The Present Continuous (also called PRESENT PROGRESSIVE) Form Use

Form + + They are watching TV. + + They aren’t watching. FORMA AFFERMATIVA + + They are watching TV. FORMA NEGATIVA + + They aren’t watching. FORMA INTERROGATIVA + + ? Are they watching TV? SOGGETTO PRESENTE TO BE FORMA -ING SOGGETTO FORMA NEGATIVA TO BE FORMA -ING PRESENTE TO BE SOGGETTO FORMA -ING

-ing form (exercises) La forma –ing si ottiene aggiungendo –ing alla forma base del verbo. REGOLE ORTOGRAFICHE Se il verbo termina in –E la –E cade e si aggiunge –ING: make making hope hoping se il verbo termina in –IE quest’ultimo si trasforma in Y+ING: lie lying Se il verbo è monosillabico e termina con una sola consonante preceduta da una sola vocale si raddoppia la consonante finale: stop stopping BUT sleep sleeping Se il verbo è bisillabico e l’accento cade sull’ultima sillaba, si raddoppia la consonante finale: beGIN beginning BUT HAPpen happening

Pertanto, si avrà: NEGATIVA I’m reading You’re reading He’s reading AFFERMATIVA NEGATIVA INTERROGATIVA I’m reading You’re reading He’s reading She’s reading It’s reading We’re reading Yhey’re reading I’m not reading You aren’t reading He isn’t reading She isn’t reading It isn’t reading We aren’t reading Yhey aren’t reading Am I reading? Are you reading? Is he reading? Is she reading? Is it reading? Are we reading? Are they reading?

Use (exercises) Si usa per esprimere un’azione che si sta svolgendo nel momento in cui si parla. Look – it’s raining again. Si usa per esprimere un’azione o una situazione temporanea. At the moment they‘re living in a very small flat. Si usa per esprimere un’azione che ha luogo in un tempo presente anche se non necessariamente nel momento in cui si parla. Jane’s taking driving lessons. Si usa per parlare di un’azione programmata (arrangement)che avverrà sicuramente in un prossimo futuro. [see prepositions of time] He’s going to the theatre on Thursday evening.

Some more examples Alan works as a journalist but at the moment he’s writing a book. (SITUAZIONE TEMPORANEA) Paula is studying Economics in Germany. (AZIONE CHE SI STA SVOLGENDO IN QUEL PERIODO) ‘Well, goodnight. I’m going to bed.’ (AZIONE CHE SI SVOLGE NEL MOMENTO IN CUI SI PARLA) I’m playing a lot of tennis these days. (AZIONE CHE SI STA SVOLGENDO IN QUEL PERIODO) His new secretary is starting on Friday. (AZIONE PROGRAMMATA NEL FUTURO)
