In this video, I want to help you to understand the Present Continuous tense (also called the Present Progressive tense) and be able to use it correctly.

I want to help you to know why we use different verb tenses and explain the form and the uses of the Present Continuous.

So, let’s begin…

How to form the Present Continuous
Positive

To form positive sentences we use the present simple of the verb to be and the ing form(the present participle) of the verb you want to use.

Example: I am playing the guitar.

Negative

To form negative sentences in the present continuous tense we add not after the verb to be and before the present participle(ING) that you want to use. 

Example: I am not playing the guitar.

Questions

To form a question in the Present Continuous tense we change the order of the subject and the verb to be. 

So… You are talking — Are you talking?

Example: Are you playing the guitar?
