actions: in the morning (before 12: am), in the afternoon (until 18: pm), in the evening (up to
18:00 pm), at night
PRESENT CONTINUOUS: Uses
• To talk about actions happening at the present moment and the action is not
finished yet: John is watching TV; They are reading
PRESENT CONTINUOUS: Structure
We use the verb To Be in present with the gerund to form this tense.
I am studying
I am Reading
To form the gerund, we add –ing to the main verb.

Verbs ending in consonant + vowel + consonant, we repeat the last letter: run-running;
sit-sitting

To form questions subject and verb are inverted.

Short answers: yes, he is; no, he isn´t
