## Present Continuous

We use the present continuous to tell something that is happening right now or at this moment.

How do we make the present continuous?

We make the present continuous with the verb 'to be' and the verb (werkwoord) +ing

is, am or are + verb+ing

Example:

Subject is Sarah

Verb is to write

Sarah is writing a birthday message for her friend right now.

Present continuous in a row with the verb 'to be'

I am writing

You are writing

He, She, It is writing

They are writing

We are writing

You are writing

Signaalwoorden

De present continuous gebruiken we als iets nu, op dit moment gebeurt. In het Nederlands zeggen we 'Sarah is nu aan het schrijven.' Meest voorkomende signaalwoorden zijn: now, at the moment, as we speak en right now.
