Hi,
This is your assignment not ours.
Rather than ordering us to do it, it would be nice if you tried first and asked for our opinion.


For the record, I can't figure out how to write the sentence using the phrase given and keep the same meaning.

I'd suggest: Since you have to use an adverbial component of time, strip off all the time adverbials from the sentence, see what you have left, and make a sentence out of that and 'at the moment'.

PS: Note that we don't do homework. You can read this is the box at the top of the page.

Have you read the rules of the site? We don't do homework for people. However, if you make an attempt at it, someone here will help you.

Rewrite this sentence using ( at the moment)

How about this?
At the moment, Adel is reading the newspaper.
At the moment, Adel is not reading the newspaper.

At the moment, Adel is reading the newspaper.
At the moment, Adel is not reading the newspaper.
That's what I was thinking, though there's no reason to add 'not' - that seems like a rather arbitrary addition.
