Explanation:

Here, we are told to fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the bracketed verbs.

The correct form of a verb depends on the word before the verb, the tense or time reference of the sentence and the subject.

For example, the given sentences describe the usual activities using the present tense. Thus, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct verb forms.

Present Tense:

The action or event that usually happens on a daily basis or is happening now is referred to as the present tense.

Simple Present/ Present indefinite Tense –

It is used to indicate the current action or an action that takes place regularly/daily.

It is indicated by the words such as always, usually, daily, every week, every day etc.

Present Continuous/ Present progressive Tense –

It is used to denote an action that is happening or continuing at the present moment.
It is indicated by the words- now, at the moment, recently, currently, etc.

In the given context, it represents the subject's (the speaker's) current activity or state of being.

Therefore, the correct verb forms are as follows:

a. I sleep for a long time at weekends.

b. At the moment our two cats are sleeping.

c. I play computer games every day!

d. I am not playing outside with my friends now because it’s raining.

e. Right now my mum is reading a magazine.
