Writing 200 - Using the Present Progressive Tense - 7 November 2011
Look at the three pictures displayed below. Then, using the present progressive verb form, write a paragraph about the person in the picture you selected.
Remember, your paragraph needs to focus on the present progressive verb form. The present progressive form is used to indicate actions happening at the time of speaking, or taking place right now. Thus, the present progressive tense takes the correct form of BE, determined by the subject, and adds an ing ending to the verb.
For example:
- He is eating.
- I am eating.
- They are eating.
