Talking about the now and the near future

How do you talk about things that are happening now?

How do you talk about things that are happening now?

Subject + am + -ing form (present continuous)

                     are

                      is

Tip: you use this form (the present continuous) when you use “aan het” in Dutch

• Ik ben aan het dansen
  
• I am dancing
  

You can talk about the future by using “going to”

You use “going to” when the future is unsure and "will" is

spontaneous.

Subject + am + going to + verb

                    are

                     is

For example: We are going to play a game

Let’s practice!

I will give you 2 pictures. Please describe what is happening in these pictures with as many sentences as you can.

  

Write down sentences about what is happening in these pictures (using present continuous)

Feel free to look up the medical words (or ask me)
