Answer 2

1. A: When does the parade start? B: It starts at 11 o'clock, so we meet at 10:30.

Explanation: The verb "start" is in the simple present tense because it refers to a scheduled event or a regular occurrence. We use the simple present tense to describe actions happening at a specific time or as part of a routine.

2. A: Tim looks tired. Has he been having a tough time? B: Yes, and he is thinking of taking a week off.

Explanation: The verb "look" is in the simple present tense because it describes Tim's current appearance. The verb "have" is in the present tense to indicate a present situation or condition. The verb "think" is also in the present tense as it expresses Tim's current thoughts or plans.

3. A: Have you ever attended a music festival? B: Actually, I am going to the U2 concert this Sunday.

Explanation: The verb "attend" is in the present perfect tense to inquire about a past experience up to the present moment. The verb "go" is in the present continuous tense because it refers to a planned future event.

4. A: You look exhausted. What have you been doing? B: I have been digging in the garden since morning. Not done yet.

Explanation: The verb "do" is in the present perfect continuous tense because it describes an activity that started in the past and is still ongoing at the present moment. The verb "dig" is also in the present perfect continuous tense to indicate an action that started in the past and has continued up until now.
