WHAT IS IT?

E' un tempo verbale (verb tense)

WHEN DO WE USE IT?

Si usa per descrivere: - azioni in corso nel momento in cui si parla (spesso accompagnato da espressioni come "now", "at the moment") - azioni future già programmate

+ info

Forma affermativa

AUSILIARE

SOGGETTO

VERBO ESSERE (AL PRESENT SIMPLE)

VERBO PRINCIPALE + -ing

AM / ARE / IS

forma affermativa

EXAMPLES :

You are sleeping. Jimmy is wearing a blue jacket. Nancy and Stephany are dancing in the living-room. She's going to the supermarket. My dad is cooking dinner tonight. I'm listening to music in my room.

ATTENTION

NON DIMENTICARE IL VERBO ESSERE!!! Può succedere di aggiungere solo -ing (senza am/is/are). E' un errore molto comune ma, ora che lo sai, puoi facilmente evitarlo!

ALWAYS CHECK

Sarah eating lunch. Sarah is eating lunch.

VERBI CHE TERMINANO IN -E PERDONO LA -E BAKE BAKING

VARIAZIONI ORTOGRAFICHE

VERBI CHE TERMINANO IN CONSONANTE RADDOPPIANO LA CONSONANTE PRIMA DI AGGIUNGERE -ING FORGET FORGETTING

EXAMPLES :

(MAKE) She is making a cake. (PLAY) John is playing tennis. (SIT) My sisters are sitting on the bench. (STOP) I am stopping the traffic. (BUY) Paul is buying a pair of shoes. (TAKE) They are taking a taxi.

Forma negativa

il NOT si inserisce tra il verbo essere (ausiliare) e il verbo principale.

NOT

VERBO ESSERE (AL PRESENT SIMPLE)

AUSILIARE

VERBO PRINCIPALE + -ing

SOGGETTO

ARE + NOT > AREN'T IS + NOT > ISN'T

Alla forma contratta il NOT si "fonde" con il verbo essere (tranne alla prima persona singolare) > I'm not

EXAMPLES :

She isn't calling our mum. We aren't writing on the book. Francesco is not talking to me. The horses aren't running in the field. I'm not painting a picture. You are not cleaning the table.

Forma interrogativa

il VERBO ESSERE (ausiliare) si sposta all'inizio della frase.

Le risposte brevi si formano con il verbo be (ausiliare) alla forma affermativa o negativa. Non dimenticare la virgola dopo YES/NO

EXAMPLES :

Are we going home? Yes, we are. Is the teacher writing? No, she isn't. Are the kids singing? Yes, they are. Am I bothering you? No, you aren't. Is your cat hiding? Yes, it is.
