Present Continuous 3

Present Continuous Grammar

📚Present Continuous

💡The present continuous is a verb tense we use when we talk about things happening right now or around now. It's also used when we talk about things that are temporary (not forever).

🔧We make the present continuous by using the verb "to be" (am, is, are) and the -ing form of the main verb.

🏗️How to form the Present Continuous:

👤Subject (I, you, he, she, etc.)
🔗To be (am, is, are)
⚡Main verb (with -ing)

📝Examples:

🏃I am running. (I'm running right now.)
🎮She is playing. (She is playing now.)
🍽️They are eating. (They are eating right now.)

⚠️Important things to remember:

👆"I am" – We always say "I am", never just "I."
👨👩"He is / She is" – Use "is" with he, she, or it.
👥"You are / They are" – Use "are" with you and they.

💬Examples of Present Continuous:

📖I am reading a book. (I am doing it right now.)
⚽They are playing soccer. (They are doing it now.)
📺He is watching TV. (He is doing it at this moment.)

🎯When to use the Present Continuous:

🕐For actions happening right now: "I am writing in my notebook."
⏳For temporary actions: "She is staying with her grandmother this week."
📅For future plans: "We are going to the park tomorrow."
