Choose the Correct Present Progressive Cheat Sheet

  1. Identify ongoing actions - The present progressive tense describes actions that are happening right now or that are planned for the near future, giving your sentences a lively, real‑time feel. It's perfect for narrating scenes as if you're the director of your own story. Grammar Monster
  2. Form with "to be" + "‑ing" - Combine the correct form of "to be" (am, is, are) with the verb's "‑ing" form to create the present progressive. This mix makes your actions pop off the page and sound more natural in conversation. Scribbr
  3. Match your subject and verb - Use "am" with "I," "is" with "he," "she," "it," and singular nouns, and "are" with "you," "we," "they," and plural nouns. This simple rule keeps your grammar tight and error‑free. Grammar Monster
  4. Create participles - To form the present participle, usually add "‑ing" to the base verb. If the verb ends in "e," drop the "e" and add "‑ing," like "make" → "making." It's like giving your verb a fun little costume! Grammar Monster
  5. Talk about future plans - The present progressive can also express planned future arrangements, such as "We are meeting at noon." It's a friendly way to confirm upcoming events without sounding too formal. Eclectic English
  6. Avoid stative verbs - Verbs like "know," "believe," and "own" describe states, not actions, so they don't take the "‑ing" form. Instead, say "I know the answer" in simple present. It helps you sound knowledgeable and grammatically correct! Scribbr
  7. Form negatives easily - To make a negative, insert "not" between the auxiliary and the main verb: "She is not watching TV." It's a handy trick for denying, correcting, or clarifying statements. Scribbr
  8. Ask questions smoothly - Flip the auxiliary verb and the subject: "Are you coming to the party?" This inversion magic turns statements into questions in a snap. Scribbr
  9. Mind spelling quirks - Watch for little spelling changes: drop the "e" in "write" to get "writing," double the final consonant in "run" for "running," and so on. These tweaks keep your "‑ing" forms correct and stylish. Grammar Monster
  10. Practice makes perfect - Reinforce your knowledge with interactive exercises, quizzes, and real‑world writing prompts. The more you play with the tense, the more confident you'll become! My English Pages
