What is the correct form for “She ___ (read) a book right now”?

• reads

• is reading

Choose the correct sentence:

• She is liking ice cream.

• They always play soccer on Sundays.

Which of these sentences is incorrect?

• He drinks coffee every morning.

• I am reading a book now.

• She go to work daily.

Which verb form completes the sentence: “They ___ (work) on a project right now”?

• work

• works

• are working

• working

Answer explanation

The correct verb form is "are working" because it indicates an ongoing action in the present. The sentence describes what they are doing right now, which requires the present continuous tense.

What is the Present Simple form of “to play” in “She ___ tennis”?

• plays

• playing

• play

• is playing

Answer explanation

The Present Simple form of 'to play' for the subject 'She' is 'plays'. This is because in the Present Simple tense, we add 's' to the base form of the verb when the subject is third person singular.

Choose the correct question form in Present Continuous:

• You work on the report?

• Are you working on the report?

• You are work on the report?

• Working you on the report?

Answer explanation

The correct form in Present Continuous is 'Are you working on the report?' This structure uses 'are' as the auxiliary verb and the '-ing' form of the main verb 'work', making it a proper question.
