Present Continuous

When we talk about something happening 'now', 'at the moment' or in pictures, we often use the Present Continuous. For example :

(?) Is he swimming at the moment? Yes, he is.

(-) No, he isn't. He isn't swimming.

(+) He is reading at the moment.

EG : He is walking now. She is eating at the moment.

We use the auxiliary verb 'to be' plus 'ing' on the main verb.

I am ... ing

You are ... ing

He is ... ing

She is ... ing

It is ... ing

We are ... ing

You are ... ing

They are ... ing

Teachers: This is a worksheet to practice the Present Continuous, which I've found to be very useful for lower level students, both children and adults. I'm not sure if I have permission to reproduce the images, so if they're yours please let me know :)
