I'm so excited to be teaching you the  present continuous tense in this video.

我很高興能在這個視頻中教你現在的連續時態。

This tense is used to describe: an action that's happening right now,

這個時態用來形容：現在正在發生的動作。

a longer action in progress , and something happening in the near future.

一個正在進行中的較長的行動，以及在不久的將來發生的事情。

There's a lot to learn, but don't worry I'll guide you through it.

要學的東西很多，不過不用擔心，我會指導你的。

Let's get started.

我們開始吧

The present continuous tense is used to talk  about actions that are happening right now.

現在的連續時態用於談論現在正在發生的行動。

For example,

例如：

'I'm teaching English' and 'You are studying English.'

'我在教英語'和'你在學英語'。

Let's take a look at some more examples.

我們再來看看一些例子。

The first sentence says, 'He is watching a movie'.

第一句話說，'他在看電影'。

We start with the subject and a 'be' verb.

我們從主語和一個 "被 "字動詞開始。

In this case, the subject is 'he'.

在這種情況下，主體是'他'。

For 'he' / 'she' and 'it',  we use the 'be' verb 'is'.

對於'他'/'她'和'它'，我們使用'是'動詞'是'。

Then you'll notice I added an '-ing'  to the end of the verb 'watch'.

然後你會注意到我在動詞 "看 "的末尾加了一個"-ing"。

'He is watching a movie.'

'他在看電影。

The next sentence says, 'Tim is playing a computer game.'

下一句話說："蒂姆在玩電腦遊戲"。

He's doing that right now.

他現在就在做這個。

Tim is a 'he', therefore, again  we use the 'be' verb 'is'.

提姆是一個'他'，是以，我們又用'是'動詞'是'。

And again you'll notice I added  '-ing' to the end of the verb.

而且你會再次注意到我在動詞的末尾加了'-ing'。

The next sentence says,

下句說。

'The machine is making a noise.'

'機器在發出聲音。

Now pay attention to the subject, 'the machine'.

現在注意主題，'機器'。

What is the proper pronoun?

正名詞是什麼？

The answer is 'it', therefore  we use the 'be' verb 'is'.

答案是'它'，所以我們用'是'動詞'是'。

'The machine is making a noise.'

'機器在發出聲音。

We can also say, 'It is making a noise'. Or the contraction, 'It's making a noise'.

我們也可以說，'它在製造噪音'。或者收縮語，'它在發出聲音'。

And finally, 'Tom and Ben are speaking English'.

最後，"湯姆和本在說英語"。

In this case, you'll notice  that we use the 'be' verb 'are'.

在這種情況下，你會注意到，我們使用了'be'動詞'are'。

Can you figure out why?

你能找出原因嗎？

That's because Tom and Ben - the subject pronoun for these two is 'they'.

那是因為湯姆和本--這兩個人的主語代詞是 "他們"。

'They are speaking English.'

'他們在說英語。

Let's move on to the next usage.

我們接著說下一個用法。

The present continuous tense is also used to describe a longer action in progress.

現在的連續時態也用於描述正在進行的較長時間的行動。

Even though you might not be  doing the action right now.

儘管你現在可能不會做這個動作。

Let's take a look at some examples.

我們來看看一些例子。

The first sentence says,

第一句話說：

'I'm reading an interesting book these days.'

'我最近在看一本有趣的書。

In this case, the subject is  'I', so the 'be' verb is 'am'.

在這種情況下，主語是'我'，所以'被'動詞是'是'。

In this example, we use the contraction  'I'm' by putting 'I' and 'am' together.

在這個例子中，我們把 "我 "和 "是 "放在一起，使用了 "I'm "這個收縮詞。

Again, you'll notice there's  an '-ing' after the verb.

同樣，你會注意到動詞後面有一個"-ing"。

The next sentence says,

下句說。

'You are studying to become an English teacher.'

'你是學英語老師的。

The subject here is 'you',

這裡的主題是 "你"。

therefore the 'be' verb is 'are'.

所以'be'動詞是'是'。

Next, 'Steven is preparing for the IELTS exam.'

接下來，"史蒂芬正在準備雅思考試"。

The subject here is 'Steven' which is a 'he',

這裡的主體是'史蒂文'，是個'他'。

therefore we use the 'be' verb 'is'.

是以我們用'是'動詞'是'。

And finally, 'John and June are working at a company.'

最後，'約翰和茱恩在一家公司工作'。

If you look at the subject 'John and June', the pronoun for that is 'they'.

如果你看主語'John和June'，那的代詞是'他們'。

That's why we use the 'be' verb 'are'.

所以我們用'是'動詞'是'。

'They are working at a company.'

'他們在一家公司工作。

Let's move on to the next usage.

我們接著說下一個用法。

The present continuous is also used  to talk about near future plans.

現在的連續也用來談論近期的計劃。

Let's take a look.

