Grammar
"Pro-verb"
A quiz appearing in a workbook for junior-high students of my country:
Fill in the blank with AN appropriate word:
Where are they playing tennis?
- They are (........) in the park.
The answer booklet says "playing" is correct.
I think "playing" is INappropriate and appropriate is "doing", however.
Advice would be appreciated.
