Present Simple Vs Present Continuous 4 - Mixed - Quiz

Questions and Answers

1.

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.

2.

She ________ her homework now. (not do)

Explanation
The correct answer for this question is "isn't doing,'s not doing, is not doing". These options all convey the same meaning, which is the negative form of the verb "do" in the present continuous tense. This suggests that the person mentioned in the sentence is currently not doing their homework.

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.

________ a printer? (they have)

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. "Do they have" is a standard question form, while "have they got" is a more informal way of asking the same thing. Both options are grammatically correct and can be used interchangeably in this context.

They ________ right now. (not swim)

Explanation
The correct answer is "aren't swimming,'re not swimming,are not swimming" because the phrase "aren't swimming" is the contraction of "are not swimming" and "re not swimming" is the contraction of "are not swimming". These phrases indicate that the action of swimming is not happening at the present moment.
