English Grammar 2 (Progressive Tenses)

Okay here is part 2 of 4 of my English Grammar... this one is all about progressive tenses...

Again if anyone knows a good way of memorising these tenses please tell me! I have also decided i am going to take my grammar test on the 20th of May and I need to get more than 85% to beat my boyfriends score!

Okay so progressive tenses, a little harder than the simple ones....

Past Progressive : Is used to talk about something that happened at a specific time in the past.

Subject +was/were+ -ing form of verb + compliment.

Examples:

I was swimming yesterday afternoon.
You were laughing at that joke I told earlier.
I was having an amazing dream, when I woke up.

Present Progressive: Is used to talk about an action that is taking place at the moment of speaking.

Subject + to be +  -ing form of verb

Examples:

I am currently writing a blog.
She is dancing right now.
We are watching a movie at the moment, I can't talk to you.

Future Progressive: Used to talk about something that will be in progress in the future.

Subject + will be + present participle (base verb + -ing)

Examples:

I will be leaving soon.
You won't be going to school tomorrow.
I will be see my brother next week.


Aaand that's all for this post's grammar ... Next time is Perfect tenses~ much more harder I think than these ones!

Until Next Time!
