PRESENT
CONTINUOUS
TENSE
Present continuous (Progressive) - form
The present continuous of any verb is composed of two parts - the
present tense of the verb to be + the present participle of the main verb.
(The form of the present participle is: base+ing, e.g. talking, playing, moving,
smiling)
Affirmative
Subject

+ to be

+ base+ing

she

Subject

+ to be + not

+ base+ing

she

is not (isn't)

Negative

Interrogative
Long forms and short forms in the
Present Progressive
We often use short forms of the auxiliaries. The Present Progressive is formed with the
auxiliary to be (am, are, is), so short forms are very frequent.
negative (not after to be)

affirmative

Present Progressive - Signal words
Signal words tell you what tense you have to use. In
the Present Progressive these words are used in
situations which happen at the time of speaking.
now
at the moment
Look!
Listen!
Special verbs in the Present Progressive
There are verbs which are normally not used in the Present
Progressive, like:
be, believe, belong, hate, hear, like, love, mean, prefer, remain, realize, see,
seem, smell, think, understand, want, wish
We sometimes use these words in the Present Progressive in the
following situations:
He's seeing his father tomorrow. (fixed date)
The group is seeing the sights of Paris. (see in connection with tourists)
They are having a great time in Kapstadt. (have as an activity verb)
What's the matter with you? What are you thinking? - (to be worried about
sth.)
If you are not sure with these verbs, use a good dictionary.
1) Do as a full verb
affirmative sentence

negative sentence

question

I am doing an exercise.

I am not doing an
exercise.

Am I doing an exercise?

He is not doing an
exercise.

Is he doing an exercise?

We are not doing an
exercise.

Are we doing an
exercise?

he, she, it:

He is doing an exercise.

we, you, they:

We are doing an
exercise.
2) Have as a full verb

affirmative sentence

negative sentence

question

I am having a bath.

I am not having a bath. Am I having a bath?

he, she, it:

He is having a bath.

He is not having a
bath.

Is he having a bath?

We are not having a
bath.

Are we having a bath?

we, you, they:

We are having a bath.
Present Progressive - Spelling
Be careful with some words when
adding -ing to the infinitive.

2) one -e at the end of the word
Leave out the -e.
write – he is writing
1) consonant after a short, stressed take – he is taking
vowel at the end of the word
BUT:
double –e: add -ing
Double the consonant.
see – he is seeing
sit – he is sitting
3) verbs ending in -ie
put - he is putting
If the consonant is not stressed, we Change 'ie' to 'y'.
lie - he is lying
do not double it:
benefit - benefiting (Here we stress 4) verbs ending in -c
the first 'e', not the 'i'.)
Change 'c' to 'ck'.
In British English we double one -l picnic - he is picnicking
at the end of the word:
travel - travelling
Present Progressive/Continuous - Use
The Present Progressive is used when we talk about something which is happening
now. It is also called Present Continuous. Have a look at the following examples:
1) actions happening at the moment of speaking (now, at the moment)
Peter is reading a book now.
She’s listening to the radio.
2) fixed plan in the near future
She is going to Basel on Saturday.
3) temporary actions
His father is working in Rome this month.
Note:
We do use verbs which express states and are normally not used with the Present Progressive.
Watch the difference in meaning.
They love being together. (They are not together now.)
They are loving being together. (They are together now.)
4) actions happening around the moment of speaking (longer actions)
My friend is preparing for his exams
5) trends
More and more people are using their computers to listen to music.
6) repeated actions which are irritating to the speaker (with always, constantly, forever)
Androis always coming late. (I don't like it.)
Simple Present:
Andro always comes late. (Here I don't give a comment.)
Thank
you
for
your
attention
