Final answer:

The sentences are evaluated to determine if the use of progressive or non-progressive verbs is correct.


Explanation:

The given sentences are evaluated to determine if the use of progressive or non-progressive (simple) verbs is correct.

  1. Correct. The present continuous tense 'are you liking' is used correctly to express a temporary liking for the weather.
  2. Correct. The simple present tense 'I'm working' is used correctly to indicate an action happening at the present moment.
  3. Correct. The present continuous tense 'You're driving' is used correctly to describe an ongoing action of driving.
  4. Incorrect. The verb 'meaning' should be a non-progressive verb, so the correct sentence would be: 'What does this word mean?'
  5. Incorrect. The present continuous tense 'I'm not wanting' should be changed to the simple present tense 'I don't want.'
  6. Correct. The present continuous tense 'are you living' is used correctly to describe a current place of residence.
  7. Incorrect. The sentence should be changed to: 'I don't understand.' The verb 'understand' is non-progressive.
  8. Correct. The present continuous tense 'I'm seeing' is used correctly to describe an action happening in the present.
  9. Incorrect. The verb 'see' should be a non-progressive verb, so the correct sentence would be: 'I can't pay you today! I see!'
  10. Correct. The sentence uses the present continuous tense 'are you thinking' correctly to inquire about someone's current thoughts.
