Hi, and welcome Using English.

What is the sentence trying to say? None of those choices make sense to me.

 

[mr_moh55555]

I was asked it in my class.I thought it maybe a proverb.
I looked it up but I found nothing.

1-Find the mistake in the following sentence, then write it correctly:

How about:
.

He was amazed as he watched the heart transplant operation being performed.

​

.
The only one possible:
.

For how long have you had this mobile? Aren't you going to buy a new one?
​

.
Unless it is a test, delete "For" in the previous sentence. (Is it a test?)

 

[mr_moh55555]

At first thank you

but

why is done wrong? cant we say do an operation?

sorry, what do you mean by(test)?
these sentences are from my students inside the class.they ask me a lot ,but these ones are puzzling grammar questions

"It's amazing to see a heart transplant operation being done" would be ok.
"How long have you had this mobile?"

"Being done" is better, "done" could indicate that the operation is finished..

 

[mr_moh55555]

thanks ...what about (done)?

"Being done" is better, "done" could indicate that the operation is finished..[/QUOTE]

I think the difference between done and being done here is so slice or small

This sentence states a general opinion
.
It's amazing to see a heart transplant operation done.

I think it is better to say done not to say being done

what do you think?

I have already told you my opinion. Of the two I would use "being done", if you prefer "done" then use that.
