Atenció:
els verbs: like, know, hate, love, remember, believe, want,
no s'utilitzen normalment en present continu.
Utilitzem
el present continu per expressar:
-
coses que succeeixen en el mateix moment en què es parla.
|
I'm listening to the radio. (Estic escoltant la ràdio.) |
-
accions que només tenen una duració temporal (en contrast
amb accions habituals que s'expressen en present simple)
|
Peter
lives in London but he's living with my grandparents at the
moment.
(En Peter viu a Londres però actualment està vivint
amb els meus pares.) |
-
plans i acords fets prèviament que tindran lloc en el futur.
|
I'm
studying in England next year.
(L'any que ve estudio a Anglaterra.) |
Normalment
s'afegeix una expressió temporal (tomorrow, next week, in July,
next year
).
També
s'utilitza la construcció be going to, tot i que be going
to expressa més aviat la intenció.
|
I'm
going to study in England next year.
(L'any que ve aniré a estudiar a Anglaterra.) |
