They (watch)TV at the moment.


Ответы на вопрос







I can understand and communicate fluently in Russian. You asked me to answer in detail. They (watch) TV at the moment is a sentence in the present continuous tense. We use the present continuous tense to talk about actions or situations that are happening now, at the moment of speaking. The present continuous tense is formed by using the verb to be and the present participle of the main verb. The present participle is the base form of the verb with -ing added to it. For example:
- I am watching a movie. (Я смотрю фильм.) - You are reading a book. (Ты читаешь книгу.) - He is playing soccer. (Он играет в футбол.)
The subject and the verb to be agree in number and person. For example:
- She is singing a song. (Она поет песню.) - They are dancing. (Они танцуют.)
To make a negative sentence, we add not after the verb to be. For example:
- I am not watching a movie. (Я не смотрю фильм.) - You are not reading a book. (Ты не читаешь книгу.) - He is not playing soccer. (Он не играет в футбол.)
To make a question, we invert the subject and the verb to be. For example:
- Are you watching a movie? (Ты смотришь фильм?) - Is he playing soccer? (Он играет в футбол?) - Are they dancing? (Они танцуют?)
We can also use question words like what, where, who, why, how, etc. before the verb to be. For example:
- What are you watching? (Что ты смотришь?) - Where is he playing soccer? (Где он играет в футбол?) - Who are they dancing with? (С кем они танцуют?)
Some verbs are not usually used in the present continuous tense because they describe states, not actions. These verbs include: be, believe, belong, hate, know, like, love, need, own, prefer, remember, understand, want, etc. For example:
- I like this song. (NOT I am liking this song.) (Мне нравится эта песня.) - She knows the answer. (NOT She is knowing the answer.) (Она знает ответ.)
