8th. Classwork About Present Simple And Present Continuous

The correct answer is "rains, Rains." The first sentence is in present simple tense and is asking if the person knows that it never rains in Atacama. The second sentence contradicts the first by stating that the driest place on Earth is Antarctica. The correct answer reflects the first sentence by using the present simple tense "rains" for the verb "rain" in Atacama. The second sentence starts with a capital letter, so "Rains" is incorrect.

The correct answer is "Are, are" because the question is asking about the possibility of both Diego and Sarah getting married soon. The response "I don't think so" indicates doubt or uncertainty, suggesting that the speaker does not believe that Diego and Sarah will be getting married soon.

The correct answer is "am visiting," or "'m visiting." Both options are grammatically correct and can be used interchangeably in informal conversation. Both options indicate that the speaker has plans to visit their uncle Arthur in the evening.

The correct answer is "rises" because it is a fact that the sun rises in the east. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs every day.

The correct answer is "does, DOES, Does." In the question, the word "does" is used to form a question in the present simple tense. The verb "start" is in the base form because it follows the auxiliary verb "does." The three different capitalizations of "does" in the answer options show that it can be used in any of these forms depending on the context or personal preference.

The correct answer is "is always telling." This is the correct form of the present continuous tense to describe a repeated action or habit. In this context, it implies that Diego repeatedly tells the speaker nicknames. The other options, "Is always telling" and "'s always telling," are variations of the correct answer and also convey the same meaning.

The correct answer is "isn't travelling" because the sentence is in the present tense and "isn't" is the contraction of "is not," which is the appropriate negative form to use with the verb "travelling."

The correct answer is "travel" because it is the correct verb form to use with the subject "Patrick and Phill." When two or more people are the subject of a sentence, we use the base form of the verb (travel) without adding an -s or -ing ending.
