⟩ O Present Continuous é um tempo verbal da língua inglesa que serve para indicar ações que estão acontecendo no momento, nesse tempo verbal usamos os verbos no gerúndio, que se forma adicionando o -ing ao verbo principal da oração.

I am eating - Eu estou comendo
You are working - Você está trabalhando
He is studying - Ele está estudando

⟩ A estrutura para formar sentenças no Present Continuous é composta por:

Sujeito + verbo be + verbo com -ing

⟩ Porém, há regras para adicionar o -ing veja como fazer;

• Verbos terminados com a letra -e, perdem este -e para que o -ing seja acrescentado.

- take » taking

- make » making

• Verbos que possuem uma sequência de consoante » vogal » consoante devem ter a última consoante dobrada para acrescentar o -ing.

- get » getting

- run » running

>> No entanto, há alguns verbos dissílabos como begin e prefer, que a sílaba tônica é a última *gin e *fer. Nesse caso a última consoante deve ser dobrada para acrescentarmos -ing.

- begin vira beginning.

- prefer vira preferring.

• Verbos terminados com -ie, devemos substituir o -ie por -y.

- lie » lying

- die » dying

⟩ E para passar uma frase afirmativa para a negativa acrescentamos o not após o verbo to be e o verbo principal continua com o -ing;

Sujeito + verbo be + not + verb -ing
