Present Continuous (trajni sedanjik)

Present Continuous

Present Continuous opisuje dejanja, ki potekajo prav zdaj ali v obdobju okoli sedanjosti. Tvorimo ga z am/is/are + verb-ing. Uporabljamo ga tudi za prihodnje dogovore, ki so že načrtovani.

KDAJ UPORABITI

Uporabljaj ga za dejanja, ki potekajo prav zdaj, za začasne okoliščine v sedanjosti ali za trdno dogovorjene prihodnje načrte. Z njim opisujemo tudi trende in okoliščine, ki se spreminjajo.

Glagoli stanja (know, believe, want, like) se ne uporabljajo v obliki -ing

Nasvet

Nekateri glagoli so glagoli stanja ('stative'): opisujejo stanja, ne dejanj, zato se skoraj nikoli ne uporabljajo v obliki -ing. Mednje spadajo: know, believe, want, need, like, love, hate, prefer, understand.
