Present Continuous

Mis see on?

Present Continuous'it kasutatakse tegude kohta, mis toimuvad praegu või praeguse aja ümber.

See moodustatakse oleviku vormiga to be ja verbist, mis lõpeb -ing-ga.

Näited:

  • I am working.
  • She is reading.
  • They are playing outside.

Lühivormid on igapäevases inglise keeles tavalised.

  • I am → I’m
  • he is → he’s
  • she is → she’s
  • it is → it’s
  • we are → we’re
  • you are → you’re
  • they are → they’re

Millal kasutada

Kasuta Present Continuous'i:

  • praegu toimuvate tegude jaoks: She is talking on the phone.
  • praeguse aja ümber toimuvate tegude jaoks: I am reading a new book this week.
  • ajutiste olukordade jaoks: He is staying with friends.
  • muutuvate olukordade jaoks: The weather is getting colder.
  • planeeritud tulevikukokkulepete jaoks: We are meeting them tomorrow.
  • korduvate tegude jaoks, mis on tüütud, sageli koos sõnaga always: He is always losing his keys.

Erandid

Mõnda verbi ei kasutata tavaliselt continuous-vormides, sest need kirjeldavad seisundeid, mõtteid, tundeid, omamist või meeli.

Levinud näited:

  • know
  • believe
  • understand
  • want
  • need
  • like
  • love
  • hate
  • own
  • belong

Kasuta nende tähenduste puhul Present Simple'it.

  • Õige: I know the answer.
  • Vale: I am knowing the answer.
  • Õige: She wants some water.
  • Vale: She is wanting some water.

Mõnda verbi saab kasutada mõlemas vormis, kui nende tähendus muutub.

  • I think he is right. — See on minu arvamus.
  • I am thinking about the problem. — See on praegu toimuv vaimne tegevus.

Levinud vead

  1. Vale: She working now. Õige: She is working now. Selgitus: Kasuta am, is või are enne -ing-verbi.

  2. Vale: I am work today. Õige: I am working today. Selgitus: Kasuta -ing-vormi pärast am.

  3. Vale: They is playing outside. Õige: They are playing outside. Selgitus: Kasuta are koos sõnaga they.

  5. Vale: Are she studying? Õige: Is she studying? Selgitus: Kasuta is koos sõnaga she.

  6. Vale: I don’t working now. Õige: I’m not working now. Selgitus: Kasuta Present Continuous'i eituses am not, mitte don’t.

  7. Vale: Does he sleeping? Õige: Is he sleeping? Selgitus: Ära kasuta Present Continuous'i küsimustes does.

  8. Vale: She is makeing dinner. Õige: She is making dinner. Selgitus: Enne -ing-i lisamist eemalda vaikiv -e.
