my note 2
Разбираем сказуемое с конца!!!
За Continuous всегда отвечает окончание –ing у глагола, это длИтельность.
Глагол с –ing окончанием один не может гулять, иначе это другая часть речи. Он берет с собой подружку to be.
Формула для всех Continuous – to be+Ving
my note 3
Поскольку у нас ДВА глагола в сказуемом, нам есть с чем работать. Нам есть, куда поставить частицу ‘not’ и кого перекинуть для образования вопроса.
