Write sentences and questions use the present simple or present continuous form of the verb.
1. you/do/your/homework at the moment?
2. sssh! the baby/sleep!
3. i/not like/bananas.
4. we/live/at number 23.
5. the sun/shine/now?
6. we/have/lunch at 12.30 every day.
7. jean/not/go/to school on wednesday afternoons.
8. it/not rain/now.
Moving on to the second sentence: "Sssh! The baby is sleeping!" In this case, we also use the present continuous form because the baby is currently in the state of sleeping.
Next, we have the sentence: "I do not like bananas." Here, we use the present simple form because we are talking about a general or habitual dislike for bananas, not something happening at this specific moment.
In the fourth sentence: "We live at number 23," we use the present simple form because we are stating a fact about where we currently reside.
Now, onto the fifth sentence: "Is the sun shining now?" We use the present continuous form because we are referring to an action happening right now – the sun shining.
Moving to the sixth sentence: "We have lunch at 12.30 every day." Here, we use the present simple form because we are talking about a routine or habit.
In the seventh sentence: "Jean does not go to school on Wednesday afternoons," we are using the present simple form because we are talking about a regular occurrence – Jean not going to school every Wednesday afternoon.
Lastly, in the eighth sentence: "It is not raining now," we use the present continuous form because we are referring to an action not happening at this moment – it not raining.
