Present continuous
tense
a. Pengertian
Present continuous tense atau present
progressive tense adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk
menyatakan aksi yang sedang berlangsung sekarang (present) atau rencana di masa
depan (future).
b. Rumus
Present continuous tense dibentuk
dengan auxiliary verb
“be”,
berupa is/am/are – karena present tense (waktu sekarang),
dan present participle (-ing).Is digunakan
pada subject berupa singular noun (seperti:
Tita, book) dan third person singular pronoun (seperti: she,
he, it); are pada plural noun (seperti: boys,
men, books), plural pronoun (seperti: we, they) dan you;
sementara am pada I.Umumnya tense ini
hanya terjadi pada aksi berupa dynamic atau
action verb,
tidak stative verb. Mengapa begitu? karena secara umum
hanya dynamic verb yang memiliki bentuk continuous.
