I - FORM
*CHÚ Ý NHỮNG VẤN ĐỀ SAU:
 V-ing (Doing): Động từ +ING) visiting going, ending, walking,
Khi thêm -ing sau động từ, có những trường hợp đặc biệt sau:
a/ Nếu như đông từ tận cùng bằng một chữ E: chúng ta bỏ chữ E đó đi rồi mới thêm -ing.
ex: Ride - Riding (lái - đang lái)
b/ Nếu động từ tận cùng có 2 chữ EE, ta thêm -ing bình thường, không bỏ E.
ex: See - Seeing. (nhìn - đang nhìn).
c/ Nếu động từ tận cùng là IE, chúng ta đổi IE thành Y rồi mới thêm -ing
ex: Die - Dying. (chết - đang ).
d/ Nếu động từ 1 am tiet ở cuối có phụ âm, và trước phụ âm mà có một nguyên âm U-E-O-A-I (UỂ
OẢI),, ta phải gấp đôi phụ âm rồi mới thêm ING: cut - cutting run - running
ex: Stop - ở đây ta có O là một nguyên âm, đứng trước phụ âm P ở tận cùng của câu, vì thế chúng ta
gấp đôi phụ âm P lên. Sau đó thêm -ing.
Stop - Stopp - Stopping
Các trường hợp khác ta thêm -ing sau động từ bình thường.
II - CÁCH DÙNG: 1. Diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra ở thời điểm đang nói.
ex: I am reading. ( Tôi đang đọc)
2. Một hành động xảy ra có tính chất tạm thời.
ex: She is working (cô ấy đang làm việc)
3. Một hành động lúc nào cũng xảy ra liên tục. (thường có thêm usually, always trong câu).
ex: I am usually thinking of you (tôi thường nghĩ về bạn).
a. Chỉ một việc đang xảy ra ngay lúc nói chuyện/hiện hành.
Ví dụ: I am reading an English book now.
b. Chỉ việc xảy ra trong tương lai (khi có trạng từ chỉ tương lai).
Ví dụ: I am going to call on Mr. John tomorrow.
