PRESENT CONTINUOUS

 

Good morning my dear kids, today we are going to talk about present continuous. 

1. What is the Present Continuous?

The Present Continuous (also called Present Progressive) is a tense used to talk about:

·       Actions happening right now.

·       Actions happening around now (but not necessarily at this exact moment).

·       Future planned actions.

 

2. Form / Structure

The Present Continuous is formed with:

·       Subject + verb to be (am/are/is) + main verb + -ing

Examples:

·       I am studying.

·       She is reading.

·       They are playing.

 

3. Uses of the Present Continuous

(A) Actions happening right now

Things in progress at this exact moment.

·       She is talking on the phone.

·       The children are playing outside.

(B) Actions happening around now

Not necessarily this second, but temporary situations.

·       I am taking an online course this month.

·       He is reading a new novel these days.

(C) Future arrangements / fixed plans

Used for planned future events, usually with a time expression.

·       We are meeting our teacher tomorrow.

·       She is traveling to London next week.

(D) Repeated actions with “always” (showing irritation or surprise)

·       He is always leaving his shoes in the living room!

·       They are always shouting at each other.

 

4. Spelling Rules for -ing

When adding -ing:

·       Most verbs: just add -ing → work → working

·       Verbs ending in -e: drop the e + ing → make → making

·       Verbs ending with consonant + vowel + consonant: double the final consonant + ing → run → running

·       Verbs ending in -ie: change ie to y + ing → lie → lying

5. Negative Form

·       Subject + am not / isn’t / aren’t + verb + -ing

Examples:

·       I am not watching TV.

·       She isn’t studying now.

·       They aren’t playing football.

 

6. Interrogative Form

·       Am/Is/Are + subject + verb + -ing?

Examples:

·       Am I talking too fast?

·       Is she working today?

·       Are they coming with us?

 

7. Signal Words (Time Expressions)

These words often indicate Present Continuous:

·       now

·       right now

·       at the moment

·       currently

·       today / this week / these days

·       tomorrow / next (when talking about future plans)

 

8. Examples in Context
