GRAMMAR: THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

The present continuous is made from the present tense of the verb be and the –ing form of a verb:

I am	working
You are	playing
He is	talking
She is	living
It is	eating
We are	staying
They are	sleeping

We use the present continuous to talk about:

• 
  activities at the moment of speaking:
  

I'm just leaving work. I'll be home in an hour.
Please be quiet. The children are sleeping.

• 
  future plans or arrangements:
  

Mary is going to a new school next term.
What are you doing next week?

Present continuous questions

We make questions by putting am, is or are in front of the subject:

Are you listening?
Are they coming to your party?
When is she going home?
What am I doing here?

Present continuous negatives

We make negatives by putting not (or n't) after am, is or are:

I'm not doing that.
You aren't listening. (or You're not listening.)
They aren't coming to the party. (or They're not coming to the party.)
She isn't going home until Monday. (or She's not going home until Monday.)

Stative verbs

We do not normally use the continuous with stative verbs. Stative verbs include:

• 
  verbs of thinking and feeling:
  

believe dislike know like

love hate prefer realise

recognise remember suppose think (= believe)

understand want wish

• 
  verbs of the senses:
  

appear feel

look seem

smell sound

taste

• 
  others:
  

agree be

belong disagree

need owe

own possess

We normally use the simple instead:

I understand you. (NOT I am understanding you.)
This cake tastes wonderful. (NOT This cake is tasting wonderful.)

We also use the present continuous to talk about:

• 
  something which is happening before and after a specific time:
  

At eight o'clock we are usually having breakfast.
When I get home the children are doing their homework.

• 
  something which we think is temporary:
  

Michael is at university. He's studying history.
I'm working in London for the next two weeks.

• 
  something which is new and contrasts with a previous state:
  

These days most people are using email instead of writing letters.
What sort of clothes are teenagers wearing nowadays?
What sort of music are they listening to?

• 
  something which is changing, growing or developing:
  

The children are growing up quickly.
The climate is changing rapidly.
Your English is improving.

• 
  something which happens again and again:
  

It's always raining in London.
They are always arguing.
George is great. He's always laughing.

Note that we normally use always with this use.

 We can use the present continuous to talk about the past when we are:

• 
  telling a story:
  

The other day I'm just walking down the street when suddenly this man comes up to me and asks me to lend him some money. Well, he's carrying a big stick and he looks a bit dangerous, so I'm wondering what to do …

• 
  summarising a book, film or play:
  

Harry Potter is a pupil at Hogwarts school. One day when he is playingQuidditch he sees a strange object in the sky. He wonders what is happening …
