Continuous present tense (Present continuous) is what?
Then HTTD used to describe the incident as soon as we say or around the time of speaking, and acting not ended (still continuing).
Configuration architecture, the present continuous in English
1. Affirm: S + am / is / are + V-ing
Where:
S (subject): Subject
am / is / are: 3 format of the verb "to be"
V-ing: verb add "- ing "
Note:
- S = I + am - S = He / She / It + is - S = We / You / They + are
for example: - I am playing football with my friends. (I was playing football with my friends.)
- She is cooking with the her mother. (She was cooking with her mother.)
- We are studying English. (We are learning English.)
We see the use of verbs in the present continuous need to have two components: a verb "TO BE" and "V-ing". Depending on the subject with the verb "to be" with various conjugations.
The structure, the present continuous tense in English
2. Negatives: S + am / is / are + not + V-ing
Note: - am not: no abbreviated form - is not = is not - are not = are not
, for example: - I am not listening to music at the moment. (At this point I'm not listening to music.)
- My sister is not working now. (My sister is not working.)
- They are not watching the TV at present. (Now I am not watching TV.)
For the negation of the present continuous tense in English grammar we just add "not" after the verb "to be" and communities from the tail "-ing ".
3. Question: Am / Is / Are + S + V-ing?
Answer: Yes, I + am.
- Yes, he / she / it + is.
- Yes, we / you / they + are.
No, I + am not.
- No, he / she / it + is not.
- No, we / you / they + are not.
for us only the island question verb "to be" ahead of the subject.
for example, : - Are you doing của homework? (You're doing homework right?) Yes, I am./ No, I am not.
- Is he going out with you? (He's going out with friends is not it?) Yes, he is./ No, he is not.

(On the other! Ships are coming.) - Listen! Someone is crying. (Listen! Someone is crying.) - Keep silent! The baby is sleeping. (Be silent! The baby is asleep.)
The use of the present continuous tense in English
Describe the action is happening at the time of speaking.
For example: - We are now studying Maths. (Now we're math) I saw at the time to say (now), the math is going on, so we use the present continuous to express.
- She is walking to school at the moment. (Now she was walking to school.) At the time of speaking (this time), then she walked to the school is going on, so we use the present continuous to express.
Describe the ongoing around the time of speaking.
For example: - I am looking for a job. (I am looking for a job.) I understand at the time described the speaker is saying do not go to apply or to find things in that time (may start a month earlier) speakers are seeking a job. But when the general would say that what is happening around that time we also use the present continuous.
- I am working for HDC company. (I'm working for the company HDC) Same as the above, "working for the company HDC not begun that began before then. But he said he wanted to express that it is happening.
Describe an event will occur in the future under a plan has been fixed schedule.
For example: I Bought the ticket yesterday. I am flying to New York tomorrow. I think that there are grounds, a clear plan (I bought airline tickets), so we use the present continuous tense to talk about something that will definitely happen in the future.
Expressing dissatisfaction or complaints what about the use of "always".
for example: He is always coming late. (He was full late.) Why are you always putting dirty clothes trên của bed? (Why you are always dirty clothes on the bed for that?) I think that "always" is an adverb frequency and often encountered in the present tense. But that is merely referring to the frequency of an event happening somehow.
For example: "She always goes to school at 6:30 am." (She was always going to school at 6:30). But when you want to express discomfort or want to complain about what we use the present continuous tense to talk.)
Rules to add "-ing" after the verb of the present continuous
Usually we just added "-ing" after the verb. But some noted as follows:
With A verb ending in the letter "e":
- I give "e" before adding "-ing".
Example: write - writing type - typing come - coming
- End is TWO LETTERS "e" does not give "e" while adding "-ing" normal.
with one syllable verb, take
