What is Present Continuous?
The Present Continuous describes actions happening at the moment of speaking. For example, if your friend is playing football, you say, "He is playing football now." It also describes temporary actions, like "My dad is working in Ljubljana this week."
- Actions happening now.
- Temporary actions.
How to Form It (Affirmative)
The Present Continuous is made with two parts: the verb "to be" (am, is, are) and the main verb plus "-ing." The structure is Subject + am/is/are + verb + -ing. We use 'am' for 'I', 'are' for 'you/we/they', and 'is' for 'he/she/it'.
- Subject + am/is/are + verb + -ing.
- Use 'am' with 'I', 'are' with 'you/we/they', 'is' with 'he/she/it'.
Spelling Rules for -ing
Most verbs simply add -ing, like 'play' becomes 'playing'. If a verb ends in -e, you drop the -e and add -ing, for example, 'write' becomes 'writing'. For verbs ending in a single vowel + a single consonant (CVC), you double the last consonant and add -ing, like 'run' becomes 'running'.
- Most verbs add -ing.
- Drop -e, then add -ing.
- Double consonant for CVC verbs.
