• is- 3rd person, unit. h. (He is reading.)
• are- 2 person unit. hours and all forms pl. h. (They are sleeping.)

Note:
Personal pronouns and the auxiliary verb are often shortened to I'm, he's, she's, it's, we're, you're, they're.

jump-jump ing, live - live ng

Cases of using Present Continuous

Note:
English verbs associated with perception (notice, hear, see, feel ...), emotions (love, hate, like ...), mental processes (think, believe, understand ...), possession (have, possess .. .) are not used in Continuous tenses, because they themselves denote a process. Time is used instead present simple:
I hear you, don't shout. I hear you, don't scream.
I love pancakes. I love pancakes.

Dear colleagues! In the third issue of the Russian Language newspaper for 2009, a list of words with the correct stress was published, which are supposed to be used in the exam test. Thank you very much for your concern for teachers as well – not everyone still has the opportunity to get information on the Internet in a timely manner – and above all for children who will face a difficult test. Open publication of changes in control measuring materials allows (albeit slightly) to reduce fear and nervousness in anticipation of the exam. Using the list you printed, I made up several exercises that allow you to control how successful the work on mastering orthoepic norms is. The proposed tests can be used both as training and as control tests. Ten options will ensure the independence of their implementation. I take 5-7 minutes to work. I would be glad if these small tests make life easier for someone else. E.V. Yuminova
