Kalimat verbal
Untuk membentuk kalimat verbal Present Continuous Tense dengan model kalimat positive, negative, dan interrogative yaitu dengan menggunakan rumus berikut ini:
Kalimat positive (+) | S + be ( is, am, are ) + V-ing + C/O/A |
Kalimat negative (-) | S + be ( is, am, are ) + not V-ing + C/O/A |
Kalimat interrogative (?) | Be ( is, am, are ) + S + V-ing + C/O/A? |
Fungsi kalimat verbal Present Continuous Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu perbuatan/peristiwa yang sedang berlangsung saat ini, biasanya ditandai dengan keterangan now, at this moment, look!, right now, at present, listen.
Fungsi lain dari verbal Present Continuous Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan situasi yang berubah-ubah.
Contoh :
- My father is reading a newspapaer now. (Ayahku sedang membaca koran sekarang.)
- The price of fuel is increasing very fast. = (Harga bahan bakar meningkat dengan pesat.)
Kalimat nominal
Kalimat positive (+) | S + be ( is, am, are ) + being + C |
Kalimat negative (-) | S + be ( is, am, are ) + not being + C |
Kalimat interrogative (?) | Be ( is, am, are ) + S + being + C? |
Contoh :
- I am being so happy at present. (Aku sedang bergembira saat ini.)
- I am not being so happy at present. (Aku sedang tidak bergembira saat ini.)
- Am I being so happy at present? (Apakah aku sedang bergembira saat ini?)

Penggunaan
Dalam konteks topik kali ini present continuous tenses digunakan untuk:
- Menanyakan dan memberitahukan apa yang sedang berlangsung atau
sedang terjadi atau sedang dilakukan oleh seseorang pada saat kita
berbicara sekarang ini, misal:
- What is Novi doing right now? She is sleeping right now.
- Is Nurmia writing a letter at the moment? Yes, she is.
- Is Sari listening to the radio now? No she isn’t.
- Menyatakan suatu kegiatan yang sedang terjadi pada saat sekarang, tetapi tidak sedang terjadi pada saat kita berbicara. contoh:
- What are you doing now? I am reading a novel now.
Kalimat di atas menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan membaca novel tersebut sedang terjadi sekarang, tetapi bukan sedang terjadi pada saat si pembicara mengucapkan kalimat di atas.
- What are you doing now? I am reading a novel now.
Tidak semua kata kerja dapat diubah menjadi kata kerja berakhiran -ing untuk membentuk present continous tense. Beberapa kata kerja yang tidak dapat digunakan dalam present continous tense adalah seperti berikut:
believe | like | remember |
belong | love | see |
feel | mean | seem |
forget | need | smell |
hate | prefer | suppose |
hear | realise | understand |
Jadi kita bisa mengatakan, I love you; tetapi tidak bisa mengatakan, I am loving you.
Kita bisa boleh mengatakan, I belive him; tetapi tidak boleh mengatakan, I am believing him.
