STUCTURE 5

Present Continuous Tense

 

The Present Continuous is mainly used to express the idea that something is happening at the moment of speaking. The Present Continuous also describes activities generally in progress (not at the moment). Another use of the tense is to talk about temporary actions or future plans. 

a.    Use 1: Present Actions

Most often, we use the Present Continuous tense to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking.

example :

1. He is eating a dinner.
2. Mary is talking with her friends.    
3. They are swimming in the pool.
4. The kids are watching TV.    
5. I am sitting down, because I am tired.
6. I am not learning German, because this is an English class.
7. Who are you writing to?
8. The telephone is ringing!
9. They are doing their homework.
10. I'm waiting for my girlfriend in front of the cinema.

b.   Use 2: Temporary Actions

We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment.

example :

1. Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week.
2. I am reading a really interesting book now.
3. How are you brushing up on your English for the trip?
4. We aren't working hard these days.
5. I'm reading an interesting book.
6. Tom is looking for a new job.
7. We are studying English and Spanish.
8. I'm riding a bike to get to work because my car is broken.
9. They are not talking with each other after the last argument.
10. Mary is working at McDonald's. 

c.   Use 3: Longer Actions in Progress

We also use the Present Continuous when we are in the middle of doing something time-consuming (i.e. something that takes time to complete). An example of such an activity is writing a book, saving money or studying for an exam.

example :

     

1.  They are working hard to earn money.
2.  I am training to become a professional footballer.
3.  Mike is studying hard to become a doctor.

8.  I am not reading any books right now.
9.  Are you working on any special projects at work?
10.  Aren't you teaching at the university now?.

d.  Use 4: Future (Personal) Arrangements and Plans

Sometimes we use the Present Continuous to show that something is planned and will be done in the near future.

example :

1.  I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday.
2.  Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow.
3.  Are you doing anything tonight?
4.  We aren't going on holiday next week.

9.  I am not going to the party tonight.
10.  Is he visiting his parents next weekend?

e.  Use 5: Tendencies and Trends

His tense is also used for expressing tendencies or trends.

example :

1. Our country is getting richer.
2. The Internet is becoming less of a novelty.
3. The Universe is expanding .

f.  Use 6: Irritation or Anger
