welcome back to lingonie english

0:17

my name is emily

0:19

in this video

0:21

i will teach you

0:22

how to talk about things you're doing

0:27

at the moment of speaking so

0:31

right now

0:32

to do this

0:34

we often use a tense called present

0:38

continuous

0:41

let's learn all about it now

0:44

you

0:45

are learning the present continuous

0:49

you are learning

0:51

the present continuous

0:54

right now

0:57

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

1:03

i

1:04

am teaching you the present continuous

1:09

i'm teaching you

1:11

right now

1:13

you form the present continuous

1:16

with the subject

1:19

the present form of the verb to be

1:23

and an ing verb

1:27

let's look at the conjugations

1:30

for the verb to be

1:33

as a quick review

1:37

i

1:38

am you

1:40

are

1:42

she

1:44

he

1:45

it

1:46

is

1:48

we

1:48

are

1:50

they are

1:52

don't forget we also can contract these

1:57

i am

1:59

becomes

2:01

i'm

2:02

you are

2:04

becomes

2:05

you're

2:07

she

2:08

he

2:09

it is

2:11

becomes she's

2:13

he's

2:14

it's

2:16

we are becomes

2:18

we're

2:20

and they are becomes there

2:24

so

2:26

if we put these with an ing verb

2:30

you have a full sentence in the present

2:34

continuous

2:36

you're learning

2:38

let's also look at a few examples of ing

2:44

verbs

2:46

working

2:48

playing

2:50

eating

2:52

listening

2:54

learning

2:56

waiting

2:58

sleeping

3:00

talking

3:02

let's look at a few examples

3:06

she

3:07

is playing soccer

3:11

she's playing soccer

3:14

he

3:15

is driving a car

3:18

he's driving a car

3:22

they are talking on the phone

3:27

they're talking on the phone

3:30

okay

3:31

so

3:32

now you know

3:33

how

3:34

to make or form

3:37

the present continuous

3:39

but

3:40

how do you know

3:42

when you should use it

3:45

use the present continuous

3:48

to talk about actions that are happening

3:52

right now

3:54

i am talking to you

3:57

at this moment

3:59

i

4:00

am talking to you

4:03

and you

4:04

are listening to me

4:07

right

4:09

because these things are happening

4:12

right now

4:14

we use the present continuous

4:18

maybe this will help you remember the

4:21

name of this tense

4:24

do you know what the verb to continue

4:28

means

4:30

it means to do something

4:32

without

4:34

stopping

4:35

it's continuing

4:38

so think about something that's

4:41

happening right now

4:43

it already started

4:45

and it's continuing or it's still going

4:49

on

4:50

right now

4:52

so what are you

4:55

doing right now

4:57

5:00

5:02

are you sitting on your couch

5:06

5:10

5:11

all these things are happening

5:14

right now

5:16

present continuous

5:19

okay so what about

5:22

negative sentences

5:24

to make a sentence negative

5:27

in the present continuous

5:29

5:32

after is

5:34

am or are

5:37

5:42

5:44

5:49

not coming over to my house

5:54

she

5:54

isn't

5:56

coming over to my house

6:00

6:01
