Present Continuous

Present continuous

Present Continuous(also called Present Progressive)

We often use the Present Continuous tense in English. It is very different from the Present Simple tense, both in structure and in use.

Present Continuous

• The auxiliary verb (be) is conjugated in the Present Simple: am, are, is

  The main verb is invariable in present participle form: -ing

  
  

• For negative sentences, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

  
  

• For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the auxiliary verb.
