Rules
2.3. Usage of Present Continuous
1. To express the idea that something is happening now or at the time speaking
and something is not happening now.
Example: You are learning English now.
You are not swimming now.
Are you sleeping?
I am sitting.
I am not standing.
Is he sitting or standing?
They are reading their books.
They are not watching television.
What are you doing?
Why aren't you doing your homework?
2. Longer Actions in Progress Now.
Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.)
I am studying to become a doctor.
I am not studying to become a dentist.
I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.
I am not reading any books right now.
Are you working on any special projects at work?
Aren't you teaching at the university now?
3. Repetition and Irritation with Always.( The present continuous with words
such as always or constantly expresses the idea that something irritating or
shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like simple present, but with
negative emotion. Remember to put the words always or constantly between be
and verb+ing.)
Examples: She is always coming to class late.
He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up.
I don't like them because they are always complaining.

already been made.
Examples: We’re moving to Cambridge in July.
Aren’t you playing tennis on Saturday?
Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
Isn't he coming with us tonight?
5. Tamporary actions.
Examples:
Peter is laughing. (it happening now but will stop very soon)
I am living in a hotel. (at the moment I am living but it will finish soon)
My boss is travelling to new York. (also here the action of travelling will finish soon)

III. BE GOING TO
We can express the future with "be going to + infinitive." In this section,
we'll look at how to form the future simple using "going to" as well as when to use
this tense.
3.1. Form:
• Positive
𝑎𝑚
Subject + { 𝑖𝑠 } + going to + [ verb in simple form ] + ……..
𝑎𝑟𝑒

• Negative
𝑎𝑚
Subject + { 𝑖𝑠 } + not + going to + [ verb in simple form ] + ……..
𝑎𝑟𝑒

• Question
𝑎𝑚
( Wh- question ) + { 𝑖𝑠 } + subject + not + going to + [ verb in simple form ] + …..
𝑎𝑟𝑒

Note: I + am/ You, We, They + are / He, She, It + is

I am not = I’m not / You are not = You aren’t / She is not = She isn’t.
Example:
I am going to see a play tonight. (I'm going to see a play tonight.)
Look at those clouds. It's going to rain soon.
He's going to tell his boss he's resigning today.
We're not going to see my mother this summer.
Who is going to read the next paragraph?
Are you going to speak at the conference?
Is he going to cry again today?
Aren't they going to fly to their daughter's wedding in Los Angeles?
Remember: contractions are common in spoken and informal English.

Pronunciation Note: When we speak, we also often say "gonna" instead of "going
to." We shorten and push the words together so that we can speak more quickly. For
example, I'm going to play tennis this afternoon sounds like: Aym gonna play
tennis...

3.2. Rules
1. To describe a planned action that will happen in the near future. In this
situation, we've already decided or planned this action. [Future planned action]
Example: What are you going to wear to the dance.
Next week I'm going to start a new diet.
I'm really tired so I'm going to sleep early tonight.
We are going to go to Cambodia to see the Olympic Games.

2. To express a prediction (a guess or estimate) about what may happen in the

future based on what is happening right now.
[Prediction based on present situation]
Example: It's 7 PM and the sun is going down. It's going to be dark soon.
Look at the line. It's going to take a long time to get a table.
The sun is coming out. It's going to be a beautiful day after all.
3. give commands or state that something is obligatory [parent to a child].
Example: You’re going to pick up all of those toys right now.
This room is a mess!
Note:
• that we can also use be going to with be in other tenses, for example:
I was going to tell him but I forgot.
I had been going to fix the car for ages.
• be going to can also be used with a past participle:
They are going to have finished by tomorrow afternoon. They will have
finished by tomorrow afternoon.
(However, will is used much more frequently in this type of construction: They
will have finished...).

3.3. Difference between present continuous and be going to

Both going to and present continuous are used to talk about future actions and
events that have some present reality. So, for example, if we say that something is
happening or going to happen, it is usually already decided or planned.
Example: We are going to get new windows.
We are getting new windows.

• Both present continuous and be going to can be used to express the same idea. In
some cases, there is a difference of meaning.
Example:
▪ I am going to get a new job. (= I intend to get a job.)
▪ I am getting a new job. (= It is already decided / arranged.
Here the focus is on the arrangement.)
▪ What are you doing this evening? (A question about arrangements)
▪ Are you going to do anything about that letter you received from the civic
authorities? (A question about the intentions of the listener)
▪ I am seeing Peter tomorrow. (Here the emphasis is on the arrangement that
already exists.)
▪ I am going to ask him to stop borrowing my car. (Here the emphasis is on the
intentions of the speaker.)

Events outside people’s control

We do not normally use the present continuous to talk about events that are outside
people’s control.
Example: It is going to snow before long. (NOT It is snowing before long.)
Look at the sky. It is going to rain.
Prices are going to fall.
The sentences ‘It is raining’ and ‘Prices are falling’ have altogether
different meanings.

They are used to talk about actions or situations that are in progress at the
moment. Be going to is only used to talk about future events.
