Present Continuous Tense

Dalam Bahasa Inggris, dikenal berbagai bentuk tense. Tense ini digunakan untuk
menyebut perubahan bentuk kata kerja berdasarkan waktu terjadinya.
Dalam pengertian Present Continuous Tense merupakan tense bentuk yang
menunjuk pada tindakan yang sedang berlangsung sekarang atau ketika pembicaraan
itu sedang berlangsung. Jadi tindakan itu sudah dimulai, dan belum berakhir ketika
pembicaraan itu berlangsung. Selain itu, tense ini juga bisa digunakan untuk bentuk
tindakan yang berlangsung hanya untuk jangka waktu yang singkat. Kita juga bisa
menggunakan tense ini untuk membicarakan suatu perubahan atau perkembangan
yang sedang berlangsung dalam rentang waktu yang lama. Selain itu, tense ini juga
bisa dipakai untuk menyebut suatu tindakan yang akan di dilakukan di masa depan
(perencanaan). Umumnya, tense ini juga biasa disebut Present Progressive Tense.

7.30 besok)
3. perubahan atau perkembangan yang sedang berlangsung dalam rentang waktu yang
lama. Contoh : The earth is getting older (Bumi ini semakin tua)

@ Sanny
Simple Present digunakan untuk menyatakan
suatu kejadian yang berlangsung singkat saat
ini atau suatu kenyataan.

Contoh:
Aku bawakan buku untukmu
I bring you book
Aku bekerja di sebuah supermarket
I work at a supermarket
Present Continous digunakan untuk suatu
kejadian yang sedang berlangsung saat ini.
Contoh:
Aku sedang duduk di sebuah kursi
Im sitting at a chair
@imam
Setuju. Seharusnya menggunakan is.

jack is sleeping now ( subject + to be (am, is,

are) + Verb ing + object )
@ sungsang. kalo menurut saya begini:
+I work in a supermarket simple tense V1
+I am sitting on a chair to be (am, is, are) +

Verb ing
(on + the + permukaan benda
Phrase ini digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa
suatu benda berada atau
menempel/bersentuhan pada permukaan
benda lain. ON berarti di atas jika menempel
di atas permukaan benda lainnya. Sebaliknya,
gunakan ABOVE untuk menyatakan di atas
tetapi bendanya tidak menempel.)
