Present Continuous (ing-vorm)

(onvoltooid tegenwoordige tijd)

Om de present continuous te maken heb je altijd 2 werkwoorden nodig. Namelijk een vervoeging van to be + werkwoord met -ing erachter

Wanneer gebruik je de PC?

1. Als een persoon/ding/dier iets 'nu' aan het doen is. 

I am eating a Snickers bar right now. 

2. Als iets is gestart in het verleden en het nog niet is afgelopen.

Job is studying to become a doctor. 

3. Als iets (zeker) gebeurt in de nabije toekomst.

I am meeting John this afternoon.

Signaalwoorden PC:

Right now, now, at the moment, currently, at present, as we speak

Om de present continuous te maken gebruik je altijd een vorm van 'to be' (am/are/is) + werkwoord + ing 

Persoonlijk voornaamwoord	Vorm van 'to be'	Werkwoord+ing

he/she/it	is	drink ing
