Scarlette is somewhat correct and somewhat incorrect.
Can Anna tell the correct ones from the incorrect ones?
Sure! Let's complete the sentences with the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.
1. I have been going (go) to the gym for quite a long time.
Explanation: We use the present perfect continuous tense "have been going" to describe an action that started in the past and is still happening in the present.
2. I am still waiting (still wait) to see some results.
Explanation: We use the present continuous tense "am still waiting" to talk about an action happening now.
3. Every time I go, I do (do) all the exercises I have been told to do.
Explanation: We use the present simple tense "do" to talk about routine actions or habits.
4. But I haven't noticed (not notice) any real change yet.
Explanation: We use the present perfect tense "haven't noticed" to talk about an action that started in the past and continues up until now, focusing on the result or outcome.
5. What is happening (happen) is that I get tired and hungry.
Explanation: We use the present continuous tense "is happening" to talk about something that is currently taking place.
6. Last week I returned (return) home when I suddenly wanted (want) to eat a pizza.
Explanation: We use the past simple tense "returned" to talk about a completed action in the past. We use the past simple tense "wanted" to talk about a specific past event or desire.
7. So as soon as I got home, I ordered (order) one – a big one – with everything on it.
Explanation: We use the past simple tense "ordered" to describe an action that happened after "getting home."
8. That was not the first time, so maybe that explains why I still feel unhealthy and unfit.
Explanation: We use the past simple tense "was" to describe a general past event. The sentence suggests a possible reason for feeling unhealthy and unfit.
