Present Progressive / Continuous
Present continuous, juga disebut present
progressive atau present imperfect, adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan
dalam bahasa Inggris yang menggabungkan present simple dengan aspek continuous
dan untuk mengekspresikan situasi yang sedang berlangsung saat ini (sebelum,
selama dan setelah saat berbicara).
The present continuous (sometimes called the
present progressive) tense in English is really easy to make and is the same
for all verbs. We make it using the Present Simple of "be" + verb ing :
Present continuous, dalam bentuk afirmatif memiliki struktur sebagai
berikut:
Subject + to be + [verb + -ing] + …

Questions are also really, really easy. Just like
we made the question with 'be' in the Present Simple here we also put 'am', 'is', or 'are' before the subject to
make a 'yes / no' question:
|
Yes / No Questions |
|
am I eating banana ? |
|
are you
studying now ? |
|
is she
working ? |
|
is he doing his homework ? |
|
is it
raining ? |
|
are we
meeting at six ? |
|
are they
coming ? |
For 'wh' questions, just put the
question word at the front:
|
Wh Questions |
|
Why am I eating banana ? |
|
What are you studying now
? |
|
When is she working ? |
|
What is she doing ? |
|
Why is it raining ? |
|
Who are we meeting ? |
|
How are they travelling ? |
