Goals

I know when to use the Present Continuous

 I can use the Present Continuous correctly

Present Continuous

To form the Present Continuous:      verb  to be   +   main verb [+ ing]

  

I                            am  doing      /          am   swimming 

you                     are doing      /           are   swimming 

he, she, it         is    doing      /           is      swimming 

we                      are doing      /           are   swimming 

they                   are doing     /           are   swimming 

Sometimes the spelling of a main verb changes: swim --> swimMing

Present Continuous

You use the present continuous 

• to say that something is happening right now.

I am buying clothes at H&M (--> right now, you're in the shop) vs. I always/never buy clothes at H&M (--> it's a habit; Present . Simple)
