Explications :
Le présent en continu (be+ing) est utilisé pour parler d'une action qui est en train de se produire.
exemple: She is sleeping. -> Elle est en train de dormir.
Il est aussi parfois utilisé pour parler d'un futur proche.
exemple: I'm leaving tonight. -> Je pars ce soir.
(Pour la 18 les deux sont corrects, même si "leaves" fait plus naturel.)
Pour t'aider, il y a souvent des indicateurs. Par exemple dans la 2, on lit: "at the moment" qui veut dire "maintenant". On devine donc qu'il s'agit d'une action qui est en train de se passer, alors on utilisera le présent en continu.
En espérant t'avoir aidé :)
