Verbos - Present Continuous

O Presente Contínuo é usado para descrever uma ação que está acontecendo agora. É um tempo verbal que expressa ações (atividades, situações) que estão ocorrendo no momento em que se fala, ou se estendem por um período de tempo limitado. Geralmente vem acompanhado da expressão now (agora) ou at the moment (no momento).
Para formar o Present Continuous utilizamos o presente do verbo to be (estar) junto com o particípio presento (ing) do verbo principal.

Ex.

Singular
I	am	playing
You	are
He She It	is

Plural
We	are	playing
You
They

I am studying English now.
She's working at a public school.

É usado com advérbios de tempo e de freqüência, como:
now, at the moment, at present, etc.

Formação
Sujeito + verbo To Be + verbo no particípio presente + complemento.

Pronome Pessoal	Verbo To Be	Verbo no particípio presente	complemento
I	am	studying	Portuguese now.

As formas afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa do presente contínuo são feitas de acordo com o verbo To Be.

1. She is studying now.
She - Sujeito

You - Sujeito
are - Verbo To Be
playing - Verbo principal no particípio presente
3. Jonny is sleeping right now.
4. I need an umbrella because it is raining.
5. Jonny and Wilson are talking on the phone.

Forma Interrogativa
(Verbo To Be + Sujeito+ Verbo-ING + Complemento-?)

1. Is she studying now?
is - verbo To Be
She - Sujeito
Studying - verbo principal no particípio presente

2. Are you playing soccer?

Formação do ING

1. Qualquer verbo recebe "ing".

Ex:
Working, walking, going

2. Verbos terminados em e perdem o e recebem ing.
Ex.:
to make => She is making a cake.
to write => I am writing.

3. Verbos terminados em "ie" Perdem o "ie" e recebem "ying"

Ex:
Tie - Tying
Die - Dying
Lie - Lying

4. Verbos monossilábicos, terminados em consoante, vogal, consoante: repete-se a última consoante e depois acrescenta-se "ing".

Ex:
Run - Running
Stop - Stopping
Sit - Sitting

5. Verbos de duas sílabas, terminados em consoante-vogal-consoante, quando a última sílaba é tônica seguem a mesma regra dos verbos monossilábicos.

Ex:
Begin - Beginning
Prefer - Preferring

Com exceção de:

*Travel
- Traveling - Inglês Americano
- Travelling - Inglês Britânico.

Usos do ING:

1. Adjetivo:
A forma "ING" também é usada na formação de adjetivos.
Adjetivos - são aquelas palavras que modificam o substantivo. Em inglês os adjetivos são invariáveis e normalmente vêm antes do substantivo, ou seja, enquanto em português dizemos "Carros vermelhos", em inglês dizemos "Red cars".

1. Complete the following table. (Complete a seguinte tabela)
2. English speaking Canadians. (Canadenses falantes de inglês)
3. All living things. (Todas as coisas vivas)
4. The resulting centrifugal force. (A força centrífuga resultante)
5. A new type of self-winding watch. (Um novo tipo de relógio automático)
6. Sea-going ships. (Navios marítimos)

2. Depois de Verbos (gerúndio)
Se um verbo segue outro em inglês, muitas vezes a forma "ING" é exigida.
Ex.:

1. I stopped eating meat. (Eu parei de comer carne)
2. It started raining. (Começou a chover)
3. He finished doing his work. (Ele acabou de fazer seu trabalho)
4. I enjoy getting up early. (Eu gosto de levantar cedo)

3. Depois de Preposições (gerúndio)
Preposições são aquelas palavras tais como: in, of, about, before, for, at, with, by, after, se um verbo vier depois de uma preposição, a forma "ING" é exigida.
1. He was interested in playing tennis. (Ele estava interessado em jogar tenis)
2. I am thinking of changing my job. (Eu estou pensando em mudar meu trabalho)

