Present Continuous

What is the present continuous? 

The present continuous is an action we are doing now.

It´s formed with 

                                     "To be" + verb-ing (Gerund) 

Remember: "To be" = am, are, is

Example: S+"to be" + Gerund

                     I am playing

                     He is playing

                     We are playing

There are some rules, have a look.

  

Let's practice! Click on the game.

Here comes the Negative!

To make the negative we use the magic word "not." 

It goes before the action verb.

Example: S+"to be" + not + Gerund

                     I am not playing

                     He is not playing

                     We are not playing

Ready for the Interrogative!

To make the interrogative we use the verb "to be"  before the  pronoun or noun. Don´t forget the ? mark
       Are you playing?

       Is he playing?

      Are we playing?

Now, how do we answer?

That is easy peacy!

              Yes, I am.                    No, I am not.

              Yes, he is.                   No, he is not.
              Yes, we are.              No, we are not.

Read together.
