Understanding the continuous tenses in Thai grammar is an essential aspect of mastering the language. Unlike English, Thai does not use auxiliary verbs like ‘am’, ‘is’, ‘are’, etc. to indicate continuous or progressive tenses. Instead, Thai employs specific markers such as กำลัง (gamlang), ขณะนี้ (khanani), and others placed before the main verb to reflect continuous action. Comparing these continuous tenses gives deeper insight into conveying ongoing actions or states accurately in the Thai language.
