Solution
The sentence that correctly uses a helping verb in the present progressive tense is "Chan Ming and Adeline are joining the gym across the street from their office."
Here's the step by step breakdown:
-
The present progressive tense is formed by using a form of the verb "to be" (is, am, are) and the present participle of the main verb (verb ending in -ing).
-
"The delivery truck is here." - This sentence is in the present tense, but it's not using the present progressive tense because "here" is not a present participle.
-
"Chan Ming and Adeline are joining the gym across the street from their office." - This sentence is in the present progressive tense. "Are" is a form of the verb "to be" and "joining" is the present participle of the verb "join".
-
"The tree was leaning precariously over the house." - This sentence is in the past progressive tense, not the present progressive tense.
-
"Next week, the recruiter will be traveling to five schools." - This sentence is in the future progressive tense, not the present progressive tense.
