Presente Continuo o Progresivo


El Presente Continuo o Presente Progresivo es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para expresar acciones que suceden en el mismo
momento en que se está hablando, por ejemplo:

I am speaking English. Yo estoy hablando inglés. (Está sucediendo ahora).


You are reading a book. Tú estás leyendo un libro.
He is studying the lesson. Él está estudiando la lección.
She is buying a hat. Ella está comprando un sombrero.
It is raining. Está lloviendo.
We are sleeping. Nosotros estamos durmiendo.
You are dancing in the street. Ustedes están bailando en la calle.
They are walking in the park. Ellos están caminando en el parque.
Este tiempo verbal se construye utilizando como auxiliar el Presente Simple del modo indicativo del verbo TO BE y como verbo
principal en infinitivo con la terminación ING, como vemos a continuación:

En el cuadro superior se utiliza el verbo jugar (TO PLAY) a modo de ejemplo.

Puede utilizarse además para referise a situaciones que suceden alrededor del momento en el que se habla, aunque no precisamente tiene
que ser en este mismo momento, por ejemplo:

He is working in a bank. Él está trabajando en un banco.


(Significa que es su trabajo habitual, aunque no necesariamente la persona debe estar trabajando ahora).

Los tiempos progresivos ("progressive tenses" o "continuous tenses") expresan el "progreso" o desarollo de una acción en un
momento dado.

El tiempo presente progresivo ("present progressive") expresa una acción que se está desarrollando en el momento presente,
generalmente, una acción temporania que comenzó hace poco tiempo y que terminará pronto.

En inglés, al igual que en español, el tiempo presente progresivo está formado por el verbo auxiliar "be" (ser o estar) conjugado
en tiempo presente, más el "present participle" (form + ing) del verbo principal.

Unos ejemplos son:


Sujeto estar/ser present participle
I am eating.
You are working
She/He is playing
They are singing

Cuidado

En inglés, el presente progresivo se usa con mucha más frecuencia que en español, aún cuando no está presente en la oración una
de las expresiones que lo indican. Por este motivo existe una tendencia en los hispano-parlantes a no usarlo.

Por ejemplo:

What are you doing? = Que haces

I am watching TV. = Miro la televisón.

También es posible usar el tiempo presente progresivo en inglés para hacer referencia a una acción en el futuro. Esto no es
posible en español, en donde es necesario usar el tiempo presente o alguna forma del futuro.

Por ejemplo

We are leaving at 6 PM tomorrow.

Present Progressive Presente Progresivo


El presente progresivo esta compuesto por el verbo "to be" y un verbo especial llamado gerundio (gerund). El gerundio se forma
generalmente agregando -ing al final del verbo.

  I am walking. Yo estoy caminando.


  They are laughing. Ellos se están riendo.
Si el verbo finaliza con una e silenciosa como en la palabra smile, la e cae antes de agregar el
final ing.

  Jacob is smiling. Jacobo esta sonriendo

El Presente Progresivo se utiliza para describir actividades que se desarrollan en el presente.

  You are laughing. Tú estás riendo.


  David is smiling. David está sonriendo.
  They are frowning. Ellos están frunciendo.
  We are walking. Nosotros estamos caminando.
  The baby is crying. El bebé está sonriendo.
  The athlete is running. El atleta está corriendo.

Algunos verbos nunca se utilizan en Presente Progresivo y sólo se lo hace en el Presente Simple. Algunos ejemplos se ven en la
tabla a continuacion.

see ver love amar like gustar


hear escuchar/oir hate odiar dislike disgustar
    prefer preferir want querer

  I see a bird. Yo veo un pájaro.


  He hears a sound. Él oye un sonido.
  Jacob loves food. Jacobo ama la comida.
  John hates baths. John odia bañarse.
  Susan likes trains. A Susana le gustan los trenes.
  She prefers apples. Ella prefiere manzanas.
They prefer apples to
  Ellos prefieren manzanas a naranjas.
oranges.
  We want oranges. Nosotros queremos naranjas.

Todas las oraciones que utilizan "to be" pueden ser convertidas en una pregunta llevándolo al principio de esta oracion.

  Are you laughing? ¿Están ustedes riendo?


  Is he swiming? ¿El está riendo?

Cuando los verbos están unidos, el primer verbo indica el tiempo. La segunda forma es un infinitivo (infinitive) que consiste en
la preposición ‘para’ y la forma principal del verbo. Los verbos con frecuencia se identifican por la forma del infinitivo: 'to be',
'to hate', etc.

  She likes to swim. A ella le gusta nadar.


  We love to laugh. A nosotros nos gusta reír.
  I hate to cry. A mí no me gusta llorar.

ADVERBS OF MANNER

Rule

Adverbs of manner tell us how something happens. They are usually placed after the main verb or after the
object.

Examples:

He swims well, (after the main verb)


He ran... rapidly, slowly, quickly..
She spoke... softly, loudly, aggressively..
James coughed loudly to attract her attention.
He plays the flute beautifully. (after the object)
He ate the chocolate cake greedily.

BE CAREFUL!

The adverb should not be put between the verb and the object:

Examples

He ate greedily the chocolate cake [incorrect]


He ate the chocolate cake greedily [correct]
Rule

If there is a preposition before the object, e.g. at, towards, we can place the adverb either before the preposition
or after the object.

Examples

The child ran happily towards his mother.


The child ran towards his mother happily.
Rule

Sometimes an adverb of manner is placed before a verb + object to add emphasis:

Examples
He gently woke the sleeping woman.
Some writers put an adverb of manner at the beginning of the sentence to catch our attention and make us
curious:

Examples

Slowly she picked up the knife.


Rule

(We want to know what happened slowly, who did it slowly, why they did it slowly)

However, adverbs should always come AFTER intransitive verbs (=verbs which have no object).

Examples

The town grew quickly


He waited patiently
Also, these common adverbs are almost always placed AFTER the verb:

well
badly
hard
fast
Rule
The position of the adverb is important when there is more than one verb in a sentence. If the adverb is placed
after a clause, then it modifies the whole action described by the clause.

Notice the difference in meaning between the following pairs of sentences:

She quickly agreed to re-type the letter (= her agreement was quick)
She agreed to re-type the letter quickly (= the re-typing was quick)
He quietly asked me to leave the house (= his request was quiet)
He asked me to leave the house quietly (= the leaving was quiet)
