1. I _____ a series on Netflix at the moment. (watch)

Explanation

The correct answer is 'm watching, am watching because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to describe an action happening at the moment of speaking. The subject "I" is followed by the auxiliary verb "am" and the present participle form of the verb "watching". Since the sentence is referring to an ongoing action in the present, both options 'm watching and am watching are correct.

Explanation

The question is asking about the possession of a printer. The correct answer options "do they have" and "have they got" both indicate the same meaning of ownership.

3. He _____ to the gym twice a week. (go)

Explanation

The correct answer is "goes" because it is the present tense form of the verb "go" that agrees with the subject "He." In this sentence, "He" is the third person singular pronoun, so we use "goes" instead of "go" to match the subject.