讓我們一起來看看。

'She is meeting some friends tonight.'

'她今晚要見一些朋友。

That's going to happen in the near future.

這在不久的將來就會發生。

You'll notice that we have 'she', so the 'be' verb is 'is'.

你會注意到我們有 "她"，所以 "被 "動詞是 "是"。

And then we added an '-ing' to the end of the verb 'meet'.

然後我們在動詞 "見面 "的末尾加了一個"-ing"。

The next example says, 'We are going on vacation in July.'

下一個例子說："我們要在7月去度假"。

The subject here is 'we', therefore we use the 'be' verb 'are'.

這裡的主語是'我們'，所以我們用'be'動詞'are'。

We can also use a contraction and say, 'We're going on vacation in July.'

我們也可以用一個收縮詞，說："我們7月要去度假"。

Again, another near future plan.

再次，又是一個近期計劃。

The next example says,

下例說。

'David is learning to drive tomorrow.'

'大衛明天就要學車了。

'tomorrow' is the near future.

'明天'是不久的將來。

'David' is the subject.

'大衛'是主體。

'David' is a 'he', so we use 'is'.

'大衛'是個'他'，所以我們用'是'。

And lastly, 'Vicki and I are teaching English next week.'

最後，"我和Vicki下週要教英語"。

'Vicky and I'… If we think about the subject pronoun is 'we'.

"Vicky和我"，如果我們認為主語代詞是 "我們"。

That's why we used 'are'. 'We are teaching.'

所以我們用了'是'。'我們在教書'

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now let's talk about the negative  form of the present continuous tense.

現在我們來說說現在的連續時態的否定形式。

I have some examples here.

我這裡有一些例子。

These two examples are for actions that are happening right now, or longer actions.

這兩個例子是針對現在正在發生的行動，或者說是較長時間的行動。

These last two are for near future plans.

最後兩個是近期的計劃。

Let's take a look.

讓我們一起來看看。

The first sentence says, 'I am not having fun.'

第一句話說，'我不開心'。

Now that's not true for me because I am having fun,

現在對我來說不是這樣，因為我很開心。

but in this example I am not having fun.

但在這個例子中，我並不開心。

You'll notice that the word 'not' goes  between the 'be' verb and the 'verb -ing'.

你會注意到，"不 "字在 "be "動詞和 "動詞-ing "之間。

In the second example it says, 'Jane isn't doing her homework.'

在第二個例子中，它說："簡沒有做作業。

Here we use the contraction 'isn't' for 'is not',

這裡我們用'不是'的收縮詞'is not'。

so just like the first sentence, we put 'not' between 'is' and 'verb -ing'.

所以就像第一句一樣，我們在 "is "和 "動詞-ing "之間加上 "not"。

The next sentence says, 'You're not seeing him tonight.'

下一句話說："你今晚不見他。

Here we have a contraction for 'you are'.

這裡我們有一個'你是'的收縮詞。

'You're not seeing him tonight.'

'你今晚不能見他。

And finally, 'We are not running tomorrow morning.'

最後，'我們明天早上不跑了'。

Here we have the subject 'we', therefore, we use the 'be' verb 'are'.

這裡我們有主語'我們'，是以，我們用'是'動詞'是'。

Don't forget to add a 'not' after that to make it negative.

不要忘了在後面加上一個 "不是"，使之成為負數。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now let's talk about how to form 'be' verb  questions in the present continuous tense.

現在我們來談談如何在現在的連續時態中形成'be'動詞問題。

The first example here says,

這裡的第一個例子說。

'Is he waiting for you?'

'他在等你嗎？

or 'Is he waiting for you?'

或 "他在等你嗎？

We start with the 'be' verb.

我們從'被'這個動詞開始。

Take a look at the subject though.

不過看看這個題目。

The subject is 'he' and that's why we start with the 'be' verb 'is'.

主語是'他'，所以我們用'是'動詞'是'開頭。

'Is he waiting for you?'

'他在等你嗎？

You can answer, 'Yes, he is.' or 'No he isn't.'

你可以回答："是的，他是。"或者 "不，他不是。

The second sentence says,

第二句話說：

'Are you coming to class?'

'你來上課嗎？

The subject here is 'you' and  that's why we start with 'are'.

這裡的主語是'你'，所以我們用'是'開頭。

'Are you coming to class?'

'你來上課嗎？

You can answer, 'Yes I am.' or 'No, I'm not.'

你可以回答："是的，我是。"或者 "不，我不是。

The next question says, 'Is he preparing to study in Canada?'

下一個問題說："他準備去加拿大留學嗎？"。

The subject is 'he', and so we start with 'is'.

主語是'他'，所以我們從'是'開始。

The answer can be, 'Yes, he is.' or it can also be 'No, he isn't.'

