Berikut rumus present continuous tense dalam bentuk positif, negatif dan interogatif.
Note:
Bagi teman-teman yang belum tahu pasangan subject dan to be (am/is/are), berikut kami berikan sedikit ulasan mengenai pasangan subject & to be tersebut.
- Am digunakan khusus untuk I.
- Are digunakan untuk subject You, We, They, Ana & Ani, Father & Mother.
- Is digunakan untuk orang ketiga tunggal He, She & it.
A. Kalimat Positif
Subject | Am/Is/Are | Verb 1 + Ing | Object | Adverb of Time |
I | am | studying | English | now |
You | are | calling | your friend | now |
We | are | cooking | rice | now |
They | are | doing | exercise | at present |
He | is | standing | in front of the class | now |
She | is | reading | in her bedroom | in this time |
It | is | raining | – | now |
B. Kalimat Negatif

Swim | Swimming | Berenang |
Run | Running | Berlari |
Sit | Sitting | Duduk |
Put | Putting | Meletakkan |
