Description: Learn how to form verbs in the present continuous in English.
Video Transcript: The present continuous form describes something that is happening at this moment. To form the present continuous, you put the subject first, then the appropriate form of the verb to be, and the present participle (the -ing form of the verb) - He is sleeping. To make it negative, you just put the verb to be in its negative form - He isn't sleeping. To form a question, you put the verb to be first and then the subject - Is he sleeping? Yes, he is. Is he sleeping? No, he isn't. Are they reading? Yes, they are. Are they reading? No, they aren't.