4. Particípio:
Esse caso do uso da forma "ING" envolve o particípio.
Ex.:

1. John is the boy sitting in the corner. (John é o menino que está sentado no canto)
2. I hurt my leg playing tennis. (Eu machuquei minha perna jogando tênis)
3. The woman talking to Peter is my boss. (A mulher que está falando com Peter é minha chefe)
4. All those people waiting outside want to see you. (Todas aquelas pessoas que estão esperando querem ver você)

Dicas:

O presente contínuo é usado quando falamos de ações que estão acontecendo agora, neste exato momento, mas podemos utilizá-lo para falar de planos para o futuro próximo, basta utilizar a forma do verbo mais uma expressão que indica o futuro.

O uso de ING

O uso de ING em Inglês

O uso do sufixo ING em Inglês está longe de ser apenas o Present Continuous. O Present Continuous menciona a ação em andamento no presente e é formado pelo verbo to be (am, is e are) e um verbo qualquer no gerúndio, ou seja, com o acréscimo do sufixo ING.

She is working at the moment.
They are watching TV now.

Outros casos:
1) Present Perfect Continuous - É a tal ação em andamento de cima que envolve um tempo decorrido, geralmente usando SINCE e FOR
I have been waiting for you for 2 hours ( since 7 o'clock)
I've been keeping this secret since I was a child.

2) Past Perfect Continuous - É uma ação em andamento no passado antes de outra ação no passado.
She had been studying for 2 hours when they got home.

3) Past Continuous - É simplesmente uma ação em andamento no passado.
I didn't go there because it was raining.


Temos então acima os casos que representam as ações em andamento.
Há ainda outros casos relacionados a verbos e até a outras classes gramaticais:

Verbos:
4) Usamos o verbo com ING depois de uma preposição. Mas o sentido, ou uma eventual tradução, continuam no infinitivo:

I am interested in studying French.

5) Usamos após alguns verbos
They avoid talking to her when he is near.
She stopped reading when he got home.

6) Como sujeito de frase:

Smoking is not good for your health.

7) Adjetivo

I had a tiring day yesterday.

8) Substantivo
What a wonderful building !

I found a great site about food, see the source:

The Tapeworm Diet

If you eat for two and aren’t pregnant, maybe it’s time to get a second mouth in your belly. A tapeworm can sure help eat all of that excess food. Around the turn of the century, these little parasites were sold in a simple pill form claiming to help you shed inches from your waist. It’s uncertain whether these pills actually had live tapeworms or if they were just another “snake oil” product, but what is certain is that people have intentionally used tapeworms as a weight loss method. Jockeys are amongst the many people purported to have used tapeworms as a diet.

Possible Side Effects May Include: Well for one, having a worm inside your stomach, which might cause nausea, headaches, infections and diarrhea. Some people’s organs are blocked by the eggs and this can result in death. There is no evidence that tapeworms actually help people lose much of weight, so the whole experience may be for nothing.

The Sleeping Beauty Diet

You can’t eat while you sleep. So naturally, if you sedate yourself for days and neglect to eat as a result, this starvation diet may actually work for you. Elvis was a proponent of this weight loss method around the end of his life and the dieting method was also made popular in Valley of the Dolls.

Possible Side Effects May Include: A severe pill hangover can leave you with a headache, nausea and fatigue. Additionally, improper sedation might actually kill you and so might starvation.

Source
The Vision Diet

If your food looks disgusting, you’re less likely to eat it. While this is certainly true, it’s not enough to make the vision-dieter glasses any less silly. From the testimonials I’ve read, the glasses make you feel relaxed while going on your day to day routine, but they don’t help you lose much weight. Johnny Depp is a big fan of blue glasses, although it’s hard to say if he just likes their look or if he actually feels the effects from the lens color.

Possible Side Effects May Include: Looking like a geek in big blue glasses. Possible vision problems after prolonged exposure to the glasses.
