Present Continuous

 

The Present Continuous is used when we talk about things that are happening at the moment or temporarily. It is formed this way:

Subject

"To Be" verb

Verb

ing
               
I
am
talk
ing
(talking)
They
are
read
ing

We make questions and negative phrases in the Present Continuous like this:

-You're not listening! What are you doing?
-I'm reading.

-What is Jane doing? Is she having a shower?
-No, she's not. She's having a bath.
