 PREFACE

Prade be to God Almighty for the blessing of his grace, and that we were
given the opportunity ti be able to compile a working paper entitled “present
progressive” is properly and correctly, and on time.
This basis for this research originally stemmed from my passion for
developing better methods of data storage and preservation. As the world moves
futher into the digital age, generating vast amounts of data and born digital
content, there will be a greater need to access legacy materials created with
outdated technology. How will we access this content? It is my passion to not
only find out, but to develop tools to break down barries of accessibility for future
generation.
In truth, I could not have achieved my current level of success without a
strong support group. First of all, my parents, who supported me with love and
understanding. And secondly, my committee members, each of whom has
provided patient advice and guidance throughout the research process. Thank you
all for your unwavering support.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
The present progressive is formed by combining the verb “to be” with
the present participle. (The present participle is merely the “-ing” form
of a verb.)In English, present progressive can be used to describe what
is happening now, or what will happen in the future.In Spanish, the
present progressive is only used to describe an action that is in the
process of taking place. It is not used for future actions , To form the
present progressive in Spanish, combine a form of “estar” with the
present participle. In order to form the present progressive, you must
know how to conjugate the verb estar, and how to form the present
participle. You already know how to conjugate the verb estar
Remember, only use the present progressive for actions that are “in
progress.” Compare the uses of the present indicative with the uses of
the present progressive

DISCRIPTION

2.1 Definition of present progressive

The PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something
going on now. This tense is formed with the helping "to be" verb, in the present
tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending): "I am
buying all my family's Christmas gifts early this year. She is working through the
holiday break. Dierdre is being a really good girl in these days before Christmas".
The present progressive can suggest that an action is going to happen in the
future, especially with verbs that convey the idea of a plan or of movement from
one place or condition to another: "The team is arriving in two hours. He's
moving to Portland this summer." Because the present progressive can suggest
either the present or the future, it is usually modified by adverbs of time.
Generally, progressive forms occur only with what are called dynamic verbs and
not with stative verbs

2.2 Model of present progressive

 PAST PROGRESSIVE TENSE
The PAST PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something that
was happening, going on, at some point in the past. This tense is formed with the
helping "to be" verb, in the past tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with
an -ing ending):
I was riding my bike all day yesterday.
Joel was being a terrible role model for his younger brother.
The past progressive indicates a limited duration of time and is thus a convenient
way to indicate that something took place (in the simple past) while something
else was happening:
Carlos lost his watch while he was running.
The past progressive can express incomplete action.
I was sleeping on the couch when Bertie smashed through the door.
(as opposed to the simple past, which suggests a completed action:
I slept on the couch last night.
The past progressive is also used to poke fun at or criticize an action that is
sporadic but habitual in nature:
Tashonda was always handing in late papers.
My father was always lecturing my brother.

  FUTURE PROGRESSIVE TENSE 
The FUTURE PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something
that will be happening, going on, at some point in the future. This tense is formed
with the modal "will" plus "be," plus the present participle of the verb (with an -
ing ending): "I will be running in next year's Boston Marathon. Our campaign
plans suggest that the President will be winning the southern vote by November. "

 PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE 

The PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates a continuous action
that has been finished at some point in the past or that was initiated in the past and
continues to happen. The action is usually of limited duration and has some
current relevance: "She has been running and her heart is still beating fast." The
present perfect progressive frequently is used to describe an event of the recent
past; it is often accompanied by just in this usage: "It has just been raining."
This tense is formed with the modal "HAVE" or "HAS" (for third-person singular
subjects) plus "BEEN," plus the present participle of the verb (with an -
ing ending): "I have been working in the garden all morning. George has been
painting that house for as long as I can remember."

 PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE 

The PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates a continuous action that
was completed at some point in the past. This tense is formed with the modal
"HAD" plus "BEEN," plus the present participle of the verb (with an -ing ending):
"I had been working in the garden all morning. George had been painting his
house for weeks, but he finally gave up."

 FUTURE PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE 

The FUTURE PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates a continuous action
that will be completed at some point in the future. This tense is formed with the
modal "WILL" plus the modal "HAVE" plus "BEEN" plus the present participle
of the verb (with an -ing ending): "Next Thursday, I will have been working on
this project for three years."

2.3 Example present progressive

Singular Plural
I will have been walking we will have been walking
you will have been walking you will have been walking
he/she/it will have been walking they will have been walking

Singular Plural
I will have been sleeping we will have been sleeping
you will have been sleeping you will have been sleeping
he/she/it will have been sleeping they will have been sleeping

Singular Plural
There is no future perfect progressive for the "to be" verb. "Will have been
being" is expressed simply as "will have been": "By this time next year we
will have been being on this committee for a decade."

 CHAPTER III
CONCLUTION

3.1 Conclution
Present continuous tense or present progressive tense is a form
of verb that is used to express current action or future plans.
Continuous tense is formed with the auxiliary verb "be", in the form of
is / am / are - because of present tense (present time), and present
participle (-ing).
Is used on subjects such as singular noun (such as: Tita, book) and
third person singular pronoun (such as: she, he, it); are on plural nouns
(like: boys, men, books), plural pronouns (like: we, they) and you;
while am on I.
Generally this tense only occurs in the action in the form of dynamic
or action verb, not stative verb. Why so? because in general only
dynamic verb has a continuous form.
