In English temporary forms more than in Russian, so the study of another's speech is so difficult for our fellow citizens.The great and mighty is no such thing as a present kontinius, in other words - a real long time.But do not be scared.If it is good to understand this question, then no difficulty will arise.Features
use
Present Continuous is sometimes difficult to distinguish from the Present Simple.Both describe the present tense forms, but Present Simple is used when it comes to repetitive actions and kontinius - those that occur in a minute.
important to remember the difference in cases where it is necessary to describe a few incidents at the same time.It put the verb in the present simple time, if actions follow one another.But if events occur simultaneously, the aid comes now long.
One more important thing for the actions that are either planned or are present in the schedule.When the interviewee expressed the intention to do something, he uses the verb form Present Continuous, if the event is indicated in the schedule, then talk about it in the Present Simple.
This small comparison allows better orientation in these two times.
English Present kontinius has significant difference that distinguishes it from other forms of the verb.
It is used in the case if it is necessary to describe events that happen at the moment of speech.A striking example: Tom is doing exercise now (Tom is now engaged in sports).
Present kontinius use in the description of this action, which takes place not at the moment, but at the still continuing period of time.Here's an example: He is working on the program (It works on the program).The point is that he is not doing it at a particular moment, and during this period, which lasts and will soon be over.
The same time form used when described the planned action, which will happen soon.An example is the following sentence: We are arriving on Friday (we are going to arrive or arrive Friday).
Another option consumption Present Continuous - to indicate the repeated actions that irritate or cause disapproval of the speaker.The catalysts can serve as an adverb constantly, always, repeatedly, which in this case translates as "forever."A good example: You are constantly shouting at us (You're always yelling at us).
formation rules
To formulate proposals to the Present kontinius, you must use the verb "to be" in the appropriate form, which depends on the noun or pronoun.That's him in negative sentences will be added to the particle "not".
Verbs in Present kontinius get the ending -ing.In most cases, this flexion puts the word without changing it (say - saying).But if at the end of the infinitive is a silent "e", it should be omitted (make - making).In the case where the verb ends with a combination of short vowel with a consonant, the exception is "x", the last letter is doubled (begin - beginning).Words that are completed on -ie, changing its connection -y + ing (lie - lying).
There is a list of expressions that can serve as an indication of the Present Continuous.It's like today, at the moment, this week, now other.
There are a number of words that are not used in a given time.This so-called state verbs that transmit sensations and feelings.They also will not take part in the formation of a temporary form as the Present Perfect kontinius.Here are some of the verbs state:
