Present Continuous Tense Guide

The document explains how to use the present continuous tense in English. It is used to talk about actions that are happening now or ongoing. The present continuous is formed using the verb "to be" plus the main verb ending in "-ing". For verbs ending in a consonant-vowel-consonant, the final consonant is doubled before adding "-ing". Examples of the affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms are provided for singular and plural subjects in the first, second, and third person.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

We use the present continuous tense to talk about what somebody is doing now, or about
something that is in progress at the moment. We use to be as an auxiliary verb and we
add -ing at the end of the main verb. Remember to double the final consonant before
you add -ing after a verb, if the last syllable is stressed (it sounds stronger) and the verb
ends in consonant+vowel+consonant (run running, but open opening): cvc.
