The continuous tense

The continuous tense shows an action that is, was, or will be in progress at a certain time. The continuous tense is formed with the verb ‘be’ + -ing form of the verb.

The continuous tenses: grammar rules, usage and patterns.


  1. Present continuous

  2. Past continuous

  3. Future continuous

Present continuous



I am doing

Study this example situation:

-Sarah is in her car. She is on her way to work.

-She is driving to work.

This means: she is driving now, at the time of speaking.

The action is not finished.

Am/is/are + -ing is the present continuous:

I am (= I'm)

he/she/it is (= he's etc.)

we/you/they are (= we're etc.)


driving

working


doing etc.

I am doing something = I'm in the middle of doing it; I've started doing it and I haven't finished:

-Please don't make so much noise. I'm trying to work. (not I try)

-‘Where's Mark?' ‘He's having a shower.' (not He has a shower)

-Let's go out now. It isn't raining any more. (not It doesn't rain)

-(ataparty) Hi, Jane. Are you enjoying the party? (not Do you enjoy)

-What's all that noise? What's going on? (= What's happening?)

Sometimes the action is not happening at the time of speaking.
For example:

Steve is talking to a friend on the phone. He says:

- “I'm reading a really good book at the moment.

It's about a man who ...”


Steve is not reading the book at the time of speaking.

He means that he has started it, but has not finished it yet.

He is in the middle of reading it.
Some more examples:

-Kate wants to work in Italy, so she's learning Italian, (but perhaps she isn't learning Italian

at the time of speaking)

-Some friends of mine are building their own house. They hope to finish it next summer.


You can use the present continuous with today / this week / this year etc. (periods around now):

-A : You're working hard today. (not You work hard today)

B: Yes, I have a lot to do.

-The company I work for isn't doing so well this year.

We use the present continuous when we talk about changes happening around now, especially with these verbs:
