## present continuous

Je gebruikt de present continuous om aan te geven dat iemand iets nu aan het doen is.

Je maakt de present continuous door een vorm van 'to be' + hele werkwoord + -ing.

Voorbeelden:

- I am cook ing dinner.
- You are cook ing dinner.
- He/she is cook ing dinner.
- We are cook ing dinner.
- You are cook ing dinner.
- They are cook ing dinner.

Signaalwoorden die aangeven dat de present continuous wordt gebruikt zijn: (right) now, at the moment, Look!

Deze woorden kunnen in de zin staan, maar dat hoeft niet!

Voorbeeld: I am cook ing dinner at the moment.

Ook in vraagzinnen en ontkennende zinnen kun je de present continuous gebruiken:

| Vraagzin | Ontkenning
--- | --- | ---
I am cooking. | Am I cooking? | I am not cooking.
You are cooking. | Are you cooking? | You are not cooking.
He is cooking. | Is he cooking? | He is not cooking.
We are cooking. | Are we cooking? | We are not cooking.
You are cooking. | Are we cooking? | We are not cooking.
They are cooking. | Are they cooking? | They are not cooking.
