Homework: p. 70, 71, 78
exercise 5
2 will be lifting
3 is (no future tense in time clauses)
4 are enjoying
5 will be pointing out
6 know
7 will be getting ready
8 unpack
9 will be joining
10 will be watching
11 are relaxing
12 will be putting on
13 won't be thinking
* I am thinking some people were absent last week. (WRONG) - non-action
(OK) I am thinking about returning again and again. - action

* I'm having three televisions in my house right now. (WRONG) - non-action
(OK) She is having a baby right now. - action

(actions take some time to do, non-actions don't need any extra time)
-> non-action verbs are wrong in the progressive
