현재진행형
현재진행형(Present Continuous/Present Progressive)은 지금 일어나고 있거나 현재 진행 중인 행동을 설명하는 데 사용됩니다. 'be'의 현재형 + 동사-ing로 구성됩니다.
현재진행형은 다양한 용법이 있습니다. 지금 일어나고 있는 행동, 임시적 상황, 미래 계획, 심지어 짜증나는 습관을 설명할 수 있습니다. 이 시제를 언제 사용할지 이해하는 것이 자연스러운 영어를 말하는 핵심입니다.
형성
긍정형
현재진행형을 am/is/are + 동사-ing로 구성합니다. 모든 동사에 동일한 구조를 사용합니다. 축약형('m, 's, 're)은 일상 영어에서 흔합니다.
| 완전형 | 축약형 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
부정형
동사 'be' 뒤에 'not'을 추가하여 부정문을 만듭니다. 축약형이 일반적으로 사용됩니다.
| 완전형 | 축약형 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
예/아니오 질문
예/아니오 질문을 형성하려면 주어 앞에 am/is/are를 놓습니다.
예문:
- 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?
의문사 질문
의문사 질문의 경우, 질문 맨 앞에 의문사를 추가합니다.
예문:
- 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?

⚠️ 참고: 상태 동사(love, know, believe 등)는 일반적으로 진행형으로 사용되지 않습니다. 이들은 행동이 아닌 상태를 나타냅니다.
