Für Progressive kann auch Continuous stehen. Beachte, dass Signalwörter verschiedene Zeitformen verlangen können. Für die Zeitformen der Zukunft haben wir auf
Signalwörter verzichtet, da hier mehrere Zeitformen möglich sind und keine eindeutigen Zuordnungen möglich sind. Überlege also immer, welche Handlung vorliegt.
