Rewrite the following sentences using the correct form of the words given in the brackets:

a) The boy (run) _______________ very fast. (present continuous)

b) She (write) _______________ a letter yesterday. (past continuous)

c) They (play) _______________ football now. (present continuous)

e) We (watch) _______________ a movie at this time tomorrow. (future continuous)

Answer

· Based on the official syllabus and past papers
Updated

Here are the correctly rewritten sentences with the appropriate verb forms in the present continuous, past continuous, and future continuous tenses:

a) The boy (is running) very fast. (Present Continuous) Explanation: The present continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "is/am/are" + the present participle (verb + -ing). Since "boy" is singular and third-person, we use "is running."

b) She (was writing) a letter yesterday. (Past Continuous) Explanation: The past continuous tense is formed using "was/were" + the present participle (verb + -ing). Since "she" is singular, we use "was writing."

c) They (are playing) football now. (Present Continuous) Explanation: The present continuous tense is formed using "are" (since "they" is plural) + the present participle (verb + -ing). Thus, "are playing" is correct.

d) He (was reading) a book when I came. (Past Continuous) Explanation: The past continuous tense is used for an ongoing action in the past. Here, "was reading" correctly describes the action that was happening when another event (I came) occurred.

e) We (will be watching) a movie at this time tomorrow. (Future Continuous) Explanation: The future continuous tense is formed using "will be" + the present participle (verb + -ing). Thus, "will be watching" is the correct form for an action that will be in progress at a specific future time.

Additional Notes for Clarity:

  • Present Continuous is used for actions happening now or around the present time.
  • Past Continuous is used for actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past.
  • Future Continuous is used for actions that will be in progress at a specific future time.

These sentences demonstrate the correct usage of continuous tenses in different contexts, ensuring grammatical accuracy and proper verb conjugation.
