Thursday, December 8th

Hello!

Today, you classified Rapunzel’s activities into different categories and then you wrote a lesson about Present BE + ING.

What are they doing? 

 They are playing football. 

Le présent BE + ING s'emploie pour parler d'une action en cours au moment où l'on parle.

Construction : Auxiliaire BE (conjugué au présent) + Verbe en -ING
Exemple :
I am playing football.
You are playing football.
He/She/It is playing football.
We are playing football.
They are playing football. 

Négation: I am not..., you are not / aren't..., she is not/ isn't playing football... 

Question: Am I playing football? Are you playing football? Is he playing football? ...

Réponses brèves :
Are they playing football? 

Yes, they are. / No, they aren't. 

Exceptions!

- quand le verbe se termine par un seul 'e', le verbe en -ING perd son 'e'.

Exemple : come > coming.

- quand le verbe fait une syllabe ET quand il se termine par 'consonne-voyelle-consonne', on double la consonne finale.

Exemple : STOP > STOPPING.
