Present Continuous

How do we recognise the Present Continuous?

 

The Present Continuous wordt gebruikt als je wilt aangeven dat iets nog bezig is.

 

Om de Present Continuous te maken heb je het volgende nodig:

To be + Het hele ww (zonder to) + ing

So for example:

I am looking for my phone. (to look)

She is screaming for attention. ( to scream)

We are searching for my book. ( to search)

 

Aan de hand van signaalwoorden kan je de Present Continuous herkennen:

Now

At the moment

Look

Hurry up

Just now

Right now

 

Je gebruikt de vorm van to be bij de volgende persoonlijke voornaamwoorden:

I am

You Are

He/She/It is

We are

They Are

 

Positive sentence (+): You are watching that tv show right now

Negative sentence (-): We are not listening to you!

Question sentence (?):  Is she going home right now?
