The Present Continuous/Progressive Tense

Tense	Key words	Form	Examples (+)	Examples (-)	Examples (?)
Present Continuous/ Progressive	now at the moment Look! Listen!	to be (am, is, are) + Infinitive + ing	I am working. She is working.	I am not working. She is not working. (I’m not, isn’t, aren’t)	Am I working? Is she working?

Допоміжне дієслово: to be (am, is, are).

Вживання:

• Дія відбувається в момент мовлення

• Майбутня дія, що відбудеться у визначений, спланований, домовлений час.

Form

Positive statement: I am playing, You are playing, He is playing

Negative statement: I am not playing (I'm not playing), You are not playing (You aren't playing), He is not playing (He isn't playing)

Question: Are you playing? Is he playing?

Neg. question: Are you not playing? (Aren't you playing?) Is he not playing? (Isn't he playing?)

The present continuous tense is formed with the verb to be and the present participle (-ing ending). The negative question normally expresses a surprise. Isn't he working?

Use

1. We use the present continuous for an activity that is happening just now.

I am learning English at the moment. You aren't listening! Why is he sitting here?

2. We use it for an action happening about this time (today, this week), but not necessarily at the moment of speaking. It is a temporary activity.

I am in London. I am staying at the hotel. (But just now you can be somewhere else.)

She can't go out. She is writing her essay today. (But she can be having lunch at the moment.)

You can't borrow this book today. Mary is reading it. (But not right now.)

3. With a future time expression (soon, on Monday) we use the present continuous for definite

arrangements in the near future. It is more personal than the present simple tense, because it expresses

the speaker's plan.

I am leaving soon. We are meeting on Monday.
