Inglés III, (Lunes, 29/9/14)

Ayer estudiamos la forma y el uso del Present Continuous y lo comparamos con el Present Simple de la semana pasada.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Affirmative (Suj + verb to be + verb+ing) - Pincha el enlace si no sabes conjugar el verbo to be

I am working

You are working

He is working

She is working

It is working

We are working

You are working

They are working

Negative (Suje + verb to be + not + verb+ing) - Recuerda que el verbo to be en negativa suele aparecer contraído.

I'm not working

You aren't working

He isn't working

She isn't working

It isn't working

We aren't working

You aren't working

They aren't working

Interrogative (Verbo to be + suj + verb+ing)

Am I working?

Are you working?

Is he working?

Is she working?

Is it working?

Are we working?

Are you working?

Are they working?

• Uso del Present Continuous: usamos este tiempo para expresar acciones que están ocurriendo ahora mismo.
• Expresiones de tiempo que acompañan al Present Continuous.

- Now (ahora)

- Right now (ahora mismo)

- At the moment (en este moment)

Ej. Sarah is cooking dinner now // They are watching TV right now // We are havingbreakfast at the moment

* Cómo añadir -ing a los verbos:

1. La mayoría de los verbos añaden -ing sin que se observen cambios, (incluidos todos los verbos que acaban en -y). watch-watching // buy-buying // study-studying
2. Los verbos que acaban en -e, quitan la -e y añaden -ing. Have-having // dance-dancing
3. Los verbos que acaban en consonante+vocal+consonante, al añadir -ing, doblan la última consonante. Sit-sitting // swim-swimming // Clip-clipping
4. Los verbos acabados en -ie, cambian -ie por -y y añaden -ing. Die-dying//lie-lying
