Present Continuous and Its Uses

The present continuous tense is formed using subject + am/are/is + verb-ing.

Definition: The present continuous is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking, temporary actions, and future planned actions.

Come si forma il present continuous:

Positive: Subject + am/are/is + verb-ing
Negative: Subject + am not/aren't/isn't + verb-ing
Question: Am/Are/Is + subject + verb-ing?

Example: "At the moment I'm reading" (action happening now)

Quando si usa il present continuous:

For actions occurring while speaking
For future planned actions (e.g., "Tomorrow I'm meeting my friend")
To express irritation with "always" and "never"

Highlight: State verbs (like have, think, love) are not typically used in continuous tenses.

Simple Past and Present Perfect

The simple past tense is used for actions that started and finished in the past. It's formed by adding -ed to regular verbs, with special rules for verbs ending in 'e', 'y', or consonants.

Example: "I studied English yesterday" (Present simple verbi irregolari follow different patterns)

The present perfect tense is used for actions not situated in a specific past moment or with a present result. It's formed using have/has + past participle.

Definition: The present perfect connects past actions to the present, often used with words like "ever," "never," "just," and "already."

Differenza tra present perfect e past simple:

Past Simple: Used with specific past time expressions (yesterday, last month)
Present Perfect: Used when the time period is not finished or the result is evident in the present

Highlight: "Been" and "gone" have distinct meanings in the present perfect: "been" implies return, while "gone" indicates the subject is still away.

Vedi

Past Continuous and Tense Comparisons

The past continuous tense is formed using was/were + verb-ing. It's used to describe ongoing actions in the past, often interrupted by another action in the simple past.

Example: "Yesterday, while I was playing volleyball, I broke my arm."

This section compares the usage of different tenses, highlighting when to use each one for effective communication.

Highlight: The past continuous is often used in conjunction with the simple past to show an action in progress interrupted by another action.

Vocabulary: Monosyllabic verbs ending in a consonant preceded by a single vowel double the final consonant before adding -ing (e.g., get → getting).
