Present Continuous Tense (Настоящее продолженное время)
Образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола – to be – в настоящем времени и причастия настоящего времени (Present Participle = Participle I) основного глагола.
I am asking We
You are asking You are asking
He, she, it is asking They
В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим, а причастие настоящего времени основного глагола – после подлежащего.
Am I Are we
Are you asking? Are you asking?
Is he/she/it Are they
Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи частицы - not -, которая ставится между вспомогательным и основным глаголом.
I am not ( ’m not) We are not (aren’t)
You are not (aren’t) asking You are not (aren’t) asking
He, she, it is not (isn’t) They are not (aren’t)
Present Continuous описывает действия или состояние, длящееся в момент речи или в настоящий период времени. Этим данное время отличается от Present Simple, выражающее действие или состояние как обычное или характерное для субъекта.
Present Continuous употребляется:
для выражения действия, совершающегося в момент речи:
Please don’t make such noise. I’m studying.
Указателями времени являются: - now
right now, just now
at the moment
для выражения действия или состояния, длящегося в течение настоящего периода времени, но не обязательно относящегося к моменту речи:
Have you heard about Nick? He is building his own house.
для описания изменяющейся ситуации:
The population of the world is rising very fast.
для выражения действий, намеченных на ближайшее будущее (при этом часто употребляются глаголы to come, to leave, to stay, to call и выражения to have guests /a party/ a holiday; to give a party / a presentation
When are you coming to see us?
So you are leaving for Moscow on Saturday, aren’t you?
для выражения постоянной привычки или наклонности; в этом случае глагол сопровождается наречиями always, constantly, all the time … и выражает неодобрение, нетерпение:
You are always coming late!
He is constantly getting into trouble.
Формы Continuous Tenses употребляются преимущественно с глаголами, обозначающими действия. Глаголы, обозначающие состояния, чувства, желания, мысли, как правило, в формах длительных времён не употребляются.
К числу таких глаголов относятся:
- глаголы общего значения: to be, to have, to possess, to belong, to consist, to result, to depend;
- глаголы желания и волеизъявления: to want, to desire, to wish, to mind, to refuse, to forgive;
- глаголы чувственного восприятия и мышления: a) to see, to hear, to feel, to notice, to smell, to taste; b) to love, to like, to hate, to prefer, to care; c) to agree, to believe, to doubt, to remember, to forget, to know, to suppose, to realize, to mean, to think.
