THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

Present Continuousобразуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to beв настоящем времени (am, is, are) и формы причастия настоящего времени смыслового глагола: I am working, he is working, we are working.

Утвердительная форма	Отрицательная форма	Вопросительная форма
I am (I’m) working You are (you’re) working He is (he’s) working She is (she’s) working It is (it’s) working We are (we’re) working You are (you’re) working They are (they’re) working	I am not (I’m not) working You are not (aren’t) working He is not (isn’t) working She is not (isn’t) working It is not (isn’t) working We are not (aren’t) working You are not (aren’t) working They are not (aren’t) working	Am I working? Are you working? Is he working? Is she working? Is it working? Are we working? Are you working Are they working?

СЛУЧАИ УПОТРЕБЛЕНИЯ:

1. Длительное действие, совершающееся в момент речи.

He is reading a book now. Он читает книгу (сейчас).

Don’t make any noise, they are sleeping.Не шумите, они спят.

2. Длительное действие, происходящее в настоящее время, хотя и не обязательно в момент

речи.

He is writinga new play. Он пишет новую пьесу.

Примечание: Следует иметь в виду, что глаголы, выражающие чувства, восприятия и умственную деятельность, обычно не употребляются в формах Continuous.Среди этих глаголов: to hear, to want, to like, to love, to hate, to know, to remember, to forget,

to understand, tobelieve, to belong, to seem, to mean и др. Эти глаголы следует употреблять в Present Simple,даже если действие совершается в момент речи.

В формах Continuous также не употребляются глаголы “to be”быть и “to have”иметь (в значении владеть, обладать). Однако, когда глагол to haveупотребляется в сочетании с некоторыми существительными, он утрачивает свое основное значение иметь, обладать и может употребляться в Present Continuous для обозначения действия, происходящего в момент речи.

I havetwo cars at present. BUT She is having a bath now.

What are you thinking about? О чем ты думаешь? (думать, рассматривать)

To think

What doyouthinkabout this book? Что ты думаешь об этой книге? (иметь
