Present Continuous Verbs Form 2

"Present Continuous Verbs Form 2" 



The Writing Classroom prompt for February 9, 2017 is "As writers we use verbs every day. It behooves us to understand what type of verbs we are using or at least have some knowledge of them. Yesterday we began looking at present continuous verbs. We found that present continuous verbs have 4 forms: something which is true in the moment but may not be true later, longer actions in progress now, near future, and repetition and irritation with "always".

Today we are going to study the second form, longer actions in progress now. An example may be "I am becoming an airline pilot eventually."

Your assignment is to write four sentences using the longer actions in progress now form of present continuous verbs."

1.. I will be a licensed truck driver someday,

2. I am studying to become a teacher.

3. When I finish seminary I will become an ordained minister.

4. The parade is preparing to start.
