Present Continuous Tense

Present Continuous Tense (Sadašnje trajno vrijeme) se gradi od glagola to be u Present Simple Tense-u
(Prostom sadašnjem vremenu), tj. am/is/are + Present Participle (sadašnji particip) glavnog glagola.

Sadašnji particip se gradi kada se na infinitiv doda nastavak –ing:

 go – going
 sleep – sleeping
 work – working
 walk - walking

Ako se glagol završava na jedan suglasnik ispred kojeg stoji kratki, naglašeni samoglasnik, krajnji se suglasnik
ispred –ing udvostručava:

 hit (udariti) – particip: hitting

 stop (prestati) – particip: stopping
 permit (dopustiti) – particip: permitting
 begin (početi) – particip: beginning
 cut (sjeći) – particip; cutting

Krajnje –l se uvek udvostručava:

 travel (putovati) – particip: travelling

 spell (slovkati) – particip; spelling

Ukoliko se glagol završava na –e, to -e se gubi i dodaje se nastavak –ing:

 come – coming
 make – making
 take – taking
 bake – baking

Ukoliko se glagoli završavaju na –ie, nastavak -ie prelazi u y i dodaje se nastavak – ing:

 die – dying
 lie – lying
 tie – tying
