English Language & Usage Asked by cacasbura on August 23, 2021
Yesterday I was doing some english exercises and I’ve had some problems with a sentence:
At the moment, most of the work is being done. (solution)
At the moment, most of the work has been done. (my answer)
Why wasn’t mine right? The context says that a lot of work in the house has been done (the walls have been put on, the roof has been put on and the bathroom has been fit), so now it only remains to paint the walls and to fit the kitchen.
The time adverbial' at the moment' indicates that the action is in progress at time of speaking.
However, if you want to emphasize the finished work, you can simply say:
most of the work has been finished.
