Kaj je to?
Present Continuous uporabljamo za dejanja, ki se dogajajo zdaj ali okoli sedanjega časa.
Tvorimo ga s sedanjikom glagola to be in glagolom, ki se konča na -ing.
Primeri:
- I am working.
- She is reading.
- They are playing outside.
Kratke oblike so pogoste v vsakdanji angleščini.
- 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

Izjeme
Nekaterih glagolov običajno ne uporabljamo v obliki continuous, ker opisujejo stanja, misli, občutke, lastništvo ali čute.
Pogosti primeri vključujejo:
- know
- believe
- understand
- want
- need
- like
- love

- own
- belong
V teh pomenih uporabite Present Simple.
- Pravilno: I know the answer.
- Nepravilno: I am knowing the answer.

- Nepravilno: She is wanting some water.
Nekateri glagoli se lahko uporabljajo v obeh oblikah, ko se njihov pomen spremeni.
- I think he is right. — To je moje mnenje.
- I am thinking about the problem. — To je miselna dejavnost, ki se dogaja zdaj.
