typo or emphasis, and write the verb in present continuous as statement.

So: *is reading*

Similarly, in real classroom context, teacher might clarify, but here we proceed.

---

4. Our friends ___ in the park. (swing)
→ Our friends are swinging in the park.

---

5. Mr John ___ a ball. (not/throw)
→ Negative: Mr John is not throwing a ball → *isn’t throwing*
