To form questions in the present continuous tense, we need to rearrange the scrambled words into a proper question format. The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening right now. The format generally follows this structure:
(Subject) + (am/is/are) + (verb+ing) + (object)?
Let's unscramble each item to form the questions:
You trying your mom's cake?
To form this question, we rearrange it to: "Are you trying your mom's cake?"
The response would be: "No, I am not."
The basketball game to win the Pandas?
This can be rearranged to: "Are the Pandas winning the basketball game?"
The response would be: "Yes, they are."
Your new car your grandmother to look at?
Rearrange these words to: "Is your grandmother looking at your new car?"
The response would be: "Yes, she is."
By rearranging the words correctly, we've formed questions in the present continuous tense. Understanding this tense helps in expressing what's occurring in the present moment.
