Present Continuous – Nachhilfe Englisch Wien

Was ist das Present Continuous (Progressive)?

Das Present Continuous ist eine Zeitform in der englischen Sprache, die du verwendest über die Gegenwart zu sprechen, die zum Sprachzeitpunkt, abläuft. Das ist eine Handlung, die jetzt / in diesem Moment stattfindet.

Die Present-Continuous-Form besteht aus zwei Wörtern

Das Verb „be“ + Verb+ing


	Englisch	Verb+ing
I	am	playing
You	are	playing
He	is	playing
She	is	playing
It	is	playing
We	are	playing
You	are	playing
They	are	playing

Das Present Continuous scheint kompliziert, weil du das Verb -be (im Deutschen "sein") und die -ing-Form des Verbes brauchst, z. B. "I am playing" -- "ich spiele" (gerade jetzt). Das Prädikat "am playing" besteht aus zwei Wörtern.

Beispiele
