Let's look at the tasks and fill in the blanks using the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions that are happening right now. 1. **Dad / do a crossword / read a book** - **A:** *Is Dad doing a crossword?* - **B:** *No, he isn’t. He’s reading a book.* 2. **Mary / play computer games / do homework** - **A:** *Is Mary playing computer games?* - **B:** *No, she isn’t. She’s doing homework.* 3. **the dog / play in the garden / sleep by the fire** - **A:** *Is the dog playing in the garden?* - **B:** *No, it isn’t.
