The present continuous is very simple. + am/are/is (verb to be). + verb ending in -ing as we see, the auxiliary verb since it changes the main verb.
This verb form will always need auxiliary or support verbs depending on the verb tense that we are forming gerunds can be the subject or the object of a sentence can also be the object of a prepositions.
Here the auxiliary verb does not changes the onlythingthatismodified isThemainverb.
When the verb has a syllable or whose accent falls on the last syllable and ends in a consonant. the latter are usually duplicated.
All verbs ending in an –e that is not pronounced must be replaced with ing.
Example:
* He is dating a friend of my sister
* He's not taking it seriously
*He is taking care of a donkey
Rule 3
when the verb ends with -ee, you only have to add the ing.
Example:
*I'm seeing you behind the curtain
*He is not running from jail
* is your dog peeing in the suitcase
When a verb ends in -ie this letter should be replaced with the letter Y and the ing should be added.
Example: He is lying about what happened
* She is not dying of love
* We are serving you well
