Present Progressive, известное также как Present Continuous, — это время в английской грамматике, которое описывает действия, происходящие в текущий момент. Оно образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be в настоящем времени (am/is/are) и основного глагола с окончанием -ing. Например, «I am reading» означает «Я читаю» в данный момент.
Эти упражнения предназначены для практики использования Present Progressive в различных контекстах. Учащиеся должны вставить подходящие формы глаголов, чтобы завершить предложения. Особенностью этих упражнений является то, что они помогают студентам лучше понять, как использовать это время для описания текущих действий и ситуаций.
