 CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

A. SENSE OF PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE

Present continuous tense or present progressive tense is a verb form used to express

current action (present) or future plan (future). There is no division of tobe and verb, because

it is tobe in continuous tense for auxiliary verb.

Present continuous tense (disebut juga present progressive tense) dibentuk

dengan auxiliary verb “be”, berupa is/am/are – karena present tense (waktu sekarang),

dan present participle (-ing form). Umumnyapresent continuous tense hanya terjadi pada aksi

berupa dynamic verb, tidak stative verb

The time statement used in the present progressive tense is :

Now : sekarang

Right Now : sekarang ini, sekarang juga

At Present : pada waktu ini, sekarang ini

To day : Hari ini

This week : Minggu ini

This morning : pagi ini

Soon : segera

At present : pada saat ini

Right now : saat ini

This afternoon: sore ini

In a few days : dalam beberapa hari

The main point in the present continuous tense

1. Auxiliary (Kata Bantu)

The auxilliaries used in the Present Continuous Tense formation are: be-present, whose

members consist of 3 types of beams: Am, Is and Are. Each of these be-present members is

used by subject.

Forexample:

• If the subject is: I, then use be-present AM.

• If the subject is: You, We or They or its equivalent, then use be-present ARE, and

• If the subject is: He, She or It or its equivalent, then use be-present IS.

This provision is absolute as a form of rules or rules of Grammar English (English Grammar).

Since the auxiliary be-present is used as a "tool" to assist in the formation of the tense Present

Continuous Tense, the auxiliary be-present may be referred to as auxiliary verb. In this case,

the verb is: Verb-Ing.

2. Verb (Kata Kerja)

The verb (verb) used in the Present Continuous Tense formation is the Verb Present

Participle, also called Verb-Ing or Ing Form Verb, the basic verb (Bare-infinitive/

Infinitive) which added suffixes (Suffix) in the form:-Ing.

Example :

Go + ing > going

Send + ing > sending

Walk + ing > walking

Speak + ing > speaking, dsb.

Example :
 She is brushing the bathroom floor.
(Dia sedang menyikat lantai kamar mandi.)

I’m driving a car to Bandung now.

(Saya sedang mengendarai mobil ke Bandung sekarang.)

He’s learning English in order to be a great guide.

(Dia sedang mempelajari bahasa Inggris agar menjadi pemandu wisata

D. HOW TO ESTABLISH PRESENT PARTICIPLE

 1. If the infinitive ends in the vowel -e preceded by the consonant, -e must be omitted,

then augmented-ing.

Ex: smile → smiling

2. If the infinitive ends in the vowel -e preceded by the vowel i, first -ie is replaced by y,

then plus-ing.

Ex: die → dying

3. If the basic, one-syllable verb form of the verb ends with a dead letter vocalized by a

vowel, the last consonant is then duplicated and augmented –ing.

Ex: stop → stopping

4. If the basic form of a syllable verb is two or more, the pressure falls on the last

syllable and ends with a dead letter which is prompted by a vowel, the last consonant

being duplicated and then augmented -ing.

Ex: admit → admitting

Note:

If the infinitive ends in vocal -e preceded by vocal -e as well, just add -ing.

Ex: flee – fleeing.

1. Verbs about feelings, such as; hear, feel, notice, see, smell

2. Verbs that express emotion, such as; appreciate, care, desire, fear, hate, like, dislike,

love, mind, want.

understand.

Example : I forget what she said.

4. Verbs that show belongings or possessions such as; belong, owe, posses, own.

Example : He owns two cars.

5. Verbal auxiliary except for be and have in special use except for feel words can be

used for simple present tense or in continuous tense form if followed by adjective

showing emotion or state of soul of subject, as : angry/pleased, cold/hot, happy/sad,

ill/well, confident/nervous.

Example : - I feel good now atau I am feeling good now.Brain game

 CHAPTER III

CLOSING PROBLEMS

1. Conclusion

Present Progressive Tense or also called present continuous tense is a form of time used to

declare an action, state or event that is happening at the time of discussion.

The formula:

Subject + is/am/are + V-ing + Object + adverb.

Example :

We are studying English now.

The time statement in the present progressive tense is usually an imperative, because the

context of time in the command line is current or at the time of speaking.

2. Suggestions

By understanding the explanation of present progressive tense, it is expected to use it in

making sentences correctly.
