Sure, let's complete the conversation by using the Present Continuous and Present Simple forms of the verbs:

Mark: Are you looking (you / look) for someone?

Alan: Yes, I need (I / need) to speak to Neil. He isn't in his office.

Mark: (1) He's talking (he / talk) to the boss at the moment.

(2) I think (I / think) (3) they're discussing (they / discuss) money.

Alan: Oh, right. And what about you? (4) Are you looking (you / look) for someone too?

Mark: Yes, Linda. (5) Do you know (you / know) where she is?

Alan: Oh, she isn't here today. She only (6) works (work) four days a week.

(7) She doesn't work (she / not / work) on Fridays. She'll be here on Monday.

Mark: Thank you. (8) You know (you / know) a lot about Linda.

Alan: Well, most days (9) I give (I / give) her a lift, or

(10) she gives (she / give) me one. (11) She lives (she / live) quite close to me. (12) It saves (it/ save) petrol.

Mark: Yes, of course. Good idea. Yes, (13) I agree (I / agree). Well,

(14) I'm wasting (I / waste) my time here then. I'll get back to my computer.

In this conversation, the Present Continuous tense is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking, such as "he's talking" and "they're discussing." The Present Simple tense is used for habitual actions or general truths, like "she works" or "it saves petrol." Understanding when to use each tense is crucial for accurately conveying the timing and nature of actions in English.
