Hi again

For formatting reasons I have inserted my response (in bold) in the suggested blank space.

1. Father is coming (now).

2. Your brother is working (late).

I don't understand your instructions, really-- if it is actually 'when' = 'what time' something is done, then:

1. Father is coming (now).

2. Your brother is working (now).

3. Children (are now playing) in our garden.


If you merely want a temporal adverb, then any of these work:

1. Father is coming (now / soon / immediately / late).

2. Your brother is working (late / soon / now).

3. Children (often / sometimes) play in our garden.

Hi there

My original question was taken word for word from a book.  In that case, are my original answers (at start of this posting) still correct?  Please advise?

Kind regards
