Answer 2

Both versions of your sentences are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. Let's break it down:

1. "My mother isn't/doesn't own a car."

   • "My mother isn't" suggests that she currently doesn't own a car.
   • "My mother doesn't" implies that she doesn't own a car in a general sense.

   You can choose the one that accurately reflects your intended meaning. If she used to own a car but doesn't currently, "isn't" might be more appropriate. If she has never owned a car, "doesn't" would be a better choice.

2. "Her responsibilities for today include/are including writing a report."

   • Both "include" and "are including" are correct, but they subtly emphasize different aspects.
   • "Her responsibilities for today include writing a report" is straightforward and states that writing a report is one of her tasks for the day.
   • "Her responsibilities for today are including writing a report" emphasizes the ongoing nature of her responsibilities, suggesting that, as part of her duties today, she is actively engaged in writing a report.

Again, you can choose the version that aligns better with the nuance you want to convey.
