Presente continuo (progresivo)Cuando conjugamos un verbo en presente continuo se debe de poner como auxiliar el verbo to be en presente simple (am, is, are segn corresponda) y despus el verbo siguiente con terminacin ing. Los verbos que terminan en e se le quita la e y se agrega ing, ejemplo like = liking Ej: Para la forma negativa slo se le agrega la clausula not, despus del verbo to be. Y en el caso de la forma interrogativa se invierte el pronombre con el verbo to be como se ve a continuacin:
