Present Continuous for 5th Grade students

Present Continuous

In Present continuous you have to use the verb "to be" with the action verb, adding an -ing suffix to the end of the action.

We use Present Continuous when we're talking about something happening NOW.

For example:

Ell està jugant a futbol -> He is playing football
Ell no està jugant a futbol. -> He isn't playing football
Ell està jugant a futbol? -> Is he playing football?

Use:

• am with the personal pronoun I
• is with the personal pronouns he, she or it (or the singular form of nouns)
• are with the personal pronouns you, we, they (or the plural form of nouns)

Pronoun	Affirmative	Negative	Interrogative
I	I am playing.	I am not playing.	Am I playing?
he, she, it	He is playing.	He isn't playing.	Is he playing?
you, we, they	You are playing.	You aren't playing.	Are you playing?

Notice that you can use "is not" or "isn't" and "are not" or "aren't". It's the same thing.
Present Continuous is also called "Present Progressive".
