El
Present Progressive o Continuous
Se utiliza en inglés para hablar de situaciones en curso, que han empezado pero aun no han
llegado a su fin: It’s raining (Está lloviendo). Esta forma verbal se utiliza a menudo para
describir situaciones que tenemos delante de nuestros ojos o que sabemos que se están
desarrollando mientras hablamos. Por lo tanto, muy a menudo el Present Progressive está
acompañado por adverbios o expresiones adverbiales como now, at the moment, at present,
currently etc.
Formas del Present Progressive o Continuous:
1. Forma afirmativa
El Present Progressive o Continuous es una forma verbal compuesta por el auxiliar TO BE,
conjugado en función del sujeto de la frase, y por la la forma de participio presente del verbo
principal (V+ing).
I am reading the newspaper. He is having a shower. We are playing tennis.
2. Forma interrogative
Dado que el Present Progressive contiene el verbo TO BE como auxiliar, la forma interrogativa
se obtiene invirtiendo el órden del auxiliar y del sujeto:
Are you reading the newspaper? Is he having a shower? Are they playing tennins?
3. Forma negative
La forma negativa del Present Progressive consiste en la forma negativa del verbo TO BE
acompañada por el participio presente del verbo principal:
I’m not reading the newspaper. He isn’t having a shower We aren’t playing tennis.
Importante
El Present Progressive o Continuous es una forma verbal compuesta, por lo tanto los dos
elementos (el auxiliar y el participio presente) son obligatorios. Una frase como *I reading the
newspaper es incorrecta.
Reglas de ortografía para el participio presente
1. Cuando el verbo acaba en “e” normalmente la “e” cae delante de la terminación -ing:
2. Cuando se trata de un verbo monosilábico acabado en una sola vocal seguida por una
consonante, la consonante final se duplica delante de la terminación -ing:
stop – stopping; sit -sitting; win – winning.
Pero fijaros que cuando hay más de una vocal en el verbo, no duplicamos la consonante final:
rain – raining
3. Cuando se trata de un verbo bisilábico cuya sílaba tónica es la segunda, la consonante final
se dobla delante de la terminación – ing:
begin – beginning; prefer – preferring.
Pero si la sílaba tónica es la primera no existen modificaciones:
visit – visiting; open – opening
Excepción:
En inglés británico, los verbos bisilábicos con accento en la primera sílaba acabados en “l”
como “travel” doblan la “l” delante de la terminación – ing (travelling). En inglés americano,
no se dobla la consonante (traveling).
4. No existen modificaciones cuando el verbo acaba en vocal o consonante + y:
play – playing; study – studying
5. Los verbos acabados en -ie cambian este grupo de vocales por una y delante de la
terminación -ing:
die – dying
