00:13	this video , we're going to study . The president
00:15	continues tense . The structure of the present continuous is
00:19	formed with the subject , plus the verb to be
00:23	plus the verb with the I N G . For
00:26	example , I am eating . You are playing ,
00:30	He's singing , She's studying . It is traveling .
00:35	We are talking . You are shouting . They are
00:39	reading . The prison continues . Tense has different meanings
00:47	. It is used at the time of speaking .
00:50	We use the present continuous when we talk about something
00:54	happening at the time of speaking . For example ,
00:58	if you look at the picture , you can see
01:01	that the girl is writing on the board . Now
01:05	the teacher is looking at the girl . At the
01:07	moment , the present continuous tense is used to talk
01:14	about temporary situations we use . The present continues to
01:18	describe situations or actions which are in progress for a
01:23	limited period . For example , at school this week
01:29	we're studying the Egyptians . We also use the present
01:34	continues tends to talk about planned activities for future reference
01:40	we use the present continuous when we need to talk
01:43	about activities planned for the future . For example ,
01:48	we're spending our honeymoon in Greece . Not now .
01:52	It is our plan . We also use a present
01:57	continuous tense to talk about repeated actions we use .
02:02	A prison continues with certain adverbs , such as always
02:07	, constantly , repeatedly , etcetera . For example ,
02:12	my friend is always interrupting me When I study now
02:18	we're going to see some common expressions with the present
02:20	continuous , such as the moment now today , this
02:27	week I'm for future reference tomorrow next week . If
02:33	you look at the picture , we can use different
02:36	sentences with the president continues with different common expressions .
02:41	For example , she's writing a horse at the moment
02:45	. She's having a competition this week . She's going
02:49	to Paris next week . Do not use the present
02:54	. Continues with state verse because they describe a state
02:59	are not an action state . Verbs in English are
03:04	like Remember , want love , Forget , need ,
03:11	want , hate , understand , belong , prefer ,
03:18	believe etcetera . It is wrong to use a present
03:22	continuous in the following sentences . I am loving pizza
03:28	. You should say I love pizza . You should
03:31	use the simple present . Do not say I am
03:36	needing a friend . You should say I need a
03:40	friend . Do not say I am understanding the lesson
03:46	. You should use a simple president on say ,
03:49	I understand the lesson . We're not going to study
03:55	the affirmative form off the prison containing tense . It
03:59	is formed with a subject plus the verb Toby in
04:03	this case will be seen the full form plus the
04:06	verb with the I N . G . I will
04:09	read three examples . I am waiting . We are
04:14	reading . They are playing the affirmative form off .
04:22	The present continuous tense can be used with the verb
04:25	to be in its contracted form . The structure will
04:29	be the subject , plus the verb to be in
04:31	its contracted form , plus the verb with the I
04:34	N G . For example , I'm waiting . She's
04:38	reading . They're playing for the contracted form of the
04:43	verb to be . You need to write an apostrophe
04:48	for the negative form off the present continuous tense .
04:51	You need the verb Toby . Plus , not in
04:55	this video . We're going to see the full form
04:57	of the verb to be the subject , plus the
05:00	verve , Toby , plus not plus the verb with
05:03	the I N . G . for example , I
05:06	am not waiting . We are not reading . He
05:12	is not playing for the negative form of the president
05:18	. Continuous tense . We can also use the verb
05:20	to be in its contracted form For the personal problem
05:24	I The negative form is apostrophe m plus not for
05:30	example , I'm not waiting for you . We you
05:36	and they it's aren't you Aren't reading on for she
05:43	he eat it is isn't for example she isn't plane
05:52	. We're not going to see the interrogative form off
05:55	. The president continues tense for yes , no questions
05:59	. The structure of the interrogative form of years No
06:01	questions is the verb to be plus the subject plus
06:05	the verb with the I n g . For example
06:08	Um I reading Is she playing ? Are they dancing
06:17	? Short times is for Yes . No questions can
06:20	be affirmative or negative . Ah , five motive answers
06:24	are Are you reading ? Yes , I am .
06:28	Is he dancing ? Yes , he is . Are
06:32	they playing soccer ? Yes , they are . Remember
06:36	that for affirmative short answers . You should not use
06:40	the contracted form of the verb to be so you
06:43	should not say yes , I'm It's wrong to say
06:47	that Oh yes , he's or yes , there .
06:51	Whereas in the negative answers you can choose between the
06:54	full form or the contracted form off the verb to
06:58	be for example , Are you reading ? No ,
07:02	I am not . Or you can say no ,
07:06	I'm not . Is he dancing ? No , he
07:09	is not . Or no , he isn't . Are
07:14	they playing soccer ? No , they're not . Or
07:17	you can use the contracted form off the verb to
07:19	be No , they aren't . Remember that in English
07:25	. Questions can be divided into Yes , no questions
07:28	. As we have just seen on wh questions .
07:32	Wh questions Start with a wh word . Such as
07:36	What ? Why ? When how where etcetera The structure
07:42	off wh questions in the prison Continue stances The wh
07:47	word plus the verb to be plus the subject plus
07:51	the verb with the I N G . For example
07:54	What are you reading ? When is she playing ?
07:59	Where are we dancing ? We're not going to practice
08:05	answering some questions using the president . Continue stance .
08:08	I will ask the question and you think off the
08:11	answer . What are you doing right now ? Who
08:16	is always interrupting you when you speak ? What are
08:20	your neighbors doing toe their house ? Is that train
08:24	leaving at 4 p.m. Now we're going to see some
