Answer 1

Witaj,

1. We usually GO to school on foot.

2. Look at David. He IS MAKING lunch.

3. Josh IS PLAYING tennisthis afternoon. ( this sentence refers to the future  - określnik czasu – THIS AFTERNOON, czyli activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events.)

4. They ARE FLYING to Madrid next Friday. ( this sentence also refers to the future – określnik czasu – NEXT FRIDAY, czyli activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future event)

5. I AM GOING sailing. Fancy joining me?

6. DO YOU WANT  to try rock climbing while you're here?

7. He DOESN’T LIKE it.

8. Jane IS LOOKING FOR a new flat at the moment. 

 PRESENT CONTINUOUS – jednym z jego użyć jest właśnie – akcje dziejące się w bliskiej przyszłości, a szczególnie zaplanowane przyszłe wydarzenia.


Mam nadzieję, iż jasne.

Pozdrawiam ;)
