1. Present continuous: affirmative and negative
In this exercise, we are going to talk about what people are doing or not doing in the present. We will use the present continuous tense to describe their actions. Let's look at each picture and use the verbs provided, along with one of the words or phrases in the box, to complete the sentences.

Picture A:
She is playing tennis in the car.
She isn't drinking a hertewerk.
Explanation: In picture A, the person is playing tennis. We use the verb "play" and the word "tennis" to describe their action. However, the person is not drinking a hertewerk, so we use the negative form "isn't" and the word "hertewerk" to state that.

Picture 2:
She is reading a book.
She isn't looking at something.
Explanation: In picture 2, the girl is reading a book. We use the verb "read" and the word "book" to describe her action. However, she is not looking at something, so we use the negative form "isn't" and the phrase "looking at something" to state that.

Picture 3:
He is working.
He isn't listening to music.
Explanation: In picture 3, the boy is working. We use the verb "work" to describe his action. However, he is not listening to music, so we use the negative form "isn't" and the phrase "listening to music" to state that.

Picture 4:
They are playing.
They aren't arguing.
Explanation: In picture 4, the group of people is playing. We use the verb "play" to describe their action. However, they are not arguing, so we use the negative form "aren't" and the word "arguing" to state that.

Picture 5:
She is running.
She doesn't have something.
Explanation: In picture 5, the girl is running. We use the verb "run" to describe her action. However, she doesn't have something, so we use the negative form "doesn't" and the word "have" to state that.

Picture 6:
They are playing.
They aren't sitting.
Explanation: In picture 6, the group of people is playing. We use the verb "play" to describe their action. However, they are not sitting, so we use the negative form "aren't" and the word "sitting" to state that.
