Present Continuous: When to use?

De Present Continuous gebruik je: als je wilt zeggen dat iets bezig is op het moment dat je erover praat/schrijft.

Example:

I am listening to music right now.

He is walking to the shops at the moment.

Present Continuous: How to use?

Vorm van 'to be' + ww-ing:

I am listening right now.

you/we/they are listening right now.

he/she/it is listening right now.

Present Continuous: How to use?

Negative (-): 'to be' + not + ww-ing

I am not listening right now.

Questions (?): 'to be' + onderwerp + ww-ing 

Is he listening right now?

Uitzonderingen

Bij sommige werkwoorden voeg je niet zomaar '-ing' toe:

live --> living (haal eerst de -e weg)

lie --> lying (vervang eerst -ie door -y)

get --> getting (verdubbel eerst de -t)

travel --> travelling (verdubbel eerst de -l)
