El Present Continuous
Recorda que el Present Continuous expressa el que estem fent o el que esdevé en el moment en què es parla.
Acostuma a anar acompanyat de les expressions at the moment (en aquest moment), now (ara), right now
(ara mateix) i today (avui).
L’afirmativa es fa amb el present del verb to be (am, is, are) + el verb principal acabat en ing.
Josh is reading now. (En Josh està llegint ara.)
En negativa afegim not a am, però a is i are podem afegir-los not o la contracció n’t.
People aren’t walking in the street. (La gent no està caminant pel carrer.)
En interrogativa el subjecte va entre el verb to be i el verb acabat en ing. A les respostes breus afirmatives
s’utilitzen els pronoms subjecte i am, is o are sense abreujar, però a les negatives sí s’abreugen.
Is Belinda listening to music at the moment? Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t. (La Belinda està escoltant música en
aquest moment? Sí. / No)
Quan afegeixis la terminació ing a un verb has de seguir les regles ortogràfiques següents:
• Si acaba en e muda, perd la e.
write ➝ writing drive ➝ driving come ➝ coming
• Si té 1 síl·laba i acaba en vocal + consonant, es dobla la consonant.
stop ➝ stopping run ➝ running sit ➝ sitting

Anuncia allò que tindrà lloc en el futur proper perquè ho hem programat per endavant.
Per tal que aquesta idea de futur estigui clara hem de dir quan esdevindrà l’acció.
