Today, we're talking about present continuous.

今天，我們要討論的是現在進行時。

Present continuous is used in three main ways.

現在進行時主要有三種用法。

When you want to talk about actions that are happening right now, actions that are temporary, or future plans.

當您想談論正在發生的行動、暫時的行動或未來的計劃時。

First, let's review how to form present continuous.

首先，讓我們複習一下如何構成現在進行時。

You need three things:

你需要三樣東西

Subject, be verb, and main verb with I-N-G.

主語、被動詞和主要動詞用 I-N-G 表示。

Remember this every time you use present continuous!

每次使用現在進行時都要記住這一點！

I am drinking coffee.

我在喝咖啡。

We are learning Spanish this semester.

這學期我們學習西班牙語。

They are having a party on Saturday.

他們將在週六舉辦一個派對。

The first way we use present continuous in real life conversations is for actions happening right now.

在現實對話中，我們使用現在進行時的第一種方式是用於現在正在發生的行為。

I am speaking English.

我說的是英語。

Or, "You are watching this video."

或者，"您正在觀看這段視頻"。

Let's look at some more examples.

讓我們再來看幾個例子。

她正在為考試複習。

They are playing soccer in the park.

他們正在公園裡踢足球。

Remember, if it's happening right now, use present continuous!

記住，如果事情正在發生，就用現在進行時！

The second way to use present continuous is for temporary actions or situations.

使用現在進行時的第二種情況是暫時性的動作或情況。

These are things happening now, but not at this exact moment.

這些都是正在發生的事情，但不是此時此刻。

For example: "I'm staying at my friend's house this week."

例如："這周我住在朋友家"

It's temporary, not forever.

這是暫時的，不是永遠的。

Or, "He is working on a new project."

或者，"他正在做一個新項目"。

It's just for now, not his permanent job.

這只是暫時的，不是他的長期工作。

Temporary situations can last for days, weeks, or even months,

臨時情況可能會持續幾天、幾周甚至幾個月、

but they're not permanent, and they don't have to be at this exact moment!

但它們不是永久性的，也不一定非要在此時此刻！

Finally, we use present continuous for future plans and arrangements that are already decided.

最後，我們用現在進行時表示已經確定的未來計劃和安排。

I am meeting my friend tomorrow.

我明天要去見我的朋友。
