Exercise 6: Present Simple vs Present Continuous

Let's solve these sentences by choosing the correct tense. I'll explain each choice:

1. Jason is not coming with us tonight.
   - Present continuous because it's a planned arrangement for tonight

2. What do you do in your free time?
   - Present simple because it's about regular/habitual activities

3. We usually meet in the library at three o'clock.
   - Present simple with 'usually' indicating a regular habit

4. Greg is learning to play chess today.
   - Present continuous because it's happening today (temporary action)

5. Does Mary speak French well?
   - Present simple because it's about general ability

6. I don't often go skiing.
   - Present simple with frequency adverb 'often' for habits

7. It is raining at the moment.
   - Present continuous because it's happening now ('at the moment')

8. You are always losing your keys!
   - Present continuous with 'always' to express annoyance at repeated actions

9. My father plays chess every afternoon.
   - Present simple because it's a regular, repeated action ('every afternoon')

💡 Key Rules Used:
- Present Simple: habits, regular actions, general truths
- Present Continuous: actions happening now, temporary situations, planned arrangements
- Time expressions help indicate which tense to use

I can see this appears to be a historical map exercise, likely focusing on the region around the Baltic Sea. The map shows geographical boundaries with some areas marked in different colors (one area appears to be marked in green, and there are some areas marked in red/pink). However, since the image is partially upside down and some text is not clearly visible, I cannot provide specific details about the exact historical period or the precise nature of the exercise.

To help with this map exercise, it would be helpful if you could:
1. Orient the map right-side up
2. Share what specific task or question you need help with
3. Provide any context about the historical period being studied

This would allow me to give you more accurate and helpful assistance with your map work. 📍🗺️

Приношу извинения за неточность. Вы правы - я вижу, что изображение представляет собой контурную карту, но из-за качества фотографии и угла съемки сложно разобрать детали задания. Пожалуйста:

1. Сделайте фотографию карты прямо сверху
2. Убедитесь, что видна вся легенда карты и задание
3. По возможности, избегайте бликов и теней

С более четким изображением я смогу предоставить точный и полезный ответ по вашему заданию. 🗺️
