Exercícios sobre o Present Continuous 1. Qual alternativa está incorreta?a I am being evil with my son. b Do I being evil with your son? c Am I being evil with my son? d I am not being evil with my son. Ver Resposta Resposta b Do I being evil with your son? O verbo "do" é auxiliar do Simple Present e não do Present Continuous. A estrutura do Present Continuous é composta pelo verbo to be + verbo principal com -ing. As três flexões do verbo to be são is, am e are. Como o sujeito da frase é I, o auxiliar correto a ser utilizado é I Am I being evil with your son? Estou sendo má para o seu filho? Do não pode ser usado pois ele é um auxiliar que integra a estrutura de formação do Simple Present, tempo verbal que indica ações habituais, rotina, etc. Já o Present Continuous indica ações que acontecem no presente, no momento da fala. 2.

Na frase, I eu é o sujeito, e to do fazer é o verbo principal, que sem o to e acrescido de -ing passa a doing. Você pode optar por escrever a frase usando a forma contraída I’m, em vez de usar I am I’m not doing my own meal A forma interrogativa do Present Continuous segue a seguinte estrutura verbo to be como auxiliar is, am ou are + sujeito + verbo principal no infinitivo sem o to, acrescido de -ing.
