Practice Present Continuous Tense | English Grammar Course Checkup

Hi, everyone. I’m Esther.

大家好。

我是埃丝特。

Let’s start a checkup for the present continuous tense.

让我们开始检查现在进行时。

There’s a lot to learn, so let’s get started.

有很多东西需要学习，所以让我们开始吧。

For this checkup of the present continuous tense,

为了检查现在进行时，

we'll look at how this tense can be used to describe an action that's happening right now.

我们将看看如何使用这种时态

来描述现在正在发生的动作。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我们看一下第一句话。

‘You -blank- learning English.’

“你——空白——学英语。”

Remember for this tense, we start with the subject and the ‘be’ verb

请记住，对于这种时态，

我们从主语

和“be”动词开始，然后是动词“-ing”。

and then the verb ‘-ing’.

We already have the verb ‘-ing’ here, so we need the ‘be’ verb.

我们这里已经有动词“-ing”，

所以我们需要“be”动词。

The subject in the first sentence is ‘you’.

第一句话的主语是“你”。

对于“你”、“我们”和“他们”，我们使用动词“be”-“are”，

For ‘you’, ‘we’, and ‘they’, we use the ‘be’ verb - ‘are’,

so the correct answer is,

所以正确答案是

‘You are learning English’ right now.

“你现在正在学习英语”。

The next sentence says,

下一句话是：

‘She _blank_ not watching TV.’

“她_空白_不看电视。”

This is the negative form of the present continuous tense.

这是现在进行时的否定形式。

We have the word ‘not’ before the verb ‘-ing’,

动词“-ing”之前有“not”一词。

However, we're missing the ‘be’ verb again.

然而，我们又错过了“be”动词。

What is the be verb to use if the subject is ‘she’?

如果主语是“她”，be动词应该用什么？

the correct answer is ‘is’.

正确答案是“是”。

‘She is not watching TV.’

“她没有看电视。”

This one says, ‘I _blank_ studying now.’

这个人说，

“我现在_空白_正在学习。”

The subject here is ‘I’.

这里的主语是“我”。

Again think of the ‘be’ verb that goes before the subject ‘I’.

再次想想

主语“I”之前的“be”动词。

The ‘be’ verb is ‘am’.

“be”动词是“am”。

‘I am studying now.’

“我现在正在学习。”

We can also use a contraction and say, ‘I'm studying now’

我们还可以使用缩写形式说

“我现在正在学习”。

If we wanted to turn this into the negative form,

如果我们想把它变成否定形式，

we can also say, ‘I'm not studying now.’

我们也可以说

“我现在不学习”。

Now, take a look at the next sentence and find the mistake.

现在，看一下下一句话

，找出错误。

‘Layla is watch a movie.’

“莱拉正在看电影。”

Here we have the subject and the subject pronoun for Layla would be ‘she’.

这里我们有主语

，Layla 的主语代词是“她”。

We have the correct ‘be’ verb - ‘is’,

我们有正确的“be”动词 -“is”，

However, you'll notice we forgot the ‘-ing’ at the end of the verb.

但是，您会注意到我们忘记了 动词末尾的

“-ing”

We need to say, ‘watching’.

。 我们需要说“看着”。

‘Layla is watching a movie.’

“莱拉正在看电影。”

The next sentence says,

下一句话是：

‘They playing soccer now.’

“他们现在正在踢足球。”

What's missing?

少了什么东西？

If you got it the correct answer is we need the ‘be’ verb – ‘are’

如果你明白了，正确的答案是

我们需要动词“be”——“are”，

because the subject is ‘they’.

因为主语是“they”。

‘They are playing soccer now.’

“他们现在正在踢足球。”

And finally, ‘What do you do?’

最后，“你是做什么的？”

If you want to ask somebody what they're doing right now,

如果你想问某人

现在在做什么，

你可以说“什么”……

you say, 'what’... and the ‘be’ verb – ‘are... you.. doing?’

然后用“be”动词——“

你……在……做什么？”

‘What are you doing?’

'你在干什么？'

Let's move on to the next practice.

我们继续进行下一个练习。

For this checkup we'll talk about the present continuous tense

在这次检查中，

我们将讨论现在进行时

and how it can be used to describe an action that started in the past and continues today.

以及如何使用它来描述

从过去开始并持续到今天的动作。

It's a longer action.

这是一个较长的动作。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我们看一下第一句话。

‘He _blank_ studying economics.’

“他_空白_学习经济学。”

Remember for this tense, we take the subject, a ‘be’ verb, and then verb ‘-ing’.

请记住，对于这种时态，

我们采用主语、

动词“be”，然后采用动词“-ing”。

Here we already have the verb ‘-ing’, ‘studying’.

这里我们已经有动词“-ing”，“学习”。

So what are we missing?

那么我们还缺少什么呢？

The ‘be’ verb.

“是”动词。

The correct ‘be’ verb for the subject ‘he’ is ‘is’.

主语“he”的正确“be”动词是“is”。

So, ‘He is studying economics.’

所以，“他正在学习经济学。”

The next sentence says, ‘They're _blank_ for the fight.’

下一句话是：

“他们_空白_不适合战斗。”

The verb we want to use is ‘train’.

我们要使用的动词是“火车”。

Now we already have the 'be' verb here.

现在我们已经有了“be”动词。

It's in the contraction ‘there’ because it's ‘they are’.

它是“there”的缩写，因为它是“they are”。

All we have to do now is add ‘-ing’ to the verb.

我们现在要做的就是在动词后添加“-ing”。

‘They're training for the fight these days.’

“他们

这些天正在为战斗进行训练。”

And ‘We _blank_ teaching at the school.’

