現在進行形
現在進行形(Present Continuous/Present Progressive)は、今起こっている、または現在起こっている行動を表すために使われます。'be'の現在形 + 動詞-ingで構成されます。
現在進行形にはさまざまな使い方があります。今この瞬間に起こっている行動、一時的な状況、未来の予定、さらには厄介な習慣を表すことができます。このテンスをいつ使うかを理解することが、自然な英語を話すコツです。
作り方
肯定文
現在進行形はam/is/are + 動詞-ingで作ります。すべての動詞に同じ構造が使われます。短縮形('m、's、're)は話し言葉では一般的です。
| 完全形 | 短縮形 |
|---|---|
| I am sleeping | I'm sleeping |
| You are working | You're working |
| He is / She is / It is studying | He's / She's / It's studying |
| We are learning | We're learning |
| They are playing | They're playing |
否定文
動詞'be'の後に'not'を加えて否定文を作ります。短縮形はよく使われます。
| 完全形 | 短縮形 |
|---|---|
| I am not studying | I'm not studying |
| You are not playing | You aren't playing |
| He is not / She is not reading | He isn't / She isn't reading |
| It is not raining | It isn't raining |
| We are not cooking | We aren't cooking |
| They are not listening | They aren't listening |
はい/いいえの質問
はい/いいえの質問を形成するには、主語の前にam/is/areを置きます。
例文:
- Am I eating chocolate?
- Are you studying now?
- Is he working?
- Is she doing her homework?
- Is it raining?
- Are we meeting at six?
- Are they coming?
疑問詞の質問
疑問詞の質問の場合、質問の最初に疑問詞を追加します。
例文:
- Why am I eating chocolate?
- What are you studying now?
- When is he working?
- What is she doing?
- Why is it raining?
- Who are we meeting?
- How are they travelling?
使い方
⚠️ 注意:状態動詞(love、know、believeなど)は通常、進行形では使われません。これらは行動ではなく状態を説明します。
