Welcome to the forum, 1paisita.

We like to help when we can, but we don't help with assignments. The course provider wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

You are correct but here are the answers i gave and they returned my application.

The teacher's absent because it refers to an action that is happening at the time, present The teacher is absent, we cannot say The baby is bottle or the nation is struggle they all refer to the present continuous.


The trains collided by a river because this is the only one that is using by as the tense of beside.

I must have something to drink because it is being use as strongly needed, not as a guess or opinion.


They say to please give a more accurate response as to why you chose it. If I have no teaching experience how do they want me to answers this question???
