（1）在英文中若想表达此刻正在进行的动作或事件，要用动词的现在进行时形式。现在进行时由be的现在时形式（am, is, are）+现在分词组成。如课文中的Shes sitting under the tree 和Hes climbing the tree等句子均为现在进行时。对大多数动词来说，在动词后面直接加-ing即可构成现在分词，如doing, climbing。以-e结尾的动词，要去掉-e，再加-ing，如making。如果动词只有一个元音字母而其后跟了一个辅音字母时，则需将与辅音字母双写，再加-ing，如running, sitting。
（2）疑问式：将用了现在进行时的句子变成一般疑问句时只需将助动词提前。如：
Hes reading a magazine.
Is he reading a magazine? 他正在看一本杂志吗？
（3）否定式：现在进行时的否定式是将否定词not放在助动词之后。如：
The dog is drinking its milk.
The dog is not drinking its milk. 狗没在喝它的那份牛奶。 练习答案 Key to written exercises
