USES OF PRESENT CONTINUOUS
When do you use the present continuous tense? To talk about actions in
the present, or things that are still going on or happening now.
You have to double the last letter of some verbs

before you add -ing. For example:
get + ing = getting rob + ing =

robbing nod + ing = nodding stop +
ing = stopping jog + ing = jogging
swin + ing = swimming
notice that the verbs above are all short verbs

of just one syllable.
They all end with a consonant such as b, d, g, m, p, t
and have only one vowel before the consonant.
If a verb ends in e, you usually have to drop
the e before you add -ing. For example:
chase + ing = chasing
cycle + ing =
cycling drive + ing
= driving
smile + ing = smiling
I´m playing chess with my friend
She´s riding a
horse
They are practicing tai chi
Use the present continuous tense to talk about thing you

have planned to do, or things that are going to happen in
the future. To form the present progressive tense, use
am, is and are as helping verbs or auxiliary verbs.
Note: We do not normally use these verbs in the

present continuous: have-.like-love-want- know –live –
remember – understand.
e.g. he wants an ice
cream.
NEVER: He is wanting an ice
cream.
