PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

El presente progresivo se forma combinando el verbo to be,

 con el ing.

Ejm:

I am working. 

(yo estoy trabajando)

ING FORM AS ADJECTIVES, SUBJECTS AND OBJECTS

Algunos adjetivos tienen la característica de que termine en "ed" y "ing"

• We use adjectives ending in “ING” to describe something or someone.

Examples:
Luisa  is watching a very interesting movie.

I hate that teacher. He is really boring.

• We use adjectives ending in “ED” when we want to describe how people feel.

Examples:

This movie isn’t interesting. I am bored.
Luis is very exited because he is going to travel to Miami for the first time.

– We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.
– We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.

We can say:

Felipe is boring. (describes his personality).

Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)

PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOS


The present perfect progressive expresses an action that recently stopped or is still going on. It puts emphasis on the duration or course of the action.

El "present perfect continuous" está compuesto por dos elementos: el "present perfect" del verbo 'to be' (have/has been) y el "present participle" del verbo principal (raíz+ing)



affirmative form:  I have been studying.

                           she has been dancing.

negative form: I have not been studying.
                        
                        She has not been dancing.

interrogative form: have I been studying?

                          has she been studying?



TAQ QUESTIONS WITH BE IN DIFFERENT

                                TENSES

A tag question is a short question added to the end of a positive or negative statement.

For example:-

He is,	isn't he?
He does,	doesn't he?
He will,	won't he?
He can,	can't he?

How do you form a tag question?

Normally a positive statement is followed by a negative tag, and a negative statement is followed by a positive tag.

For example:-

+	-
You're English,	aren't you?
-	+
You're not German,	are you?

 The statement and the tag are always separated by a comma.

 Treat any statements with nothing, nobody etc like negative statements.

The verb in the statement should be the same tense as the verb in the tag.

For example:-

Present tense	| present tense
You are a good singer,	aren't you?
Past tense	| past tense
You didn't go to work yesterday,	did you?
Present perfect tense	| present perfect tense
You have been to London,	haven't you?

If the verb used in the statement is an auxiliary verb, then the verb used in the tag must match it. If a modal (can, could, will, should, etc.) is used in the statement, then the same modal is used in the tag part. If the statement doesn't use an auxiliary verb, then the auxiliary do is used in the tag part.

For example:-

Auxiliary verb
She is from England,	isn't she?
They aren't very nice,	are they?
She doesn't like it here,	does she?
Modal verb
You can sing,	can't you?
They shouldn't do that,	should they?
No auxiliary
He eats meat,	doesn't he?	(He does eat meat...)
He had a bath,	didn't he?	(He did have a bath...)
Nothing happened,	did it?	(Nothing did happen...)
