Section 1: Complete the sentences using Present Continuous and underline the time expression

We are to complete sentences using the present continuous tense and underline the time expressions.

Let’s analyze each sentence:

1. I ______ (go) to work by bus today.
- Correct form: *am going*
- Time expression: today → underline it
- ✔ Sentence: *I am going to work by bus today.*

2. They ______ (play) at the moment.
- Correct form: *are playing*
- Time expression: at the moment → underline it
- ✔ Sentence: *They are playing at the moment.*

3. The baby ______ (sleep) just now.
- Correct form: *was sleeping* — but this is past continuous. However, since the instruction says "present continuous," we must use is sleeping.
- But "just now" usually refers to past time. There's a conflict here.
- If we follow the tense strictly: *is sleeping* — but that doesn’t match “just now.”
- Likely correction: Change “just now” to “now” or accept that it's a mistake.
- Best answer: *is sleeping* (assuming typo; maybe meant “now”)
- ✔ Sentence: *The baby is sleeping now.* → underline now (if changed)

4. Mary ______ (study) at the moment.
- Correct form: *is studying*
- Time expression: at the moment → underline it
- ✔ Sentence: *Mary is studying at the moment.*

5. We ______ (jump) now.
- Correct form: *are jumping*
- Time expression: now → underline it
- ✔ Sentence: *We are jumping now.*

6. He ______ (work) TV news.
- This seems incorrect. Likely meant: *He ______ (work) on TV news.*
- Correct form: *is working*
- ✔ Sentence: *He is working on TV news.*

7. ______ (you, listen) today?
- This is a question. Correct form: *Are you listening today?*
- Time expression: today → underline it
- ✔ Sentence: *Are you listening today?*

Section 2: Listen to the tape – Choose the correct answer

This section requires audio input, which we don’t have. But based on typical exercises, here are likely correct answers:

1. She ______ computer games.
- a) is playing → ✔ (present continuous for ongoing action)
- b) plays → simple present (habitual), not matching context

2. They ______ in the garden.
- a) is playing → ✘ (subject is plural)
- b) are playing → ✔

3. Look! Brown ______ dinner.
- a) is cooking → ✔ (action happening now)
- b) cooks → habitual, not fitting context

4. We ______ to school.
- a) is coming → ✘ (we = plural)
- b) are coming → ✔

5. I ______ a picture.
- a) am drawing → ✔
- b) draw → simple present (habitual), less likely

So answers:
1. a
2. b
3. a
4. b
5. a
