现在进行时
测验您的知识现在进行时的构成
任何动词的现在进行时都是以两个部分所构成——Be 动词的现在时 + 主要动词的现在分词。
（现在分词的结构为：动词原型+ing，例如 talking丶playing丶moving丶smiling）
| 肯定句 | ||
| 主词 | + Be 动词 | + 原型 + ing |
| She | is | talking. |
| 否定句 | ||
| Subject | + Be 动词 + not | + 原型 + ing |
| She | is not (isn't) | talking. |
| 疑问句 | ||
| Be 动词 | + 主词 | + 原型 + ing |
| Is | she | talking? |
举例：TO GO 用于现在进行时
| 肯定句 | 否定句 | 疑问句 |
|---|---|---|
| I am going. | I am not going. | Am I going? |
| You are going. | You aren't going. | Are you going? |
| He, she, it is going. | He, she, it isn't going. | Is he, she, it going? |
| We are going. | We aren't going. | Are we going? |
| You are going. | You aren't going. | Are you going? |
| They are going. | They aren't going. | Are they going? |
注：也可使用否定形式的缩写：I'm not going丶you're not going丶he's not going 等。
现在进行时的作用
就如所有英语中的时态一样，说话者的态度与动作或事件发生的时间一样重要。当某人使用了现在进行时，他们就是认为某件事未完成或不完整
使用现在进行式的情况：
- 描述某个动作目前正在发生：You are using the Internet. You are studying English grammar.
- 描述某个动作正在这段时间或趋势发生：Are you still working for the same company? More and more people are becoming vegetarian.
- 描述某个未来的动作或事件，而这个动作或事件已经是规划或准备好的：We're going on holiday tomorrow. I'm meeting my boyfriend tonight. Are they visiting you next winter?
- 描述一个暂时的事件或情况：He usually plays the drums, but he's playing bass guitar tonight. The weather forecast was good, but it's raining at the moment.
- 用 always, forever, constantly 等副词来描述和强调一个不断反覆发生的动作：Harry and Sally are always arguing! You're constantly complaining about your mother-in-law!
要注意！有些动词通常不会用在进行时。
