Answer 1

Ответ:

1 Can you turn the TV off? I hate that programme!

2 Mr Jones wants to talk to you. Are you free now?

3 Why are you singing? I need to study!

4 That book belongs to me. It’s not my friend’s.

5 I love this T-shirt. Can I buy it, Mum?

6 I can’t talk now, sorry. I am running.

Объяснение:

Если действие происходит сейчас, то используется Present Continuous, но не все глаголы означают действие. Некоторые глаголы описывают состояние, а не действие, и такие глаголы не употребляются во временах группы Continuous. (Вместо этого надо использовать форму Simple.)

Это так глаголы, как need, belong, want, like, love, hate и другие.
