Question

Выберите правильный вариант используемого сказуемого (Simple Tenses, Continuous Tenses): The motors (to perform) __________ at the moment. 1)are not performing 2)not are performing 3)do not perform

Answer 1

2) not are performing

Answer 2

The motors are not perfoming at the moment.

Answer 3

1. are not performing.

This sentence requires the use of the present continuous tense to describe an action that is happening right now. "Are not performing" is the correct form of the present continuous negative.

Option 2) "not are performing" is incorrect because the auxiliary verb "not" should come before the main verb "are".

Option 3) "do not perform" is incorrect because it uses the simple present tense, which does not convey the idea of an action happening at the moment.
