Paul (help) me to look for a place of my own and we (see) several places in the centre already.

Это Present Continuous. В этом времени указывается на процесс, действие в определенный момент в настоящем или будущем времени.

Время Present Continuous обычно указывает на процесс, длящийся непосредственно в момент речи. На это могут указывать контекст или такие слова, как: now, at the moment.

Причастие настоящего времени (Participle I) можно получить, прибавив к начальной форме значимого глагола окончание -ing: jump - jumping, cook - cooking.

В вопросительном предложении вс глагол выносится на место перед подлежащим, а значимый глагол остается после него, это предложение именно такое.

ответ: 2 ( No, they aren't)