答案可以是 "是的，他是。"也可以是 "不，他不是。

Finally the last question says, 'Are they going out tonight?'

最後一個問題說："他們今晚要出去嗎？"。

The subject here is 'they', and so we start with 'are'.

這裡的主語是'他們'，所以我們以'是'開頭。

The answer can be 'Yes, they are.' or 'No, they aren't.'

答案可以是 "是的，他們是。"或 "不，他們不是。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now let's talk about the WH question  form for the present continuous tense.

現在我們來說說現在的連續時態的WH問句形式。

I have some examples here

我這裡有一些例子

and you'll notice that we start with the WH questions:

你會注意到，我們從WH的問題開始。

what, where, when, who, why, and how.

什麼，在哪裡，什麼時候，誰，為什麼，以及如何。

What comes after?

之後呢？

You'll notice it's the 'be' verbs: 'are', 'is', and if the subject is 'I', 'am'.

你會注意到是'be'動詞：'are'，'is'，如果主語是'我'，則是'am'。

So after that you have the subject and then the verb -ing.

所以在這之後，你有主語，然後是動詞-ing。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我們來看看第一句話。

'What are you doing?'

'你在做什麼？

I'm asking about right now.

我現在就在問。

For example, 'I'm teaching English.'

比如，"我在教英語"。

'Where are you going?' 'I'm going to the store.'

'你要去哪裡？""我要去商店。

'When is it starting?' 'It's starting at 3.'

'什麼時候開始？""3點開始。

I can be talking about a movie a show anything can be 'it'.

我可以說是電影，可以說是節目，任何東西都可以是 "它"。

'Who is she talking to?' 'She's talking to Bob.'

'她在和誰說話？""她在和鮑勃說話。

'Why is she crying?' 'She's crying because she's sad.'

'她為什麼哭？""她哭是因為她很傷心。

And finally, 'How is it going?' 'It's going well.'

最後，"怎麼樣了？""很順利"。

For this checkup of the present continuous tense,

對於本次檢查的現在連續時態。

we'll look at how this tense can be used to  describe an action that's happening right now.

我們來看看如何用這個時態來描述現在正在發生的動作。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我們來看看第一句話。

'You -blank- learning English.'

'你--空白--學英語。

Remember for this tense, we start  with the subject and the 'be' verb

記住這個時態，我們從主語和'be'動詞開始。

and then the verb '-ing'.

然後是動詞'-ing'。

We already have the verb '-ing' here, so we need the 'be' verb.

我們這裡已經有了動詞'-ing'，所以我們需要'be'動詞。

The subject in the first sentence is 'you'.

第一句話的主語是 "你"。

For 'you', 'we', and 'they',  we use the 'be' verb - 'are',

對於'你'、'我們'、'他們'，我們用'be'動詞--'是'。

so the correct answer is,

所以正確答案是：

'You are learning English' right now.

'你現在正在學習英語'。

The next sentence says,

下句說。

'She _blank_ not watching TV.'

'她_blank_不看電視。

This is the negative form of  the present continuous tense.

這是現在的連續時態的否定形式。

We have the word 'not' before the verb '-ing',

我們在動詞"-ing "之前有一個 "不 "字。

However, we're missing the 'be' verb again.

但是，我們又缺少了'被'這個動詞。

What is the be verb to use  if the subject is 'she'?

如果主語是'她'，be動詞該怎麼用？

the correct answer is 'is'.

正確答案是 "是"。

'She is not watching TV.'

'她不看電視。

This one says, 'I _blank_ studying now.'

這個是說："我_空白_現在學習"。

The subject here is 'I'.

這裡的主體是'我'。

Again think of the 'be' verb that goes before the subject 'I'.

再想想主語'我'之前的'被'動詞。

The 'be' verb is 'am'.

'被'動詞是'阿'。

'I am studying now.'

'我現在正在學習。

We can also use a contraction and say, 'I'm studying now'

我們也可以用縮略語，說："我現在正在學習

If we wanted to turn this into the negative form,

如果我們想把這個變成負面形式。

we can also say, 'I'm not studying now.'

我們也可以說："我現在不學習了。

Now, take a look at the next  sentence and find the mistake.

現在，看看下一句話，找到錯誤的地方。

'Layla is watch a movie.'

'雷拉是看電影。

Here we have the subject and the subject pronoun for Layla would be 'she'.

這裡我們有主語，而Layla的主語代詞應該是 "她"。

We have the correct 'be' verb - 'is',

我們有正確的'是'動詞--'是'。

However, you'll notice we forgot  the '-ing' at the end of the verb.

但是，你會注意到我們忘記了動詞末尾的"-ing"。

We need to say, 'watching'.

我們需要說，"看"。

'Layla is watching a movie.'

'雷拉在看電影。

The next sentence says,

下句說。

'They playing soccer now.'

"他們現在在踢球。

What's missing?

