Question

we are traveling to shimla next year. (mention the tense) ​

Answer 1

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \sf{ \purple{Required \: answer}}}}$

Sentence given:

We are traveling to Shimla next year.

The tense can be determined by looking at the form of verb i.e are + (verb + ing) here, Hence it is present continuous tense which denotes an actions going on at the present moment or an action to be continued in near future.

Grammar bites:

The tense present continuous is also known as present progressive tense. It is used in denoting actions as I have mentioned above.

The form for Present continuous tense is:

$\large{ \boxed{ \sf{Subject + am \: or\: are + Verb(ing)}}}$

Some examples are:

• I am reading a book.
• You/They/We are reading a book.
• He/She is reading a book.

Similarly it is used for actions in near future and usually we use going to for denoting the action. But we should keep in mind that some verbs are not normally used in the continous tense like: Verbs of perceptions (See, hear....), Verbs of emotions, Have etc.

First of all let's start with Present continuous tense-

The pattern is -
