PRESENT CONTINUOUS

La fórmula (estructura) del presente continuo es muy sencilla:

Sujeto + am/are/is (verbo to be) + verbo acabado en –ing. Como podemos observar, aquí el verbo
auxiliar no recibe transformación alguna, ya que el que cambia es el verbo principal. They are
talking about what they will do for the holidays.

FORMA NEGATIVA: En las frases negativas, la fórmula que utilizamos es Sujeto + verbo auxiliar ‘to
be’ + NOT + Verbo + ING.

Emma is not coming home this Christmas.

Emma no viene a casa esta Navidad.

The boys are not joining the party tonight.

Los chicos no se unen a la fiesta esta noche.

FORMA INTERROGATIVA: A la hora de hacer preguntas, al igual que en la forma negativa,


utilizamos el auxiliar to be + sujeto + verbo terminado en ‘-ing’.

Are they coming for dinner?

¿Van a venir a cenar?

Is he working on Saturdays?

¿Está trabajando los sábados?

Am I doing the right thing?

¿Estoy haciendo lo correcto?