缺什麼？

If you got it the correct answer is we need the 'be' verb – 'are'

如果你答對了，正確答案是我們需要 "be "動詞--"are"。

because the subject is 'they'.

因為主體是'他們'。

'They are playing soccer now.'

'他們現在正在踢足球。

And finally, 'What do you do?'

最後，"你是做什麼的？

If you want to ask somebody  what they're doing right now,

如果你想問某人他們現在在做什麼。

you say, 'what'... and the 'be' verb – 'are... you.. doing?'

你說，"什麼"... 和 "是 "動詞 - "是... ... 你... ...

'What are you doing?'

'你在做什麼？

Let's move on to the next practice.

讓我們進入下一個練習。

For this checkup we'll talk about the present continuous tense

這次檢查我們要講的是現在的連續時態。

and how it can be used to describe an action that started in the past and continues today.

以及如何用它來描述始於過去並持續至今的行動。

It's a longer action.

這是一個較長的動作。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我們來看看第一句話。

'He _blank_ studying economics.'

'他_空白_學經濟的。

Remember for this tense, we take the  subject, a 'be' verb, and then verb '-ing'.

記住這個時態，我們取主語，一個'被'動詞，然後動詞'-ing'。

Here we already have the verb '-ing', 'studying'.

這裡我們已經有了動詞'-ing'，'學習'。

So what are we missing?

那我們還缺什麼？

The 'be' verb.

'被'動詞。

The correct 'be' verb for  the subject 'he' is 'is'.

主語 "他 "的正確'是'動詞是'是'。

So, 'He is studying economics.'

所以，"他是學經濟的"。

The next sentence says, 'They're _blank_ for the fight.'

下一句說："他們是_空白_的戰鬥"。

The verb we want to use is 'train'.

我們要用的動詞是 "火車"。

Now we already have the 'be' verb here.

現在我們這裡已經有了'被'這個動詞。

It's in the contraction 'there'  because it's 'they are'.

因為是'他們'，所以用的是'那裡'的縮略語。

All we have to do now is add '-ing' to the verb.

我們現在要做的就是在動詞上加上'-ing'。

'They're training for the fight these days.'

'他們這幾天都在訓練戰鬥。

And 'We _blank_ teaching at the school.'

而'我們_空白_在學校教學。

Again we're missing the 'be' verb.

我們又缺少了'被'這個動詞。

What is the 'be' verb for 'we'?

'我們'的'被'字動詞是什麼？

The correct answer is 'are'.

正確答案是 "是"。

'We are teaching at the school.'

'我們在學校裡教書。

Now let's look for the  mistakes in the next sentence.

現在我們來看看下句中的錯誤。

'Ben is study to become a doctor.'

"本正在學習成為一名醫生。

Can you find the error?

你能找到錯誤的地方嗎？

Well we have the subject and we have the proper 'be verb'.

好吧，我們有了主語，也有了合適的 "be動詞"。

What we're missing is the '-ing' at the end of 'study'.

我們缺少的是 "研究 "後面的"-ing"。

The correct answer is, 'Ben is studying to become a doctor'.

正確答案是："本是學醫的"。

Let's look at the next sentence.

我們看下一句話。

'I don't reading that book.'

'我不看那本書。

hmm

嗯

'I don't reading that book.'

'我不看那本書。

To form the negative in the present continuous, we don't use 'do' or 'does'

為了在現在的連詞中形成否定句，我們不用 "做 "或 "做"。

We use the 'be' verb. What is the be verb for 'I'?

我們用'be'這個動詞。'我'的be動詞是什麼？

The correct answer is 'am'.

正確答案是 "是"。

'I am not reading that book.'

'我不看那本書。

There is no contraction for 'am not'.

'不是'沒有收縮的意思。

Finally, 'They are to learn English.'

最後，'他們要學習英語。

We have the subject and we have the correct 'be' verb,

我們有了主語，也有了正確的 "被 "字動詞。

but remember we need verb '-ing'.

但記住我們需要動詞'-ing'。

Therefore, the correct answer is,

是以，正確答案是：。

'They are learning English.'

'他們正在學習英語。

Let's move on to the next checkup.

我們繼續進行下一次檢查。

For this checkup we'll take a look at how the present continuous tense

這次檢查我們就來看看現在的連續時態是如何的

can be used to talk about future plans.

可以用來談論未來的計劃。

Let's take a look.

讓我們一起來看看。

The first sentence says, 'They're play a game tonight.'

第一句話說，'他們今晚要玩一場遊戲'。

The verb we want to use is 'play'.

我們要用的動詞是 "玩"。

Remember we start with the subject  and here we have it, 'they'.

記住，我們從主語開始，在這裡我們有了主語，"他們"。

Then we have the 'be' verb.

然後我們有'被'動詞。

In this case we used a contraction  for 'they are – 'they're'.
