Answer 2

Sure! Let's go through the exercise step by step.

Exercise 1:

To match the underlined verbs with the correct tenses (a) - (d), we need to determine the tense of each verb in the given sentences.

1. Scientists discovered a lot of species of plants and animals. - The verb "discovered" is in the past simple tense (c).

2. I can't remember what I was wearing yesterday. - The verb "remember" is in the present simple tense (a). - The verb "was wearing" is in the past continuous tense (d).

3. Women like reading love stories. - The verb "like" is in the present simple tense (a).

4. A baby is crying. - The verb "is crying" is in the present continuous tense (b).

So, the matching of the underlined verbs with the tenses is as follows: 1. Scientists discovered a lot of species of plants and animals. - (c) past simple 2. I can't remember what I was wearing yesterday. - (a) present simple, (d) past continuous 3. Women like reading love stories. - (a) present simple 4. A baby is crying. - (b) present continuous

Exercise 2:

Now let's put the verbs in brackets into the correct tense in the personal profile.

I _______ (meet) her three weeks ago when I ______ (look) for an internet café! My hobbies _______ (be) surfing the net and playing the guitar. I _______ (sing) everyday, usually in the bathroom!"

1. I am twenty-three and I ______ (be) a student. - The verb "am" is already in the correct tense (present simple).

2. At the moment I ______ (learn) English in New York. - The verb "learn" is already in the correct tense (present continuous).

3. When I first ______ (get) here, everything _______ (seem) different. - The verb "first got" is in the past simple tense (c). - The verb "seem" is already in the correct tense (present simple).
