CORRECT THE MISTAKES. Rewrite the sentences correctly.
- I am thinking of you.
- She is loving her new job.
- They are having a great time.
- He is knowing the truth.
- We are understanding the lesson.
- Предложение верное: think of в значении «думать о» — глагол действия, Continuous допустим. Оставляем без изменений.
- love — глагол чувства, Continuous не нужен: She loves her new job.
- Предложение верное: have a great time — устойчивое выражение (действие), Continuous допустим.
- know — глагол мышления: He knows the truth.
- understand — глагол мышления: We understand the lesson.
Think of и have a time — глаголы действия, поэтому Continuous возможен. Love, know, understand — глаголы состояния, им нужен Present Simple.
- I am thinking of you. (верно)
- She loves her new job.
- They are having a great time. (верно)
- He knows the truth.

- have a meeting — действие («проводить встречу»), поэтому Continuous возможен: a (вариант b тоже грамматически допустим как регулярное событие, но по теме выбираем a).
- see a movie — действие, «смотреть фильм», Continuous допустим: a.
- love — глагол чувства, значит b.
Глаголы состояния (know, want, love) не употребляются в Continuous. Have a meeting и see a movie в значении действия — употребляются.
