PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Present continuous is a tense in present, it puts emphasis on the course of duration of an action.

Is used for actions going on in the moment of speaking and for actions taking place only for a short period of time. It is also used to express development and actions that are arranged for the near future.

Present continuous is also know as present progressive, we just add "ING" at the end of the verb.

WE NEED SOME RULES FOR VERBS:

1)Verb with one syllabe that ends in consonant + vowel+ consonant (C+V+C), double the last letter and add "ing"

Sit  -- Sitting

2)If a verb finish in consonant + vowel "e", we just rid "e" and add "ing"

Come -- Coming

3)When a verb ends in "ie", rid "ie" and add "Y" + "ing"

Lie -- Lying

Las reglas anteriores se aplicaran solo en el verbo, existen algunos verbos donde el presente progresivo no se aplica, durante el transcurso los conoceremos.
