PRESENT CONTINUOUS
EXERCISE 1
PERFECT ENGLISH GRAMMAR

Positive and Negative

Practise making the English present continuous (positive and negative forms)
here.

Remember, it's really important to know the verb forms inside out, so you can
make the tenses without thinking. If you know how to make the tenses really well,

you can concentrate only on choosing when to use them, which is more difficult.
These exercises will help to make the verb forms automatic.
