1. One must be careful NOT to use the present progressive tense in Spanish in some cases where it is used in English, particularly (check all that wody)

when talking about an event currently in progress
when talking about the future,
when the event is not currently in progress
when no emphasis is needed

Answer:

C. When the event is not currently in progress

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't use present progressive tense in Spanish in some cases where used in in English because

Present Progressive Tense means:

continuing action, something going on now. ... The present progressive can suggest that an action is going to happen in the future, especially with verbs that convey the idea of a plan or of movement from one place or condition to another: "The team is arriving in two hours." or formed with the helping "to be" verb, in the present tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending): "I am buying all my family's Christmas gifts early this year.
