The Present Continuous - Part II

Hello!

In this post we're going to see the Negative Form of The Continuous Present.
If you don't remember the Afirmattive Form, click here.

To use the Negative Form, we just add a "not" after the Verb To Be.

Observe:
I am not
You are not
He is not
She is not
It is not
We are not
They are not

And this is the contracted/shortened form of the verb To Be:
I'm not
You're not/ You aren't
He's not/ He isn't
She's not/ She isn't
It's not/ It isn't
We're not/ We aren't
They're not/ They aren't

To say something in the Negative Form of The Continuous Present, we must use the verb To Be + "not" + a verb ending in "-ing":
"He's not working now."
"They're not telling stories about their past."
"I am not using my computer."

REMEMBER:
The Continuous Present Tense can be used when you want to talk about something that's happening in the moment you speak.

See you!

Hello!

Nesse post veremos a Forma Negativa do Present Continuous.
Caso não se lembre da Forma Afirmativa, clique aqui.

Para formarmos a Forma Negativa, devemos colocar a palavra "not" depois do Verbo To Be.

Observe:
I am not
You are not
He is not
She is not
It is not
We are not
They are not

E temos a forma contraída do Verbo To Be:
I'm not
You're not/ You aren't
He's not/ He isn't
She's not/ She isn't
It's not/ It isn't
We're not/ We aren't
They're not/ They aren't

Para formarmos uma frase na Forma Negativa do Present Continuous, devemos colocar o verbo To Be +  "not" + mais um verbo com terminação "-ing":
"He's not working now."
("Ele não trabalhando agora.")
"They're not telling stories about their past."
("Eles não estão contando histórias sobre o passado deles.")
"I am not using my computer."
("Eu não estou usando meu computador.")

LEMBRE-SE:
O Tempo Verbal do Present Continuous pode ser usado quando se quer falar sobre algo que está acontecendo no momento da fala.
