Answer :

Let's tackle each part of the question step by step:

  1. Fill in the blanks with PRESENT CONTINUOUS or SIMPLE PRESENT:

    1. The children are playing outside now.
    2. She usually reads the newspaper in the morning.
    3. I am doing my homework now.
    4. I am eating my dinner now.
    5. Do you want a pizza?

    The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking, such as "are playing," "am doing," and "am eating." The simple present tense, like "reads" and "want," is used for habits or general truths.

  2. Fill in the blanks using WAS (NOT) / WERE (NOT):

    1. I'm here today but I was not here yesterday.
    2. Jennifer is tall now but she was not tall two years ago.
    3. It is rainy today but it was not yesterday.
    4. Mr. Smith is angry now but he was not an hour ago.
    5. The shops are open today but they were not on Sunday.

    "Was" is used for singular subjects in past sentences, and "were" is used for plural subjects.

  3. Write what the underlined word is; adjective or adverb:

    1. Fast runners win races. Adjective
    2. Mathematics is difficult. Adjective
    3. She's a good typist. Adjective
    4. She behaved rudely to her boss. Adverb
    5. You've done well in your test. Adverb

    Adjectives describe nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

  4. Comparatives and Superlatives:

    1. Tom is older than his brother.
    2. This problem is easier than that problem.
    3. John is the tallest boy in our class.
    4. My friend is fatter than my sister.
    5. My room is the smallest room in our house.

    Comparatives like "older," "easier," and "fatter" compare two things, while superlatives like "the tallest" and "the smallest" describe the extreme quality among three or more things.

  5. Fill in prepositions of time "AT / IN / ON":

    1. on Saturday
    2. in July
    3. in 1984
    4. on March 25th
    5. on Friday
    6. in summer
    7. in the morning
    8. at 9 o'clock
    9. at Christmas
    10. on September 28th
    11. in 1991
    12. on August 29th
    13. in winter
    14. in the evening
    15. in autumn
    16. at half past two
    17. on Monday morning
    18. at Easter
    19. at 10 o'clock

    "At" is often used for precise times, "on" for days and dates, and "in" for months, years, centuries, and long periods.
