Complete the panicked theater director's text message to the producer by selecting the correct verb forms.
Look at the stage! The lead actor _________________________ all his lines right now. He usually _________________________ everything perfectly during rehearsals. I _________________________ I will never direct a live comedy again!

The correct answers are is forgetting, remembers, and promise.

is forgetting: The action is happening at this exact moment ("Look at the stage!", "right now"), so we use the Present Continuous.

remembers: The word "usually" indicates a habit or routine, which requires the Present Simple.

promise: "Promise" is a performative verb (the act of saying the word is the action). Performative verbs are always used in the Present Simple.
