III-PRESENT CONTINUOUS FORMS: 2- Present Continuous Uses CORPORACIÓN UNIVERSITARIA MINUTO DE DIOS 1010 Versión: 1**
USE 1 Now Use the present continuous with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. -Examples: You are learning English now. * You are not swimming now. Are you sleeping? *^ I am sitting. I am not standing. * Is he sitting or standing? They are reading their books. * They are not watching television. What are you doing? * Why aren't you doing your homework? USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the present continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second. Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.) I am studying to become a doctor. * I am not studying to become a dentist. I am reading the book Tom Sawyer. * Aren't you teaching at the university now? Are you working on any special projects at work? * I am not reading any books right now. USE 3 Near Future Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. - Examples: I am meeting some friends after work. * I am not going to the party tonight. Is he visiting his parents next weekend? * Isn't he coming with us tonight? USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with "Always" The present continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like simple present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing." Examples: She is always coming to class late.
1. LEARNING TOPIC TEMA: II- THE PAST CONTINUOUS VII - We use the past continuous to talk about the past: For something which happened before and after another action : 1 - The children were doing their homework when I got home. Compare: The children did their homework when (= after) I got home. This use of the past continuous is very common at the beginning of a story: The other day I was waiting for a bus when … Last week, as I was driving to work, … for something that happened before and after a specific time : It was eight o'clock. I was writing a letter. Compare: At eight o'clock I wrote (= started writing) some letters. To show that something continued for some time : My head was aching. Everyone was shouting. for something that happened again and again : I was practising every day, three times a day. - They were meeting _secretly after school.
