Introducción
Present continuous, también llamado present
progressive o -ing form, es la forma continua del
presente en inglés. Se asemeja al uso del gerundio en
español. Se utiliza principalmente para expresar
acciones que están teniendo lugar en el momento del
habla o que tienen una validez temporal. También
puede emplearse con valor de futuro cercano para
planes o intenciones. Se forma con el presente
del verbo be y el gerundio del verbo principal.
Aprende con Lingolia a conjugar los verbos en
presente continuo y conoce todas las situaciones en
las que puedes recurrir a este tiempo. En la sección
de ejercicios puedes poner a prueba tus
conocimientos.
 Uso

 planes o citas programados para un futuro cercano;
 Ejemplo:

 acciones temporales;

grammar
Present Continuous Forms
 The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle. Questions are
indicated by inverting the subject and am/is/are. Negatives are made with not.
 Statement: You are watching TV.
 Question: Are you watching TV?
 Negative: You are not watching TV.
 In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so
on. Sometimes, we use the present continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a
longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.
(First)
 Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.)
 I am studying to become a doctor.
 I am not studying to become a dentist.
 I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.
 I am not reading any books right now.
 Are you working on any special projects at work?
 Aren't you teaching at the university now?
REMEMBER Non-Continuous
Verbs / Mixed Verbs
 It is important to remember that non-continuous verbs cannot be used in any continuous
tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for mixed verbs cannot be used in continuous
tenses. Instead of using present continuous with these verbs, you must use simple present.
 Examples:
 She is loving this chocolate ice cream. Not Correct
 She loves this chocolate ice cream. Correct
 ADVERB PLACEMENT
 The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never,
ever, still, just, etc.
 Examples:
 You are still watching TV.
 Are you still watching TV?
 ACTIVE / PASSIVE
 Examples:
 Right now, Tom is writing the letter. Active
 Right now, the letter is being written by Tom. Passive
