    To make a negative sentence in present continous, add 'not' after the helping verb is/am/are. The structure for Present Continuous Tense in Negative Form is:

    Subject + is/am/are + not + verb + ing

    For example:

    • am not playing football.
    • He is not watching TV today.
    • She is not cooking.

    Negatives in present continuous tense are used when we want to deny that an action is happening right now.

To make a complete sentence, certain time expressions are used with present continuous tenses. These include: today, now, right now, at the moment, these days, currently, nowadays, this week, etc.

For example:

  • He is working on a project right now.
  • Currently, we are working from home.
  • Today, am going for an interview.

To make a question in present continuous tense, place the helping verb is/am/are before the subject of the sentence, and then add the main verb in 'ing' form.

For example:

  • Are you studying English Verbs?
  • Is she dancing at the party?

Another way to make a question in present continuous tense is by using question words like What, Where, When, Who, etc., at the beginning of the sentence.

For example:

  • What are you doing?
  • Where are we going?
  • Who is coming for the party?

Yes, we can use present continuous tense to talk about the planned or definite future events.

For example:

  • We are meeting our Science teacher tomorrow.
  • She is leaving for New York next week.

These two sentences shows that the plan is already made and will be fulfilled in the future. By writing or speaking a sentence about fixed future event using present continuous tense makes the plan more certain compared to using 'will' or 'shall'.
