Explanation:

The Cambridge Dictionary defines the ‘present continuous tense’ as “the verb form used for actions or events that are happening or developing now.” According to the Collins Dictionary, the present continuous tense is defined as “a verb form consisting of an auxiliary be in the present tense followed by a present participle and used especially to indicate that a present action or event is in progress, being repeated, or of a temporary nature or to express the future.” The present continuous tense is “the tense used to talk about actions or behaviour that are in progress now or planned for the future”, according to the Macmillan Dictionary.

Structure of the Present Continuous Tense

There is definitely just one formula to mastering the present continuous tense and this is how it goes.

Subject + am/is/are + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence

However, there is something more you should pay attention to. You should also learn how the sentences with the present continuous tense form of the verb are structured when they are positive, negative, interrogative and negative interrogative.

Have a look at the table given below to have a deeper understanding of the structure of the present continuous tense.

Structure of the Present Continuous Tense

Positive Negative Interrogative Negative Interrogative

Subject + am/is/are + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence Subject + am/is/are + not + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence Am/is/are + subject + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence Isn’t/aren’t + subject + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence

(Or)

Am/is/are + subject + not + present participle (verb+ing) + the rest of the sentence

Examples:

I am reading a newspaper.

You are doing it wrong.

He is playing tennis.

Examples:

I am not reading a newspaper.

You are not doing it wrong.

He is not playing tennis.

Examples:

Am I reading a newspaper?

Are you doing it wrong?

Is he playing tennis?

Examples:

Am I not reading a newspaper?

Are you not doing it wrong? / Aren’t you doing it wrong?

Is he not playing tennis? / Isn’t he playing tennis?

Rules and Points to Remember When Using the Present Continuous Tense

When using the present continuous tense, make sure you follow the sentence structure exactly.

Always start with the subject when it is a positive or negative sentence and with the helping verb when it is in the interrogative format.

A sentence with the present continuous tense consists of a helping verb (‘to be’ form of verbs) and a main verb. The helping verbs can be ‘am’ for the pronoun ‘I’, ‘is’ for singular subject and ‘are’ for a plural subject.

Just note that like the other pronouns, the pronoun ‘am’ cannot be used in the negative form in an interrogative sentence. Instead of ‘amn’t’, ‘aren’t’ is used.

For example:

Amn’t I reading a newspaper? Wrong

Aren’t I reading a newspaper? Correct

The present continuous tense can never be used with stative verbs.
