Rules and Points to Remember When Using the Present Continuous Tense When using the present continuous tense, make sure you follow the sentence structure exactly. Always start with the subject when it is a positive or negative sentence and with the helping verb when it is in the interrogative format. A sentence with the present continuous tense consists of a helping verb ‘to be’ form of verbs and a main verb. The helping verbs can be ‘am’ for the pronoun ‘I’, ‘is’ for singular subject and ‘are’ for a plural subject. Just note that like the other pronouns, the pronoun ‘am’ cannot be used in the negative form in an interrogative sentence. Instead of ‘amn’t’, ‘aren’t’ is used. For example Amn’t I reading a newspaper? Wrong Aren’t I reading a newspaper? Correct The present continuous tense can never be used with stative verbs. Uses of the Present Continuous Tense Like the simple present tense, the present continuous tense is also generally used to talk about an action that is taking place in the present. The only difference is that it denotes an action that is continuing to happen or progressing at the current moment.
