Grammar 12 

Present continuous 

(duurvorm tegenwoordige tijd)

Goal

Het doel van deze les: 
Aan het einde van deze les kun je present continuous gebruiken in bevestigende, ontkennende en vragende zinnen. 

Present continuous 

Je gebruikt de present continuous (duurvorm) als je wilt zeggen dat iets nu aan de gang is. 

Je maakt de present continuous door:  

to be (am, is of are) + hele werkwoord + ing 

to be + hele werkwoord + ing
