Present continuous and Gerunds

🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🌾🌿☘🍀

 

ALL the "continuous" and progressive tenses (past, present, future, perfect) ALWAYS have 2 elements:

-Verb "be" (was, were, am, is, are, been)

-A gerund (verb + ing)

NEVER combine verb "be" with do, does, don't, doesn't in the present continuous/ progressive.

Depending on what you want to communicate, you can use the stative verbs in gerund form.

For example:

Right now, I am thinking about the answer

(Here, it's correct because it is something happening in this moment).

I usually think about the future and how I can prepare for it.

(Here, you are talking about a habit and not something happening at the moment).

Both "will" and "going to" can be used to talk about the future.
