Answer 2

Certainly! Let's go through each sentence and choose the correct form of the verb:

1. He hardly ever chats / is hardly ever chatting online. - Both options are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. "He hardly ever chats" implies a general lack of chatting, while "is hardly ever chatting online" suggests a specific online context. Choose the one that fits the intended meaning.

2. We are never using / never use computers in the classroom. - Both options are correct, but again, they convey a slightly different nuance. "We never use computers" is a general statement, while "We are never using computers" emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action. Choose the one that suits the context.

3. Are you doing / Do you do a sport now? - Both options are grammatically correct, but they have different meanings. "Are you doing a sport now?" suggests the person is currently engaged in a sporting activity, while "Do you do a sport now?" is more general, asking about a regular or habitual activity. Choose the one that fits your intention.

4. I don't learn / 'm not learning Chinese at the moment. - Both options are correct, but they convey different aspects. "I don't learn Chinese" is a general statement of not learning it at all, while "'m not learning Chinese at the moment" specifies that it's not happening currently. Choose the one that matches the intended meaning.

5. I play / 'm playing tennis twice a week. - Both options are correct, but they convey different aspects. "I play tennis twice a week" is a general statement about a regular activity, while "'m playing tennis twice a week" specifies that it's happening currently. Choose the one that best fits the context you want to convey.
