O Present Continuous Tense é formado pelo presente do verbo to be (am, is, are), seguido por um verbo acrescido da

terminação –ing. Este tempo verbal expressa uma ação que está ocorrendo agora.

Observe> Now, we are studying. (Agora, estamos estudando.)



Gerund

Forma-se o gerúndio, em inglês, acrescentando a terminação –ing ao verbo.

play + ing =playing (jogando);

Os verbos terminados em e perdem o e: dance + ing =dancing (dançando);

Verbos que terminam com CVC (consoante + vogal + consoante) dobram a consoante final: run + ing =running

(correndo).
