Solved examples: Present continuous

What is he doing? (picture of a boy reading)
Solution: "He is reading a book." Present continuous = am/is/are + verb-ing. We use it for actions happening RIGHT NOW. I am reading. He is reading. They are reading.
Ejemplo resuelto
Spelling rules for -ing:
Solution: Most verbs: add -ing (play -> playing, read -> reading). Verbs ending in -e: remove e, add -ing (make -> making, write -> writing). Short verbs (CVC): double last letter (run -> running, swim -> swimming, sit -> sitting).
Ejercicios
1. Write -ing forms: play, swim, run, write, dance, sit, make, eat, have, stop.
2. Look at pictures and describe: "She is dancing. They are playing football."
3. What are you doing right now? Write 5 sentences.
4. Make negative: "He is sleeping." -> "He isn't sleeping."
5. Ask questions: "Is she reading?" "Are they playing?" Answer: Yes/No.
