Progressive forms or «Going, going, gone!» 
 
In this story you will see many examples of 
Progressive Verb Forms
(also known as 
Continuous Forms)
. Here is the structure of the 
Progressive Forms: 
subject
auxiliary verb 
(be)
+ main verb 
(gerund)
Sometimes a modal verb can be used before the auxiliary verb: 
subject
+ modal verb 
(could/would/should)
+ auxiliary verb 
(be)

main verb 
(gerund)
There are other structures such as the Present Perfect Continous: 
subject
+ auxiliary verb 
(have)
+ past participle 
(been)
+ main verb 
(gerund)
We use the progressive from when: 

we want to describe an action that is happing right now 

we want to describe an action that will be happening in the 
future

we want to describe an activity or process that started in the 
past and is still going on
Here are some examples: 

We 
are reading
an interesting story right now. 

My wife 
is flying
to Madrid tomorrow.

My wife 
would be flying
to Madrid tomorrow if she had a 
holiday.

Our partners 
have been working
with us for 10 years now.
Now enjoy the following story and find the progressive forms in 
italics

«Going Going Gone!» 
Andrew and Daisy Marvell 
were going to
spend another holiday in 
Majorca. Everyone knew that — the postman knew it, the dustman 
knew it and their next door neighbours also knew they 
would be 
going
there. The simple reason was that they 
had been going
there 
for their summer holiday for the last twenty-five years. 
Most people in Britain are subjected to an endless bombardment of 
advertisements on television just after Christmas inviting them to 
book for their summer holiday. The adverts 
are constantly telling
viewers that if they book early, they will save enormous amounts of
