Present Continuous

Present Continuous is used to talk about what is happening now.

We use "be" and add "-ing" onto the verb .

E.g.: She is playing soccer.

He is watching TV.

Add "-ing" onto the verb isn't as easy as it seems.

Sometimes we need to make some changes:

- When a verb ends in a silent "e", we drop the "e" and add "-ing":

make--------making

take---------taking

- When the last part of the verb ends in a short vowel + consonant, we have to double the consonant and add "-ing".

run---------running

swim---------swimming
