Present Continuous tense is described as the tense that is employed to denote the actions that began in past and is taking place right now and have the possibility to continue in the future as well. It is framed using 'subject + is/am/are + V1 + ing + object' to show the progression of the action. For example;

He is sitting.

They are riding the bike.

Thus, the given sentences are filled using the correct form as per the context of the sentence.

Answer 2

We can complete the description using the correct present continuous form of the verbs in the box as follows:

1. is sitting

2. is looking

3. are looking

4. is looking

5. is sitting

6. are staying

7. aren't enjoying

8. are wearing

9. isn't wearing

10. is hanging

11. are lying

• The present continuous tense is used to talk about actions that are taking place at the moment of speaking.

• The structure of the tense is:

subject + to be (present) + verb -ing

• When adding -ing to verbs, we must take a few things into consideration:

- if the verb ends in -ie, we must substitute the -ie for -y: lie --> lying

- if the verb ends in -e, the -e must be dropped: dance --> dancing

- if the verb has only one syllable and ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the last consonant: run --> running.

- in American English, the same happens if the verb has two syllables and the last syllable is stressed. Keep in mind the CVC structure: refer --> referring.
