Presente Continuo Present continuos

El presente continuo (presente continuos en inglés), es una forma de tiempo usada para
describir acciones y circunstancias que están ocurriendo en este momento, para ser más
específicos por ejemplo en estos momentos estás leyendo, en pocas palabras estás
realizando una acción en presente continuo. Esta forma de tiempo se compone del verbo
to be en el presente simple más un verbo en gerundio (terminado en –ing) como se
puede apreciar en el siguiente ejemplo.

Sujeto (I, he, she, etc.)+ Verbo To be en presente simple (Am, Is, Are)+ ING (lo que en
español vendría equivaliendo a la terminación “ando”)

Ejemplos:
She is drinking lemonade
We are playing soccer
You are painting a picture
My father is working
I am studying