并且“我们在学校教学是空白的。”

我们再次缺少“be”动词。

Again we're missing the ‘be’ verb.

What is the ‘be’ verb for ‘we’?

“我们”的“be”动词是什么？

正确答案是“是”。

The correct answer is ‘are’.

‘We are teaching at the school.’

“我们在学校教书。”

Now let's look for the mistakes in the next sentence.

现在我们来看看

下一句中的 错误

‘Ben is study to become a doctor.’

。 “本正在学习成为一名医生。”

Can you find the error?

你能找到错误吗？

Well we have the subject and we have the proper ‘be verb’.

好吧，我们有主语

，我们有正确的“be 动词”。

What we're missing is the ‘-ing’ at the end of ‘study’.

我们缺少的是

“study”末尾的“-ing”。

正确答案是

The correct answer is, ‘Ben is studying to become a doctor’.

“本正在学习成为一名医生”。

Let's look at the next sentence.

我们看下一句话。

‘I don't reading that book.’

“我不读那本书。”

hmm

嗯

‘I don't reading that book.’

“我不读那本书。”

To form the negative in the present continuous, we don't use ‘do’ or ‘does’

为了形成现在进行时的否定形式，

我们不使用“do”或“does”

We use the ‘be’ verb. What is the be verb for ‘I’?

我们使用“be”动词。

“我”的 be 动词是什么？

The correct answer is ‘am’.

正确答案是“是”。

‘I am not reading that book.’

“我不读那本书。”

There is no contraction for ‘am not’.

“am not”没有缩写形式。

Finally, ‘They are to learn English.’

最后，“他们要学习英语。”

We have the subject and we have the correct ‘be’ verb,

我们有主语

并且有正确的“be”动词，

but remember we need verb ‘-ing’.

但请记住我们需要动词“-ing”。

Therefore, the correct answer is,

因此，正确答案是

‘They are learning English.’

“他们正在学习英语。”

Let's move on to the next checkup.

让我们继续进行下一次检查。

For this checkup we'll take a look at how the present continuous tense

在这次检查中，我们将看看如何

使用 现在进行时

can be used to talk about future plans.

来谈论未来的计划。

Let's take a look.

让我们来看看。

The first sentence says, ‘They're play a game tonight.’

第一句话是：

“他们今晚要玩游戏。”

The verb we want to use is ‘play’.

我们要使用的动词是“玩”。

Remember we start with the subject and here we have it, ‘they’.

请记住，我们从主题开始

，这里有“他们”。

Then we have the ‘be’ verb.

然后我们有“be”动词。

In this case we used a contraction for ‘they are – ‘they’re’.

在这种情况下，我们使用了“they are”的缩写——“they're”。

That's correct.

这是正确的。

After that we have to add ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb,

之后我们必须

在动词末尾添加“-ing”，

so the correct answer is, ‘They're playing a game tonight.’

所以正确的答案是

“他们今晚要玩游戏”。

The next sentence says, 'We _blank_ not studying tomorrow.’

下一句话是：

“我们_空白_明天不学习。”

Looks good but there's a word that's missing.

看起来不错，但是少了一个字。

This is the negative form because we have ‘not’.

这是否定形式，因为我们有“不”。

We simply need the ‘be’ verb for ‘we’.

我们只需要“我们”的动词“be”。

The correct ‘be’ verb is ‘are’. ‘We are not studying tomorrow.’

正确的“be”动词是“are”。

“我们明天不学习。”

The next sentence says, ‘Lynn is _blank_ out tonight.’

下一句话是：

“林恩今晚_空白_缺席。”

and we want to use the verb ‘go’.

我们想使用动词“go”。

Remember 'Lynn' and then the ‘be’ verb – ‘is’.

记住“Lynn”，然后记住“be”动词——“is”。

That's correct. All we have to do is add ‘-ing’.

这是正确的。

我们所要做的就是添加“-ing”。

“ 林恩

‘Lynn is going out tonight.’

今晚要出去。”

To make this negative you can say,

为了使这个否定

，你可以说，“林恩今晚不会出去。”

‘Lynn is not going out tonight.’ or ‘Lynn isn't going out tonight.’

或者“林恩今晚不会出去。”

The next sentence says, ‘Laura isn't study this evening.’

下一句话是：

“劳拉今晚不学习。”

Can you find the mistake?

你能找出其中的错误吗？

Remember we have to add ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb,

请记住，我们必须

在动词末尾添加“-ing”，因此我们需要说：

so we need to say,

‘Laura isn't studying this evening.’

“劳拉今晚不学习。”

The next sentence says,

下一句话是：

‘My sons will playing chess later.’

“我的儿子们稍后会下棋。”

We are talking about a future plan,

我们正在谈论未来的计划，

so you might be tempted to use ‘well’ or ‘will’, I'm sorry.

所以您可能会想使用“好”

或“将”，抱歉。

However, instead of saying ‘will’, we use the ‘be’ verb.

然而，我们不说“will”，而是

使用“be”动词。

“我的儿子们稍后会下棋。”

‘My sons are playing chess later.’

And finally, ‘She's not to eating dinner tonight.’

最后，

“她今晚不吃晚饭了。”

There's an extra word in here that we don't need.

这里有一个我们不需要的额外单词。

What is it?

它是什么？

It's ‘to’.

是‘到’。

Remember, subject - ‘be’ verb, not verb ‘-ing’.

请记住，主语 - 'be' 动词，而不是动词 '-ing'。

We do not need ‘to’ in this sentence.

这句话中我们不需要“到”。

All right well that's the end of this checkup.

好了，本次检查就到此结束。

Let's move on.
