USOS

● Expressa ação que está ocorrendo no momento em que se fala ou que acaba de ocorrer,
geralmente com advérbios de tempo now, at the moment, just, etc.

Exemplo: - What are you doing now? - I am just finishing my work.

● Ações presentes, mesmo que não estejam ocorrendo exatamente no momento da fala,
mas que se repetem habitualmente.

Exemplo: Paul is still working at C&A.

● Ações repetidas frequentemente, com advébios de frequência.

Exemplo: My father is always watching TV.

● Ações planejadas para um futuro próximo, geralmente com verbos de movimento e advérbios temporais.

Exemplos: My girfriend is leaving tomorrow. / Our English teacher is coming from the US next week.


Não são geralmente usados no Present Continuous, mesmo relacionando-se
a algo que esteja ocorrendo no momento em que se fala, verbos que indicam:

→ sensação, percepção: see, hear, appear, taste, notice, realize.

→ estados da mente, sentimento, relacionamento: believe, think, forget,
hate, like, love, know, need, prefer, want, think.

→ posse: belong, have, own.


Com tais verbos, chamados stative verbs, usa-se o Simple Present, o qual veremos adiante.

Eis alguns exemplos: I see an island / I have a sore throat / I know what you mean
I understand what you say / I think that is true


Porém, quando esses verbos não possuem os significados acima,
podem ser usados no Present Continuous.

Exemplos: I'm seeing (visitando) my cousins after tomorow.
I'm thinking (pensando) about the game.


Tais regras valem para o inglês gramatical, porém no coloquial
costuma-se usar os stative verbs no Present Continuous: I'm loving you so much.

1. Aos verbos terminados em E, elimina-se essa letra e acrescenta-se -ING.

Exemplos: dance - dancing / smoke - smoking

(!) Exceção: be - being


2. Aos verbos terminados em IE, elimina-se essas letras e acrescenta-se - YING.

Exemplos: lie - lying / tie - tying


3. Aos verbos terminados em C, acrescenta-se K e depois -ING.

Exemplos: traffic - trafficking / picninc - picnicking


4. Em caso de verbos monossilábicos com sequência CONSOANTE + VOGAL + CONSOANTE, repete-se a
consoante final e acrescenta-se -ING, à exceção de verbos terminados em W, X, Y.

Exemplos: hug - hugging / stop - stopping / set - setting

Mas: fix - fixing / play - playing / grow - growing


5. Em caso de verbos cuja terminação é CONSOANTE + VOGAL + CONSOANTE, eles também têm dobrada a consoante final se a última sílaba for tônica (oxítona).

Exemplos: permit - permitting / prefer - preferring

Mas: offer - offering

Exceção: No inglês britanico, admite-se dobrar a consoante final mesmo em não se tratando de oxítona.

Exemplo: travel - travelling


Não há alterações ortográficas em outros casos, tais como:

● Verbos terminados em I e Y.

Exemplos: cry - crying / ski - skiing

● Verbos terminados em ING, EE, YE, OE, GE.

Exemplos: agree - agreeing / bring - bringing / dye - dyeing / hoe - hoeing / singe - singeing

* Pronome é a palavra variável que substitui ou acompanha o nome.





* Os subject personal pronouns são usados como sujeito da oração, evêm sempre antes do verbo.


Exemplo: They (subj.) love ( v.)this song.


* Os object personal pronouns são usados como objeto da oração, e vêm sempre após o verbo.


Exemplo: Jake and Carl love (v.) it (obj).


* Após preposições (at / of / to / for / with, etc.), usa-se sempre objective pronoun, quer seja sujeito ou objeto na oração.


Exmeplo: Any of (p.) them (obj.) will travel to the Bahamas this year.


* Quando precedidos de verbo, o objeto é direto. Quando precedidos de preposição, trata-se de objeto indireto.

- Há frases, contudo, em que se usa os dois objetos, direto e indireto.


Exemplos: We brought you something. Enfatiza-se o objeto direto = v. + obj. indireto + obj. direto


We brought something to you. Enfatiza-se o objeto indireto = v. + obj. d. + obj.i.
