Hello, children! How are you?

Let’s revise the present continuous tense!

We use the present continuous tense to talk about things happening now.

Look at these examples in the affirmative form:

I am having breakfast.

Isobel is eating an apple.

Mum and Dad are working.

Remember:

We use the verb “to be” (am/is/are) + verb + -ing. Look at these spelling rules:

- Most verbs add -ing: play-playing; read-reading.

- Verbs ending in -e drop the e and add -ing: write-writing; dance-dancing.

- Verbs ending in vowel + consonant double the consonant and add -ing: sit-sitting; swim-swimming; run-running.

Complete the sentences with am, is, or are.

1. I ________ writing an email.

2. We ________ doing gymnastics.

3. Tom ________ reading a book.

4. You ________ wearing my jacket!

5. I ________ having lunch.

6. It ________ raining.

Complete the table with the -ing form of the verbs.

sit	5 _______________
swim	6 _______________
