Present Progressive Tense

☺ Used for actions happening right now, at the moment of speaking.
Ex: I am teaching an English lesson right now / My mother is cooking a cake at this moment
Please note the time expressions: at the moment / right now / now

☺ Also used to talk about something that is happening in a very close future (plans)
Ex: We are visiting the doctor tomorrow
Please note the time expressions: tomorrow / at / after

What about structure?

+ We form Present Progressive as follows: Subject + Auxiliar To Be + Verb + ing + complement
Ex: Raúl is evaluating the students now / Sandra and Omar are planning the next class
- Negative structures: place the negation after auxiliar To be: Raul is not evaluating the students now.
? Interrogative structures: Place the auxiliar To Be at the beginning of the sentence: Are Sandra and Omar planning
the next class?
How to form the -ING?
1. Verbs ending in “e”: remove “e” and add “ing” Ex: dance = dancing / move = moving.
2. One syllable verb ending in consonant-vowel-consonant: double the last consonant and add “ing”. Ex: cut = cutting
get = getting / plan = planning / swim = swimming. Exception: verbs ending in y, x, w.
3. Two or more syllabel verbs ending in consonant-vowel-consonant: double final consonant and add “ing” only if final
syllable is stressed. Ex: begin = beginning / admit = admitting / regret = regretting.
4. Verbs ending in “ie”: change “ie” to “Y” and add “ing” Ex: lie = lying / die = dying / tie = tying
5. All of the rest verbs, just add “ing” Ex: go = going / play = playing / study = studying / eat = eating / rest = resting

Family Celebration in Ecuador

Hello this is Jack reporting from the Annual Family Celebration in Quito, Ecuador. People are having a wonderful time. Most men are
cooking a traditional dish called Fanesca. Some women are playing hide-and-seek with their children. The elderly are listening to old
music and telling stories from the past. I am here with Mario Velasco, the event organizer, and I want to ask
him a couple of questions:
Reporter: Mario, how long is the event?
Mario: Well, it started yesterday at 7 am and it’ll finish tomorrow at 9 pm with a concert.
Reporter: Is this event meaningful for Ecuadorian families?
Mario: Yes, absolutely. Just look at the people. They are laughing, dancing or just relaxing.
Reporter: Thank Mario for your time and for the event.
That is all for now. I am Jack Baker. Bye-bye.
