Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the mistakes. We’re looking for errors in verb tense, subject-verb agreement, or word form.
---
1. My father works at the moment.
→ “At the moment” means right now — so we need present continuous:
is working.
Also, the corrected version should start with a capital letter if it’s a full sentence (but since the example shows lowercase, we’ll follow that style).
✔ Corrected: *my father is working at the moment.*
---
2. I am often playing football on Saturdays.
→ “Often” and “on Saturdays” mean this is a regular habit → use simple present, not present continuous.
✔ Corrected: *I often play football on Saturdays.*
---
3. She iswanting to buy a new computer.
→ “Want” is a stative verb — we don’t usually use it in continuous form. Also, “iswanting” is missing a space.
✔ Corrected: *She wants to buy a new computer.*
---
4. My children doesn’t like reading.
→ “Children” is plural → needs “don’t”, not “doesn’t”.
✔ Corrected: *My children don’t like reading.*
---
5. We have breakfast now.
→ “Now” means right now → use present continuous.
✔ Corrected: *We are having breakfast now.*
---
6. The girls are skip in the playground.
→ After “are”, we need the -ing form of the verb. “Skip” → “skipping”.
✔ Corrected: *The girls are skipping in the playground.*
---
7. Ann gets up at 6 o’clock and is having breakfast every day.
→ “Every day” = routine → both verbs should be simple present. “Is having” → change to “has”.
✔ Corrected: *Ann gets up at 6 o’clock and has breakfast every day.*
---
8. I’m sorry I don’t have time. I cook dinner.
→ If you’re saying you can’t do something because you’re busy right now, use present continuous for what you’re doing.
✔ Corrected: *I’m sorry I don’t have time. I am cooking dinner.*
---

1. my father is working at the moment.
