03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | goes | Every day marks a habit, so use the present simple; the third person singular takes -es. |
| 2 | is sleeping | Look! shows the action is happening now, so use be with the -ing form. |
| 3 | does not like | Like is a state verb, so the negative uses does not and never the -ing form. |
| 4 | Is / watching | Now points to the present continuous, and the question moves is before the subject. |
| 5 | finishes / is playing | Usually takes the present simple while today, a temporary situation, takes the continuous. |
| 6 | leaves | Timetables and schedules use the present simple rather than the continuous. |
| 7 | are studying / do not shout | At the moment takes the continuous, and a negative imperative uses do not with the base verb. |
| 8 | She wants a new bike. | Want is a state verb for wishes and possession, so it never takes the -ing form. |
| 9 | She sometimes walks to school. Today she is taking the bus. | Sometimes describes a habit in the simple form; today describes a one-off change in the continuous. |
| 10 | know | Know is a state verb, so is knowing is the common wrong answer. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
