THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

mardi 24 décembre 2013




The present continuous  tense is formed with the present tense of the auxiliary verb TO BE + the present participle (the infinitive without to + ING)
Ex. I am working           We are not reading               Are you writing?



The present continuous is used
§  For an action happening now.
Ex.      It’s raining (now)   What are you doing?

 
§  For a definite arrangement in the near future (and it is the most usual way of expressing one’s immediate plans).

Ex. I’m meeting Peter tonight.
Are you doing anything tomorrow afternoon?

Note that the time of the action is always mentioned, as otherwise there might be confusion between present and future meanings. GO and COME, however, can be used without a time expression.
