Present Continuous

Uso del Presente Continuo:

 A diferencia del Presente Simple, el Presente Continuo lo utilizamos para expresar acciones que están ocurriendo ahora, justo en el momento de habla del interlocutor. También, lo utilizamos para acciones que no están ocurriendo ahora.

 Forma del Presente Continuo:

Sujeto + am/is/are (forma correspondiente del verbo to be dependiendo del sujeto) + verb in -ing form

• Affirmative:

Sujeto + am/is/are+ verb in -ing form

Examples: I am reading the newspaper

We/ You/ They are swimming in the swimming pool

• Negative:

Sujeto+ am not/ isn't/ aren't + verb in -ing form

 

Examples: I am not reading the newspaper

You aren't listening to the radio

He/ She isn't practising tennis

We/ You/ They aren't swimming in the swimming pool

• Interrrogative:

Am/ Is/ Are+ subject+ verb in -ing form
