大家知道，谓语的动词用来表示动作（情况）发生时间的各种形式称为时态。
现在进行时表示1、现在（说话的瞬间）正在进行或发生的动作，强调“此时此刻”。E.g. He is reading . They are talking now.
2、当前一段时间内的活动或现阶段正在进行的动作。E.g. They are working these days.
3、某些动词的现在进行时，表预定的计划或即将发生的动作。E.g I am coming.
其结构为be+现在分词. 现在分词的变法有
1、一般在动词词尾加上-ing ,E.g. jump
2、以不发音字母e结尾的动词，先去e，再加-ing. E.g have write
3、.以重读闭音节末尾只有一个辅音字母结尾的词，它前面是单个元音字母时要先将词尾的辅音字母双写，再加上-ing. E.g. sit put
其句式变换都在be上做文章。
E.g. He is buying a bike.
Is he buying a bike?
He isn’t buying a bike.
一般由look,listen,now, at this moment等时间状语做标志。
尽管现在进行时比较简单，但在做题过程中也常会犯一些错误，常见的错误有如下几种：
自我检测
（一） 、单选
1、 Look! He _____their mother do the housework.
A. is helping B. are help C. is help D.is helpping
2 、_____are the boys doing ? They are singing in the room.
A .Who B .How C.What D.Where
3、 Don’t talk here. My mother _____.
A. is sleeping B .are sleeping C. sleeping D .sleep
4 、Danny ______. Don’t call him.
A. is writeing B .is writing C.writing D .writes
5 、–When_____he_____back?
– Sorry, I don’t know.
A. does,come B.are coming C.is come D.is coming
答案：A C A B D
（二）、填空
1、 It’s ten o’clock. My mother _____(lie)in bed.
2、 What____he _____(mend)?
3、 We _____(play)games now.
4、 What ____you____(do) these days?
5、 ____he ___(clean) the classroom?
6、 Who____(sing)in the next room?
7 、The girl____(like)wearing a sweater. Look! She ____(wear)a red sweater today.
答案：1 is lying 2 is mending 3 are playing 4 are doing
5 Is cleaning 6 is singing 7 likes ; is wearing
一、把动词变成现在分词形式易出错
例：1、They are swiming.(swim)
2 、Jenny is plaiing(play)football.
答案：1.swimming 2 .playing
解析：动词变现在分词可有如下口诀:“一添一去y不变”. “一添”指双写规则；“一去”指去掉不发音字母e规则；“y不变”指要与名词变复数区分开。
二、丢掉be动词或忘记把动词变成现在分词
例：1、 Look,two children flying.(fly) a kite in the park.
2 、Li Mingisn’t read ( not read) a book in bed now.
答案：1 are flying 2 isn’t reading
解析:现在进行时肯定句的结构规律为: “be+现在分词,缺一不可”。这一点必须牢记。
三、对动词或动词词组提问时丢掉doing
例：1 、The students are singing in the room.(对划线部分提问)
What are the students in the room?
答案：What are the students doing in the room?
解析:现在进行时态中对动作提问可记住此句式“What +be +主语+doing+其它?”
或简写为“What......doing......”?句式。
四、现在进行时态的选择疑问句中易忽视or后用现在分词形式
例：孩子们在跑还是在跳？
Are the children running or jump?
答案：Are the children running or jumping?
解析: or连接的是两个并列成分，动词形式须一致。
