B. We ........... ( not play) football for a long time.
C. She ............... ( do) well in her exams this year.
D. He ............ ( finish ) his science homework.
E. My parents ..........,, ( go) to the new gym.
F. You ......... ( eat) my crisps!

Answer 1

Read, am reading
Don't play, aren't playing
Does, is doing
Finishes, is finishing
Go, are going
Eat, are eating
Diferenta este ca perfect simple se refera la o actiune in general(care se intampla deobicei), pe cand perfect continuos este actiune care se intampla acum,in momentul de fata. De asemena perfect continuos este ajutat si de verbul 'to be',pe cand perfect simple nu este.
