 Present Continuous

El presente continuo es el tiempo verbal que empleamos para expresar

acciones que se realizan en el momento en que se mencionan.

La principal característica de este tiempo verbal es el uso del "-ing", que en

español puede traducirse como "-ando" y "-endo".

En este tiempo, el verbo to be se convierte en verbo auxiliar y el "-ing", se conjuga

con el verbo principal de la acción.
