Present Continuous Tense

The present continuous tense (also known as the present progressive) describes actions or processes that are ongoing at the moment of speaking. It can also convey future plans and intentions. The present continuous is formed by combining a form of the auxiliary verb “be” with the present participle (“-ing” form) of another verb (e.g., “I am swimming”). Let’s examine all its forms:

1. Affirmative Form

PersonFormExample
First Person SingularI am + present participleI am reading a book.
Second Person SingularYou are + present participleYou are watching TV.
Third Person SingularHe/She/It is + present participleShe is cooking dinner.
First Person PluralWe are + present participleWe are studying for exams.
Second Person PluralYou are + present participleYou are playing football.
Third Person PluralThey are + present participleThey are traveling to Paris.

4. Present Simple Tense

The present simple tense is used to express general truths, habitual actions, and permanent situations. It is also used to talk about future events that are part of a timetable or occur after certain words (e.g., “when,” “until,” “after,” “before,” “as soon as”). The present simple tense is formed by using the base form of the verb (e.g., “I play,” “She eats,” “They live”). Let’s examine all its forms:
