El "Present Continuous" (Presente Continuo) lo utilizamos cuando
queremos hablar de acciones que están ocurriendo "ahora" o, en un tiempo
cercano a "ahora" o, que no han terminado.
Por ejemplo: Estoy comiendo (I'm eating) o, estoy leyendo un libro (I'm reading a book). En este último caso, te refieres a una acción inacabada, no a que estás leyendo el libro en el momento en que hablas.
Por ejemplo: Estoy comiendo (I'm eating) o, estoy leyendo un libro (I'm reading a book). En este último caso, te refieres a una acción inacabada, no a que estás leyendo el libro en el momento en que hablas.
| Estructura: Sujeto + "to be" en presente + el verbo principal acabado en "ing". |
Ejemplo 1: I am (I'm) working Yo estoy trabajando. Ejemplo 2: She is (She's)studying Ella está estudiando. Ejemplo 3. It is (It's) working . Está funcionando. Ejemplo 4: They are (They're) looking Ellos/Ellas están mirando.
2.- Reglas de Ortografia presente continuo.
1. Cuando un verbo termina en –e muda, esa –e desaparece y añadimos –ing al verbo.
Ejemplos: Argue > argu > arguing
2. Verbos acabados en –ie: la –i se convierte en –y, luego añadimos –ing al verbo.
Ejemplo: Die > dy > dying
3. Verbos monosílabos acabados en consonante + vocal + consonante doblan la última consonante.
Ejemplo: Stop > stopping
4. Verbos que acaben en –y añaden –ing sin que afecte a la ortografía del verbo.
Ejemplos: Play > playing / Study > studying
