I am trying to think of a good answer.
To form a progressive tense use the helping verb to beand the present participle (the -ing form of the verb)Progressives can be in the present past and future and can also be perfectpresent progressive I am workingpast progressive I was workingfuture progressive I will be workingPerfect progressivespresent perfect progressive I have beenworkingpast perfect progressive I had been workingfuture perfect progressive I will have beenworkingFe Maria Finch BA English
A verb is needed for the present progressive tense. Horses is a plural noun.Example of horse as the subject of a sentence in the present progressive tense: The horses are galloping.
Present progressive is formed with am/is/are and a present participle (-ing form of a verb).Present progressive of study:I am studyingWe/You/They are studyingHe/She/It is studying
past ordinary form
He eats a feast while the others are starving to death?This sentence has present simple - eatsand present contiuous - are starving.If you use present perfect and present contiuous/progressive the sentence would be:He has eaten a feats while the others are starving to death.
All progressive tenses (past, present, and future) and all perfect progressive tenses (past, present, and future) use a present participle.
To conjugate the progressive tenses, conjugate only the part of the tense phrase that is part of the conjugation the verb "to be" and add to that the present participle of the principal verb. Example with principal verb "go": "I am going, I was going, I have been going, I had been going" for the first person singular present, past, present perfect, and past perfect tenses respectively.
Standing is not past tense. It is the present participle of the verb "stand". Present participles require the use of auxiliary verbs to show tense. Examples: was/were standing (past progressive) am/is/are standing (present progressive) will be standing (future progressive) Stood is the past tense of stand.
The form of the verb provides this information, although sometimes it needs to be clarified. There are some verbs (such as read) that use the same spelling for the present tense and the past tense. Example: He runs is the present tense. (He is running) He ran is the past tense. (He was running) He will run is the future tense. (He will be running)
The present continuous/it's also called present progressive. (At the moment , here and now + you can use it for picture descriptions.)
I will be present at the meeting. She will take the present with her.
("Is" is the present tense, third person singular ot the verb to be.)This is a sentence with several monosyllabic words in it.That is an example of how to use the word 'is'.He is short and she is tall, but it is not usually a problem.
