Workshop 2:
Present Continuous

The present continuous is made from the present tense of the verb be and the –ing form
of a verb:
 I am working

You are playing

He is talking

She is living

It is eating

We are staying

They are sleeping

We use the present continuous to talk about:

● Activities at the moment of speaking:

I'm just leaving work. I'll be home in an hour.

● Future plans or arrangements:

What are you doing next week?

● Present continuous questions:

We make questions by putting am, is or are in front of the subject:

Are you listening?

Are they coming to your party?

When is she going home?

What am I doing here?

A. Read the following text and underline the sentences in the present
continuous tense. The first has already been underlined as an example.

1- This year our school, Edinburgh Castle School, is taking part in the program "let's
save Nature". This program tries to help both animals and plants in our countryside,
beaches and mountains.

2- Animals and plants are disappearing because we are not taking care of them. We
are throwing our rubbish in the sea, on the streets and in the country. The animals are
getting trapped in the plastic bags, or getting ill because they eat plastic wrappers.
Plants are dying because we are throwing chemicals and rubbish in the forests.Forest
fires are also killing thousands of animals and plants.

3-0ur school is now helping. We are collecting rubbish from the beaches in our city
and telling people not to throw anything on them. We are also collecting used batteries
and other dangerous materials. And you? What are you doing to help animals and
plants? Are you fittering the beaches and the country or are you putting your rubbish in
the correct place? Please,help animals,don't litter.
