    UPOTREBA: Kada koristimo Present Continuous Tense?

    (1)

    The Present Continuous (Progressive) Tense koristimo da opišemo radnje koje


    radimo u trenutku govora, to jest one se dešavaju SADA (NOW) baš kada o njima
    pričamo/govorimo.

    Priloške fraze koje koristimo u ovom vremenu a koje nam govore da se radnja dešava
    sada su:

    Now At the moment In this picture Be quiet!

    Listen! Look! Be careful! Shhh!

    Primeri:

    I am eating an apple now.

    She is watching TV at the moment.

    Look! The boys are playing football.

    Listen! The girl is playing the piano.

    Shh! The baby is sleeping.

    Be quiet! I am talking.

    In this picture, I’m wearing a beautiful hat and my mum is wearing sunglasses.

    Present Continuous = AROUND NOW

    Present Continuous (trajni prezent) upotrebljava se i za sadašnju radnju koja


    zahteva kraći ili duži vremenski period u nekoj sadašnjosti to jest koja nije trenutni
    trenutak govora nego neki kraći ili duzi vremenski period u sadašnjosti pa se zato
    kaže – around now.

    Primeri:

     He is writing another novel now.

    (naravno da on ne može da napiše jedan roman sada u trenutku govora nego mu treba malo duže
    vremena ali je now neki sadašnji trenutak u njegovom životu)

     He plays for Partizan but this season he is playing for Red Star.

    (on je fudbaler Partizana ali samo ove sezone on igra za Crvenu Zvezdu – ova sezona je duži vremenski
    period u sadašnjosti, to jest u njegovom sadašnjem životu)

     I am studying Biology.

    (naravno da to nije u trenutku govora već neki duzi period u široj sadasnjosti zatošsto gledajući na ceo
    naš život mi studiramo samo jedan određeni period u našem životu - 2 do 4 godine).

     I am wearing a dress today.

    (ovo je samo danas/inače ne nosim haljine)

     This month/This year I’m leaving in Paris.

    (ja živim u Beogradu ali firma me je poslala poslovno u Pariz na mesec dana ili na godiu dana i ja živim
    tamo samo određeni kraći ili duži period i posle se vraćam u Beograd, znači to je samo privremeno u
    nekom mom sadašnjem životu).

    Sa ovom upotrebom najčešće koristimo fraze:

    (a) today
    (b) this month, this year, this season, this week...(sve sa this);
    (c) now – može, ali u širem kontekstu (to jest misli se ne samo na now u trenutku
    govora nego obuhvata malo duži vremenski period)
    (3)

    Present Continuous for FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS

    Present Continuous (Progressive) koristimo i da opišemo neke buduće


    radnje to jest kada govorimo o tome šta smo se sa nekim dogovorili da
    ćemo raditi u budućnosti – na primer: izlasci, putovanja, zakazani pregledi
    kod zubara/lekara – jednom rečju, na engleskom se to kaže da opiše naše

    future arrangements

    ili

    (social arrangements in the future)


    /društveni dogovori vezani za budućnost/

     I’m seeing Mark tonight.


     She is travelling next Monday.
     I’m having an appointment at the dentist’s this evening.
