Answer :
Let's work through each part of the exercise one by one.
1. Fill in the blanks with PRESENT CONTINUOUS or SIMPLE PRESENT:
They are watching (watch) TV now.
- We use the present continuous tense to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking.

- The simple present is used for preferences or facts.

- Present continuous for an action occurring right now.

- 'Usually' suggests a habit or routine, so we use the simple present.
He writes (write) a letter to his pen-friend every month.
- Regular activities or routines use the simple present tense.
2. Fill in the blanks using WAS (NOT) / WERE (NOT):
My car is clean today but it was not yesterday.
- Use ‘was not’ because ‘car’ is singular, and it refers to the past.

- ‘Was’ because ‘father’ is singular, referring to the past.
The students are in class today but they were not last week.
- ‘Were not’ for plural in the past.
It isn't sunny now but it was an hour ago.
- Again, use ‘was’ as it refers to a singular subject in the past.

- ‘Were’ for plural in the past.
