1. Are the meaning behind these two sentences the same ?

a) Do you think he's gonna live ?
b) Do you think he will live ?

2. Do we say :

a) I want you TO move...
b) I want you move...
c) I want you moving...

3. Are these the same :

a) Are you ready ?
b) You ready ?

4."Tell me everything about your exam you have had/taken today"

Should I rather use simple past? One could say that "the exam" is a (or the?) past event, already finished and belonging to the past. But on the other hand one might say that "today" is still going on so the usage of present perfect is ok. Please, tell me what I should do...

5. "Have you had/taken your exam today ? or Did you have/take your exam today ?"

The same thing as above... the same question.

6. What if we added a phrase like "in the morning" ? Would it somehow affect the usage of tenses?

7. Are these the same :

a) It isn't working.
b) It doesn't work.

8. What's the difference between :

a) It doesn't work (/isn't working) vs This doensn't work (/isn't working).
b) This is a book vs It is a book.

9. What's the difference between :

a) What about the rule which says...
b) What about the rule saying...

10. What's the difference between :

a) We've got to keep moving...
b) We've got to keep on moving...

11. Do we say :

a) What if we add...
b) What if we added...

thanks in advance...
