FUNCIONES DEL "PRESENT CONTINUOUS"
• Como ocurre con todos los tiempos verbales del inglés, la actitud del hablante es tan importante
como el momento en que ocurre la acción o el evento. Al emplear el "present continuous", nos
estamos refiriendo a algo que no ha terminado o está incompleto
• EL "PRESENT CONTINUOUS" SE UTILIZA:
• para describir una acción que está teniendo lugar en este momento: You are using the Internet. You are
studying English grammar.
• para describir una tendencia o una acción que está sucediendo en la actualidad: Are you still working for the
same company? More and more people are becoming vegetarian.
• para describir una acción o evento futuros que ya están programados: We're going on holiday tomorrow. I'm
meeting my boyfriend tonight. Are they visiting you next winter?
• para describir una situación o evento temporales: He usually plays the drums, but he's playing bass guitar
tonight. The weather forecast was good, but it's raining at the moment.
• con "always, forever, constantly", para describir y enfatizar una sucesión de acciones repetidas: Harry and
Sally are always arguing! You're constantly complaining about your mother-in-law!
• ¡CUIDADO! Hay algunos verbos que no suelen emplear la forma progresiva
