4. Раскройте скобки, поставив глаголы в Present Continuous. 1. I (read) a very good magazine at the moment. 2. Joe and Ron (play) football.

На фото полностью видно упражнение 4 — решаю его. Нужен Present Continuous: \(am/is/are + V_{ing}\).

1. I am reading a very good magazine at the moment.
2. Joe and Ron are playing football.
3. The police officer is talking to us.
4. I am making a cup of coffee.
5. We are studying for our tests.
6. Lots of people are listening to the radio at the moment.
7. You are standing on my foot!
8. Hurry up! The bus is leaving.
9. I am sitting on the sofa.
10. Look! Freddy is carrying two baskets.
11. Why are you crying?
12. The boys are running at the stadium now.
13. Mary can’t talk to you now. She is having a shower.
14. My parents are staying at their friends’ place this week.
15. Let’s go, it is getting dark.

Как рассуждать:

• \(am\) ставим с \(I\), \(is\) — с \(he/she/it\) и существительными в единственном числе, \(are\) — с \(we/you/they\) и множественным числом.
• К глаголу добавляем -ing: \(make \to making\), \(sit \to sitting\), \(get \to getting\).
• В вопросе \(am/is/are\) выходит на первое место: \(Why\ are\ you\ crying?\)
• Слова \(now\), \(at\ the\ moment\), \(Look!\), \(this\ week\) подсказывают Present Continuous.

Проверка: во всех ответах есть \(am/is/are + V_{ing}\), а форма глагола согласована с подлежащим. В №6 в оригинале, судя по фото, пропущено \(to\): правильно — listening to the radio.
