Afirmaes
As afirmaes no Present Continuous utilizam o verbo TO
BE e o gerndio do verbo principal. Exemplos:
- I am writing (eu estou escrevendo)
- She is sleeping (ela est dormindo)
Os gerndios dos verbos no Ingls so constitudos da
partcula "ING" no final, seguindo algumas regras:
- Verbos com uma slaba, terminados
com VOGAL+CONSOANTE , dobram a ltima consoante e
depois adiciona-se oING: stop = stopping , cut = cutting.
- Verbos disslabos terminados em VOGAL+CONSOANTE,
e que a slaba tnica seja a ltima, dobra-se a ltima
consoante e adiciona-se o ING. Exemplos: prefer =
preferring , begin = beginning . Se a primeira slaba for
a tnica, apenas adicione o ING no final: enter = entering.
- Verbos terminados com E perdem o E e ganham ING:
write = writing. Os terminados em EE no perdem nada e
s ganham o ING: agree = agreeing
- Verbos terminados com VOGAL+L , dobram o L e
ganham ING: travel = travelling (no ingls britnico, pois
no americano existem algumas excees)
- Verbos terminados em IE perdem o IE e
ganham Y+ING: lie = lying , die = dying

Para transformar uma frase afirmativa do present
continuous em interrogativa, basta trocar o sujeito e o
verbo TO BE de posio (e coloca-se o "?" claro!).
