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?
