Hi,

I appear to be having trouble working on the tenses.

Would someone please tell me if the tenses below are correct, and include all the tenses?

Many thanks

you have made mistakes in sentences number 3 & 6. Think a little and you can find your mistake.
I wish you good luck! Harry Smith

Harry Smith:

Why is number 6 incorrect ?? Is ts "She is currently performing in the play"?
and i dont know why number 7 is correct because it says "She is performing in the play tomorrow" I think it should be She will be performing in the play tomorrow.

Thank you :)

Hi tahiri
I'm not Harry, but I can give you some input:

That would be a correct sentence, but did you notice that you changed more than one thing?

Yes, and that it correct. We use the present continuous to talk about a future arrangement / plan (not just to talk about what is happening at the moment).

I think it should be She will be performing in the play tomorrow.
That would also be a possibility.
