Success depends on you !

The Present Continuous Tense always works with the verb To Be , so their structures are similar.

Examples:

I am a student. ( Simple Present with BE )

I am studying languages. ( Present Continuous )

Carmen isnt my friend. ( Simple Present with BE )

She isnt talking to her friend. ( Present Continuous )

We must conjugate the verbs in the -ING form (watch = watching).

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

SPELLING -ING FORM

1.-Most verbs : look looking stay staying 2.-Verbs ending in - E: make making write writing 3.-Verbs ending in one vowel + one consonant ( one syllable

verbs ): stop stopping sit sitting 4.- Verbs ending in IE: lie lying die dying

I am ( reading ) = Im ( reading )

You are ( reading ) = Youre ( reading )

They are ( reading ) = Theyre ( reading )

We are ( reading ) = Were ( reading )

She is ( reading ) = Shes ( reading )

He is ( reading ) = Hes ( reading )

It is ( reading ) = Its ( reading )

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE and THE VERB TO BE

AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES

Analyze the affirmative sentence below:

My brother is cooking dinner right now.

Well, as you have seen, affirmative sentences need: -SUBJECT -VERB TO BE ( am, is, are ) -An ING VERB -COMPLEMENT

AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES

Were eating lunch.

I am watering the roses.

Negative sentences have the same grammatical structure as affirmative ones, but we need to add the word NOT after the verb To Be and before the main verb ( -ING verb ).

She is not washing clothes. She is doing the dishes.

NEGATIVE SENTENCES

NEGATIVE SENTENCES

I am not playing with my ball.

We arent dancing salsa music now.

In Interrogative Sentences we have to change the position between the subject and the verb

To Be of the affirmative sentences.

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES

I am running

at this

moment.

Are you running

at this moment ? No, Im not.

AFFIRMATIVE

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES

Are they playing basketball ?

No, they arent. They are playing musical

instruments.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS

En las diapositivas anteriores pudiste observar la estructura

gramatical de oraciones interrogativas que podemos

responder con Yes o con No, a este tipo de preguntas se les

llama YES NO Questions. Pero en las preguntas de

Informacin, tenemos que utilizar palabras de informacin,

las mismas que sern utilizadas al inicio de la oracin

interrogativa sumadas a la estructura de una pregunta

de YES NO.

What = Qu ?

Where = Dnde ?

Why = Por qu ?

When = Cundo ?

How = Cmo ?

Who = Quin ?

INFORMATION QUESTIONS

Examples:

1.- A: What is your co-worker doing now?

(Qu est haciendo tu compaero de trabajo ahora?)

B: He is writing some documents.

(l est escribiendo algunos documentos.)

2.- A: Where are they swimming at this moment?

(Dnde estn nadando ellos en este momento?)

B: They are swimming in the new pool.

(Ellos estn nadando en la piscina nueva.)

3.- A: Why are you preparing coffee?

(Por qu ests preparando caf?)

B: Because I love it.

4.- A: When is she coming home?

(Cundo est viniendo ella?)

B: Next Sunday.

(El prximo domingo.)

INFORMATION QUESTIONS

Si analizaste las oraciones habrs notado que la

estructura de estas es la misma que hemos

empleado para las preguntas de YES - NO, slo

estamos agregando una palabra al inicio de la

oracin, la cual corresponde a una pregunta de

informacin.

A: Where ?

B: In his bedroom.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS

is he studying Maths

Si observas la oracin del

recuadro, te podrs dar cuenta

que la estructura corresponde

a un Yes No question, lo

que significa que se

puede responder con

yes o no.

Si a este Yes No question, le

agregamos una palabra de

informacin, como WHERE, se convierte

en un Information Question, donde el

objetivo es responder a esta palabra,

lo que se cumple en la respuesta.

REMEMBER:

Las formas de contraccin en el presente continuo son las mismas del verbo To Be.
