1
Rewrite three sentences (with -yapti) in the written form (-moqda).
For example: «Yo‘l qurilyapti» → «Yo‘l qurilmoqda» (“A road is being built”); «Bolalar o‘qiyapti» → «Bolalar o‘qimoqda» (“Children are reading”); «Qor yog‘yapti» → «Qor yog‘moqda» (“It is snowing”).
2
Make two sentences each with -adi and -ajak and write the difference.
For example: «Biz yutamiz» (“We will win”) – neutral; «Biz yutajakmiz» (“We shall win”) – solemn, written.
3
Find «-moqda» in two sentences of a newspaper and turn it into the colloquial form.
The answer depends on the text; for example: «Qurilish davom etmoqda» → «Qurilish davom etyapti» (“Construction continues”).

Why is «-moqda» better than «-yapti» in an official report? Explain in 3 sentences.
Written official-news speech relies on bookish forms; «-yapti» is a mark of live conversation; keeping the style increases the text’s credibility.
