Present Continuous - Present Continuous
Group Times Continuous indicate a process, an action that continues at a certain moment in the past, present or future.
Time Present Continuous usually indicates a process lasting directly at the moment of speech. This can be indicated by the context or words such as now (now), at the moment (at the current moment), etc.:
Sally is doing her homework at the moment.

- am- 1 person, unit h. (I am shaving.)
- is- 3rd person, unit. h. (He is reading.)
- are- 2 person unit. hours and all forms pl. h. (They are sleeping.)
Personal pronouns and the auxiliary verb are often shortened to I'm, he's, she's, it's, we're, you're, they're.
The present participle (Participle I) can be obtained by adding to initial form meaningful verb ending -ing:
jump-jump ing, live - live ng

AT negative sentences the auxiliary verb is followed by a negative particle not. Forms is and are and can be reduced to isn't and aren't respectively.

Cases of using Present Continuous
- An indication of the process occurring directly at the moment of the conversation:
The doctor is now performing the operation.
- Description of the characteristic properties of a person, often with a negative connotation:
Why are you always interrupting people?
He is always shouting at me.
He always yells at me.
- Planned action in the future, often with verbs of motion:
We land at Heathrow in 20 minutes.
Note:
English verbs associated with perception (notice, hear, see, feel ...), emotions (love, hate, like ...), mental processes (think, believe, understand ...), possession (have, possess .. .) are not used in Continuous tenses, because they themselves denote a process. Time is used instead present simple:
I hear you, don't shout. I hear you, don't scream.
I love pancakes. I love pancakes.
Dear colleagues! In the third issue of the Russian Language newspaper for 2009, a list of words with the correct stress was published, which are supposed to be used in the exam test. Thank you very much for your concern for teachers as well – not everyone still has the opportunity to get information on the Internet in a timely manner – and above all for children who will face a difficult test. Open publication of changes in control measuring materials allows (albeit slightly) to reduce fear and nervousness in anticipation of the exam. Using the list you printed, I made up several exercises that allow you to control how successful the work on mastering orthoepic norms is. The proposed tests can be used both as training and as control tests. Ten options will ensure the independence of their implementation. I take 5-7 minutes to work. I would be glad if these small tests make life easier for someone else. E.V. Yuminova |
