Answer 1

1. We watch television every night. 2. Look! John is crossing the street. 3. They moved to a new flat two years ago. 4. He was getting out his car when he heard a whistle. 5. I have bought a new car. It's in front of the house.

Explanation: 1. The correct answer is "c) watch." The sentence is in the present simple tense, indicating a habitual action, so the base form of the verb "watch" is used. 2. The correct answer is "a) is crossing." The sentence is describing an action happening at the moment of speaking, so the present continuous tense is used with the verb "to be" (is) + the present participle form of the verb "cross" (crossing). 3. The correct answer is "d) moved." The sentence is in the past simple tense, indicating an action that happened in the past, so the past simple form of the verb "move" (moved) is used. 4. The correct answer is "b) was getting." The sentence is describing an action happening in the past, so the past continuous tense is used with the past continuous form of the verb "get" (was getting). 5. The correct answer is "a) have bought." The sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that happened in the past but has a connection to the present, so the present perfect form of the verb "buy" (have bought) is used.
