The present continuous tense

The Present Continuous Tense употребляется для выражения действия, которое совершается в момент речи.

Образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be, который изменяется в зависимости от времени и числа подлежащего, и смыслового глагола с окончанием ing.

He is playing tennis now.

They are reading a book.

В вопросительных предложениях вспомогательный глагол to be выносится на первое место:

Is he writing a letter now?

What are they doing now?

В отрицательных предложениях частица not ставится после глагола to be:

We are not listening to music now.

She is not watching TV at the moment.
