The Present Progressive We use the Present Progressive to talk about things that are going on right now, at the moment of speaking. We use the verb be (am , is or are) and add -ing to the base form of the verb (V).
Remember! The Present Progressive has two parts. We need both parts (am/is/are + Ving) to say something in the Present Progressive. Spelling with –ing In verbs that end in e, we drop the e and add -ing. For example: shine → shining / The sun is shining.
In short verbs (one syllable verbs) that end in consonant- one vowel- consonant combinations, we double the last consonant and add -ing. We don't double the letters w, x, y. For example: run → running / Moby is running.
sit → sitting / I am sitting.
Reading and Writing You can write the letter a in two ways: a or a. |
