F. Correct the tenses
Corrected text:
“One game I love is backgammon. You throw the dice and then you move your pieces around the board. It seems quite easy, but in fact you need to be careful. When your piece lands on one of the other person’s pieces, you take it off the board and you send it back to the beginning. You win by getting all your pieces to the end and off the board. Some people prefer chess, but I don’t understand that game. Right now, I am waiting to have a game with my brother. He is doing his homework. I usually win, so I think he doesn’t want to play with me!”
