Группа длительных форм (Continuous)

Группа Continuous имеет три времени: настоящее (Present Con­tinuous), прошедшее (Past Continuous) и будущее (Future Continuous).

Все формы Continuous образуются при помощи вспомогательно­го глагола to be в соответствующем времени (настоящем, прошед­шем или будущем) и смыслового глагола с окончанием -ing.

1. Present Continuous

Present Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в настоящем времени и смыслового глагола с окончанием -ing.

Формы глагола в Present Continuous

Число	Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
Ед.	I am asking. You are asking. He (she, it) is asking.	Am I asking? Are you asking? Is he (she, it) asking?	I am not asking. You are not asking. He (she, it) is not asking.
Мн.	We (you, they) are asking.	Are we (you, they) asking?	We (you, they) are not asking.

Present Сontinuous употребляется для выражения конкретного действия, длящегося в настоящий момент или период. Указание на время типа now (сейчас), at the moment (в данный момент) может быть либо выражено, либо подразумеваться. E. g. Не is reading a book (now, at this moment).

С глаголами, которые обозначают не действие, а состояние Present Continuous обычно не употребляется: to feel (чувствовать), to be (быть, находиться), to live (жить), to stay (оставаться), to hear (слышать), to see (видеть), to know (знать), to remember (помнить), to think (думать), to want (хотеть), to like (любить, нравиться), to love (любить) и др.

2. Past Continuous

Past Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного гла­гола to be в прошедшем времени и смыс­лового глагола с окончанием -ing.

Формы глагола в Past Continuous

Число	Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
Ед.	I (he, she, it) was asking. You were asking.	Was I (he, she, it) asking? Were you asking?	I (he, she, it) was not asking. You were not asking.
Мн.	We (you, they) were asking.	Were we (you, they) asking?	We (you, they) were not asking.

Past Continuous обычно употребляется для выражения конкрет­ного действия, длившегося в точно указанный момент или период в прошлом. E. g. When I entered the room he was reading a book. At three o'clock yesterday I was reading a book.

3. Future Continuous

Future Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в будущем времени (см. Future indefinite) и смыслового глагола с окончанием -ing.

Формы глагола в Future Continuous

Число	Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
Ед.	I shall be asking. You (he, she, it) will be asking.	Shall I be asking? Will you (he, she, it) be asking?	I shall not be asking. You (he, she, it) will not be asking.
Мн.	We shall be ask­ing. You (they) will be asking.	Shall we be asking? Will you (they) be asking?	We shall not be asking. You (they) will not be asking.

Future Continuous употребляется для выражения конкретного действия, которое, как мы ожидаем, будет длиться в точно указан­ный момент или период в будущем. E. g. Не will be reading an English book when I return home.

В придаточных предложениях времени и условия для выражения будущих дей­ствий употребляется Present Continuous, а не Future Continuous (см. Future Indefinite). E.g. When (if) you are packing our things I'll be making arrangements about the tickets over the telephone.
