Welcome to learning the Present Continuous tense! This tense describes actions that are happening right now, at this very moment. The structure is simple: Subject plus am, is, or are, plus a verb ending in -ing. For example, I am reading a book.
Now let's learn which helping verb to use. Use 'am' only with 'I'. Use 'is' with 'he', 'she', 'it', and singular nouns. Use 'are' with 'you', 'we', 'they', and plural nouns. Watch as we show different examples with the correct helping verbs.
The present continuous is perfect for describing actions happening right now, at this exact moment. For example, I am typing on my computer, she is drinking coffee, the dog is barking, or we are watching TV. These are all actions in progress at the present moment.
Present continuous also describes temporary actions happening around now, but not necessarily at this exact moment. For example, he is studying for exams this week, we are living in a hotel, I am working on a project, or she is taking English classes. These are temporary situations, not permanent ones.
Let's summarize what we've learned about present continuous tense. The structure is subject plus am, is, or are, plus verb with -ing. We use it for actions happening right now and temporary actions around now. Remember: am with I, is with he, she, it, and are with you, we, they. Now you're ready to use present continuous tense!
