Rumus Present Continuous Tense

   Kalimat present continuous dibentuk oleh auxiliary verb “be” seperti am, is, are dan diikuti oleh present participle (bentuk V 1+ing). Kata kerja yang dipakai dalam tense ini biasanya adalah dynamic atau action verbs, yakni kata kerja yang yang menyatakan aksi atau adanya pergerakkan. Jika kalimat present continuous menggunakan stative verbs–kata kerja yang tidak menunjukkan aksi melainkan hanya menunjukkan sebuah situasi dan kondisi, biasanya kalimat tersebut memiliki makna pragmatik tertentu.
