4. Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form. e.g. David is (to be) blowing the horn. 1.What ... the kids.... 2.Mel ..... 3.Look! The clowns.....

Okay, let's complete the sentences with the correct verb forms: 1. What are the kids blowing. 2. Mel is making a cake. 3. Look! The clowns are performing tricks. **Explanation for the student:** * **Sentence 1:** The sentence starts with "What". The verb is “to be” that requires form depending on subject "the kids". We use "are" because the subject "kids" is plural. After that we write the verb in present continuous tense – blowing. * **Sentence 2:** Here we use form of the verb "to be" is "is" because the subject "Mel" is singular and a verb in infinitive form (to make) becomes "making" to make present continuous tense. * **Sentence 3:** In this sentence, there is "look!" signaling an action taking place right now. Thus, we use present continuous form. The verb "to be" changes its form to "are", because the subject "clowns" is plural, and we transform the infinitive (to perform) to present continuous "performing". So, the full sentences with correct verb forms are: 1. What are the kids blowing? 2. Mel is making a cake. 3. Look! The clowns are performing tricks.
