Anhaltende Gegenwart

(Present continuous)

Einführung

Wir nutzen die anhaltende Gegenwart um über Folgendes zu sprechen:

eine Handlung, die gerade jetzt passiert (1)
eine Handlung, die um diese Zeit passiert (2) (es geschah in der Vergangenheit und setzt sich jetzt bis in die Zukunft fort)
a definite arrangement in the future (3).

Beispiele:

Please be quiet. I'm watching television. (1)
She's studying Italian at the university. (2)
They’re booking the hotel tomorrow. (3)

Teil 1 - positive anhaltende Gegenwart

Wir bilden die anhaltende Gegenwart mit
der Gegenwartsform des Verbs "be" ("am", "is", "are")
+ die "ing" Form des Hauptverbes (Partizip Präsens).

Zum Beispiel:

I	'm / am	having	a shower at the moment.
He / She / It	's / is	working	in the city.
You We They	're / are	seeing	the doctor on Monday.
