Answer 2

Sure, let's go through each sentence and choose the correct verb forms:

1. I'm imagining/imagining it's difficult to get shoes to fit your brother. - The correct verb form is "imagining" because it is the present continuous tense, which is appropriate for expressing the current action of imagining.

2. Are you preferring/do you prefer to go to town or for a walk? - The correct verb form is "do you prefer" because it is the present simple tense used in questions.

3. We're staying/stay with my grandparents while my grandad is ill. - Both "We're staying" and "stay" are grammatically correct, but the choice depends on the context. If you want to express an ongoing action, use "We're staying." If you want to express a general fact or habit, use "stay."

4. I have to admit that I'm having/have a problem deciding what to wear to the wedding. - The correct verb form is "have" because it is the present simple tense used to express a general fact or condition. "I'm having" could also work, but it implies a temporary or ongoing situation.

5. It is appearing/appears that Tom is doing really well in his new role as manager. - The correct verb form is "appears" because it is the present simple tense used to state a fact or make an observation. "It is appearing" is less common in this context.

6. Is this coat belonging/Does this coat belong to someone in this class? - The correct verb form is "Does this coat belong" because it is the present simple tense used in questions. "Is this coat belonging" is not a correct construction in this context.

So, the corrected sentences are:

1. I'm imagining it's difficult to get shoes to fit your brother. 2. Do you prefer to go to town or for a walk? 3. We're staying with my grandparents while my grandad is ill. 4. I have to admit that I have a problem deciding what to wear to the wedding. 5. It appears that Tom is doing really well in his new role as manager. 6. Does this coat belong to someone in this class?
