Answer 3

a) It is four o’clock. Mr. Brown usually drinks tea in the living room, but this afternoon, he is drinking tea in the garden.

In this sentence, we use the Present Indefinite tense to describe Mr. Brown's usual habit of drinking tea in the living room. The verb "drink" is used in the third person singular form "drinks" to match the subject "Mr. Brown."

We also use the Present Continuous tense to describe his current action of drinking tea in the garden. The verb "drink" is used in the present participle form "is drinking" to indicate an action happening at the moment of speaking.

b) My brother always sleeps late.

In this sentence, we use the Present Indefinite tense to describe a habitual action. The verb "sleep" is used in the third person singular form "sleeps" to match the subject "my brother."

c) Now I am looking for my socks.

In this sentence, we use the Present Continuous tense to describe an action happening at the moment of speaking. The verb "look" is used in the present participle form "am looking" to indicate the ongoing action of searching for socks.

Note: In Russian, it is common to use the Present Indefinite tense (Present Simple) for both habitual actions and actions happening at the moment of speaking. However, in English, the Present Continuous tense (Present Progressive) is used to indicate actions happening at the moment of speaking.
