Present continuous tense mind map guide
The present continuous tense describes actions happening now or around the present time. It is formed with am, is or are plus the -ing form of a verb. A good mind map divides the tense into its form, its main uses, the spelling rules for adding -ing, and the words that signal it, so each part is easy to review and connect.
- Form: subject, auxiliary verb to be, and the -ing verb
- Uses: actions in progress, temporary situations, planned futures
- Spelling rules: dropping silent e, doubling consonants, changing ie to y
- Time signals: now, at the moment, right now, these days
- Stative verbs: verbs like know, like and believe that usually avoid this tense
Use the map to check the form, practice the spelling rules and sort example sentences by use. Once you have your own grammar notes, CogniGuide can turn them into a personalized present continuous map you can expand and quiz yourself on.
