Answer 2

Sure, I'd be happy to help you complete the gaps with the appropriate verb forms and provide reasons:

1. John sometimes plays golf on Sundays.

   • Here, we use the present simple "plays" because it's a habitual or regular action ("sometimes") that happens on Sundays.

2. Ann is reading a book in her room now.

   • The present continuous "is reading" is used because the action is happening at the moment of speaking ("now").

3. Do you like collecting stamps?

   • We use the present simple "do" and "like" for general habits or preferences.

4. Jen and Bill are going kart racing tonight.

   • Present continuous "are going" is used for a planned future activity ("tonight").

5. Suzy's class starts at 4 pm.

   • The present simple "starts" is used to indicate a scheduled or regular event.

6. Adrian wants to buy a new pair of sports shoes.

   • The present simple "wants" is used for general desires or preferences.

7. Are you flying to New York next month?

   • We use the present continuous "are flying" to refer to a planned future action ("next month").
