Hi guys,
Welcome to our Intermediate Grammar class. So today, we will learn about the ‘Continous Tense‘.
I ll make it simple by saying that Continous means SEDANG.
So, if you want to say something which is being happened, this tense is the requirement.
I will directly show you the 3 of basic tenses connected to the continuous condition.
PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
to/be (is, am, are) + Ving
to/be (is, am, are) + being +Non Verb
make sure you always put to be first
PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE
to/be (was, were) + Ving
to/be (was, were) + being + Non Verb
make sure you always put to be first
FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE
will/shall + be +Ving
will/shall + be + being + Non Verb
remember Shall is used for Subject I and We
Look at the dialogue below:
Annie: “Hi, Susan. What were you doing last night when I called you?”
Susan: “Hmm.. I was cooking dinner. Sorry. How is it about, dear?
Annie: “I am being confuse right now, Susan.”
Susan: “Will you be being confuse forever? Tell me now.”
Annie: “I am telling you the truth, but promise me you won’t be cheap mouth?
Susan: “I am trusted one since you are my savior when I am being hungry, hehe”
Annie: “I saw my grandma was dancing, last night and it was breathtaking”
Susan: “Why? May be she was being happy“
Annie: You know what? Someone is dating her recently. I am shocked!
Susan: ” Haha… You are not shocking, Beib! You are just being jealous because you are still being single until now”
Annie: “#$%#$^%^%@#$@#$@#%^$%^#%$#67887”
As you can see, the using of Continuous tense are intense and precise. It helps us to be clearer with the time used.
Now, assignment for you. Please also create your OWN simple paragraph or dialogue containing the Continuous Tense in Present, Past or Future. Just mix it. Don’t forget to underline it or bold it. Write it in the comment of this post mentioning your name. Thanks.
