Present Continuous Tense

A. Pengertian Present Continuous Tense

Present continuous tense adalah bentuk tense yang digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa suatu aksi sedang berlangsung selama waktu tertentu pada waktu sekarang (present). Bentuk ini menunjukkan bahwa aksi tersebut terjadi sebelum (begins before), selama (is in progress at the present), dan berlanjut setelah (continues after)  waktu atau aksi lainnya.
Apabila kita sudah memahami simple present tense, selanjutnya tidaklah sulit untuk mengerti aspek lain dari bingkai waktu present ini.
Contoh kalimat:
It is 16.00. They are discussing something right now.
Penjelasan:
Mereka mulai berdiskusi sejam yang lalu. Sekarang jam menunjukkan pukul 16.00 dan mereka masih berdiskusi. Ini menunjukkan bahwa diskusi mereka dimulai pada masa lampau (begins before), masih berlangsung pada saat sekarang (is in progress at the present), dan mungkin akan berlanjut sampai nanti (continues after).

B. Rumus Present Continuous Tense

Untuk membentuk kalimat present continuous tense, kita harus menerapkan rumus be + present participle (-ing) pada kata kerja utama.

• Positif(+)
Subjek + be (am/is/are) + verb (-ing) + …
Contoh kalimat :
She is sleeping right now
We are studying today

• Negatif(-)
Subjek +be (am/is/are) + not + verb (-ing) + …
Contoh kalimat :
She is not sleeping right now 
We are not studying today

• Interrogatif(?)
Be (am/is/are) + subjek + verb (-ing) + …?
Contoh kalimat :
Is she sleeping right now?
Are we studying today?
