3. Write true sentences about what is happening at the moment. • (I/wash/my hair) • (it/rain) • (my deskmate/sit/on a chair) • (my mum/listen/to music) • (I/learn/English) • (we/play/football)
1. I am washing my hair.
To form this sentence, we use the structure "subject + am/is/are + verb + ing." In this case, the subject is "I," and the verb is "wash." Since the action is happening at the moment, we add "am" before the verb and "ing" after the verb.
2. It is raining.
To form this sentence, we use the same structure as before. The subject is "it," and the verb is "rain." We add "is" before the verb and leave the verb as it is since "rain" is already in its base form.
3. My deskmate is sitting on a chair.
Again, we use the same structure. The subject is "my deskmate," the verb is "sit," and we add "is" before the verb. We also leave the verb as it is in its base form.
4. My mum is listening to music.
Once more, we use the same structure. The subject is "my mum," the verb is "listen," and we add "is" before the verb. Pay attention to the fact that "listen" remains in its base form.
5. I am learning English.
We stick to the same structure as the previous examples. The subject is "I," the verb is "learn," and we add "am" before the verb. The verb remains in its base form.
6. We are playing football.
Continuing with the same structure, the subject is "we," the verb is "play," and we add "are" before the verb. Like before, the verb remains in its base form.
These sentences show actions happening at the moment of speaking or present continuous tense. By using the present continuous tense, we can describe things that are currently happening or actions in progress.
