_____________________________________________ THERE IS, THERE ARE To talk about the existence of something, we use the verb form
"there is". Although the word "there" is not exactly a noun, it permits
us to conserve the NOUN - VERB word order of declarations, and the
VERB - SUBJECT word order of questions.

PLURAL: there are are there?
CONTRACTIONS: there is there's
there is not there's not there isn't
there are XXX
there are not XXX there aren't
is there? XXX
XXX* isn't there?
are there? XXX
XXX* aren't there?
* XXX We never say: "is not there?" or "are not there?"
EXAMPLES: -Are there cities on the moon?
No, there aren't.
-Is there an elephant in this room?
No, there isn't. / No there's not.
-Is there a chair in this room?

1. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE
The present progressive expresses an activity that is in progress (is occurring, is happening) right now. The event is in progress at the time the speaker is saying the sentence. The event began in the past, is in
progress now, and will probably continue into the future.
1. AFFIRMATIVE FORM
SUBJECT+ BE+ V-ING+C
She is taking a shower.
They are crying at home.
Juan is listening to the teacher.
Carol and her boyfriend are working together.
2. NONPROGRESSIVE VERBS
(a) I hear a bird. It is singing. (b) I’m hungry. I want a sandwich. (c) This book belongs to Mikhail.
Some verbs are not used in progressive tenses. Correct: I have a bird (right now). Incorrect: I am hearing a bird (right now).
NONPROGRESSIVE VERBS hear believe be own need like forget see think* exist have* want love remember understand possess prefer hate know belong
• Sometimes think and have are used in progressive tenses.
COMPARE:
I think that grammar is easy. When think means believe, it is
nonprogressive.
I am thinking about grammar right now. When think expresses
thoughts that are going through a person’s mind, it can be
progressive.
Tom has a car. When have expresses possession, it is not used
in the present progressive.
I’m having a good time. In certain idiomatic expressions (e.g.,
have a good time), have can be used in the present
progressive.
3. SPELLING OF THE “-ING FORMS”
RULES EXAMPLES a. When the simple form of a verb ends in
a single (e),the (e) is dropped before adding (ing).
The exception is: Be – Being
have having write writing choose choosing use using
b. When a one-syllable verb ends in a single consonant (excepting w, x, and y) preceded by one vowel, the consonant is
doubled before adding (ing). A final consonant preceded by two vowels
is Not doubled.
sit sitting stop stopping run running look looking wear wearing
c. When a verb of more than one syllable ends in a single consonant preceded by one vowel, the final consonant is double
when the last syllable is stressed.
The final consonant is not doubled when the last syllable is unstressed.
admit admitting forget forgetting prefer preferring begin beginning listen listening remember remembering
d. When the simple form of a verb ends in (ie), the (e) is dropped and the (i)
is changed to (y) before adding (ing).
die dying tie tying lie lying
e. In all other cases, (ing) is added to the simple form.
do doing see seeing stand standing study studying wash washing
4. NEGATIVE FORM
We form the negative by adding “not” after the verb “be”. For example: *She is not working for Texaco.
*We are not living in Mexico.
*Peter is not playing with his toys.
*Laura and John are going shopping.
*The students are not practicing their exercises.
*I am not selling in a store.
*You are not keeping that in a safe place.
SUBJECT+BE+NOT+V-ING+C
5. YES-NO QUESTIONS
We form the interrogative form by changing the position of the
subject and the verb “be”.
Examples: *Is she sleeping on a bed?
Yes, she is.
No, she isn’t.
*Are they reading a book at the institute?
Yes, they are.
No, they aren’t.
*Are you listening to your teacher right now?
Yes, I am.
No. I am not.
*Is the sky getting dark?
Yes, it is.
No, it isn’t.
6. INFORMATION QUESTIONS
To form the information questions we need to use the “question
words”, they are the following: When, Who, What, Where, Why.
BE+SUBJECT+V-ING+C+?
Question word + conjugate the helping verb 'be' + subject + verb + -ing
What am I are you
is he is she
is it are we are you are they
doing this afternoon?
When is he working at home?
Right how.
