What are you doing ? Present continuous

17th March 2026

We use present simple [verb 0 or base verb] to talk about things that we do all the time, to talk about things that do not change often in our life.

EXAMPLE:

I live in London / I study English / I work in a hospital / I am a student /

You eat vegetarian food, you don’t eat meat / He plays football /

She plays tennis / We go to the beach on holiday

The present continuous is for things we are doing NOW

EXAMPLE:

I live in London [present simple] = I am living in London

We form the present continuous by:

Subject + verb ‘to be’ + verbing

I am eating // You are drinking // He is watching // She is studying // It is working//

Ms Quyen is laughing // We are dancing //

They are playing.

NOW … your turn

Change present simple into present continuous

1. I swim 2. You buy pizza 3. He plays tennis

4. She learns science 5. We talk quietly

6. They visit Wales

Answers:

I am swimming // You are buying pizza //

He is playing tennis // She is learning science //

We are talking quietly // They are visiting wales.

Time to use English ! Look at the painting and tell me what you see … use present continuous and amazing adjectives.

EXAMPLE: The tall, strong man with a yellow hat is standing by the gate.
