18 October 2011 / Andraž Babnik


Last English hour we were talking about present continuous. Then we were doing some exercises about present continuous in textbook in pairs.
Here are some rules about the use of present continuous:
·         When we are talking about acts, which are placing right now, at this moment.
- Are you coming with us or not?
- We are flying by plane right now.
·         When we are talking about agreed future actions, which are at the time of talking already firmly established.
- We are visiting grandparents every week.
- I am flying to France on Friday.
·         When we are talking about things, which are changing or developing in the present.
- Computers are becoming more and more important in our lives.
·         When we are talking about something, which is happening only in fixed-term . It is going about a temporary or transitional actions.
- Miha is on holiday this week. He is staying with his parents in London.

When we read that, we were doing an exercise about present continuous in eleven sentences. At this time teacher was grading some pupil and then the English hour ends.
