Activity 12. Write "AM", "IS" or "ARE"

a.- My mum **is** eating chocolate. b.- Ann **is** riding a bike. c.- My friends **are** sitting on the grass. d.- The dog **is** playing with the ball. e.- Peter **is** talking to me. f.- I **am** washing my hands. g.- He **is** sleeping. h.- We **are** walking down the street. i.- They **are** playing the trumpet. j.- She **is** working. **Explanation:** Activity 12 requires filling in the blanks with the correct form of the verb 'to be' (am, is, are) to complete sentences in the present continuous tense. Here's how we choose the correct form: * **am** is used with the pronoun 'I'. * **is** is used with singular subjects (he, she, it) and singular nouns. * **are** is used with plural subjects (we, you, they) and plural nouns. Therefore, based on the subject of the sentence, the following forms were chosen: * a. 'My mum' (singular) - 'is' * b. 'Ann' (singular) - 'is' * c. 'My friends' (plural) - 'are' * d. 'The dog' (singular) - 'is' * e. 'Peter' (singular) - 'is' * f. 'I' - 'am' * g. 'He' - 'is' * h. 'We' (plural) - 'are' * i. 'They' (plural) - 'are' * j. 'She' (singular) - 'is'
