1. Alice doesn't like playing backgammon.
*Explanation:*
'Like' is a stative verb, and we use 'doesn't' with stative verbs in the present simple tense.
2. Were you doing your homework at 7 o'clock last Monday?
*Explanation:*
Since the sentence refers to a specific time in the past (7 o'clock last Monday), we use the past continuous tense, which requires 'were' for 'you'.
3. We usually eat out on Sundays.
*Explanation:*
'Usually' indicates a habitual action, so we use the present simple tense ('eat').
4. They are playing chess now, aren't they?
*Explanation:*
The main clause is in the present continuous ('are playing'), so the correct tag question is 'aren't they?'
5. My friend and I play Scrabble on Wednesday afternoons.
*Explanation:*
The phrase 'on Wednesday afternoons' suggests a regular activity, so we use the present simple tense ('play').
