Present Continous Tense digunakan untuk tindakan-tindakan yang sedang terjadi saat sekarang. Misalnya, “I am studying English” berarti bahwa saya sedang dalam proses belajar bahasa Inggris sekarang.
BentukPresent Continous Tense dibentuk dengan menambahkan kata kerja “to be” dan bentuk -ing. Perhatikan tabel berikut:
Tunggal Afirmatif I am studying You are studying She is studying He is studying It is studying Negatif I am not studying You are not studying She is not studying He is not studying It is not studying Pertanyaan Am I studying? Are you studying? Is she studying? | Jamak Afirmatif We are studying You are studying They are studying Negatif We are not studying You are not studying They are not studying Pertanyaan Are we studying? Are you sutdying? Are they studying? |
Untuk pertanyaan kita menukar posisi subjek dan kata kerja bantu “to be”, sebagai contoh:
- You are playing -> Are you playing?
Present Continous Tense digunakan untuk tindakan-tindakan yang sedang terjadi saat sekarang. Contoh:
- We are studying English (kami sedang belajar bahasa Inggris)
- You are using a computer (kamu sedang menggunakan komputer)
- It is raining today (hari ini hujan)
- I am working in Paris this month (saya kerja di Paris bulan ini)
- The world is turning (dunia berputar)
Periode waktu dari kalimat pertama diatas adalah today (hari ini), kalimat kedua satu bulan, dan kalimat terakhir selama-lamanya, tetapi semua kalimat ini membicarakan tentang proses-proses yang terjadi di sekitar waktu sekarang. Proses-proses tersebut terjadi sebelum waktu sekarang, sedang terjadi sekarang, dan akan terus berlangsung setelah sekarang. Inilah inti pokok dari Present Continous tense.
Present Continous tense juga digunakan untuk tindakan atau kebiasaan yang berulang. Pengulangan seperti ini dianggap sebagai sebuah proses yang terus berlanjut (kontinyu). Sebagai contoh:
- I am getting up early this week (saya cepat bangun pekan ini)
Present Continous juga digunakan untuk rencana-rencana di masa mendatang yang sudah pasti waktunya. Contoh:
- I’m going to Rome at 10.30 tomorrow (saya akan pergi ke Roma jam 10.30 besok)
- She’s coming to my apartment this evening (dia akan datang ke apartemenku malam ini)
Untuk membuat bentuk -ing, yang juga dikenal sebagai present participle, kita biasanya menambahkan -ing ke kata kerja. Contoh:
- study – studying
- eat – eating
- jump – jumping
- write – writing: bukan
writeing - skate – skating: bukan
skateing.
- run – running: bukan
runing - cut – cutting: bukan
cuting
- lie – lying: bukan
lieing
