Oh, hello, everybody.
How are you?
I was looking at some photos.
I like to look at pictures and describe what I can see.
When we take a photo,
it's like freezing a moment in time.
Hey, would you like to help me describe some pictures?
Yes? Let's do it.
Look at this picture.
Mermaid has travelled in time to the past.
Let's describe the picture.
There's a magic question we can use to help us.
Listen.
A mammoth is coming and Mermaid is running.
Let's look at the next picture.
Now, Mermaid has travelled to the present, to now.
That's right, she is listening to music.
And in the next picture...
Wow!
Mermaid has travelled to the future.
That's Amazing.
Today we are using the present continuous.
We use this tense
when we are talking about something that's happening at the moment.
Like when we were describing Mermaid's pictures.
And we can also use it
when we talk about something that's going to happen
very soon in the futures.
So, how do you form this tense?
Let me explain it to you.
For example:
And when we want to talk about the future:
For example:
Now, let's practice with the present continuous.
Look at this picture.
Can you describe it?
That's right.
Now, what is this girl doing?
Fantastic! She is eating broccoli.
Now we want to know what is Jane going to do tonight.
Yes, fantastic!
So, remember,
we can use the present continuous
to talk about things that are happening right now
or things that are happening in the future, very soon.
Now, what do you think I'm doing right now?
I'm saying goodbye.
Goodbye, everybody!
See you next time!
