1、定義：表示現(xiàn)在或現(xiàn)階段正在進(jìn)行或發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。句中常有now，look，listen等詞。

如：I am washing clothes now.

Look! Liu Tao is climbing the tree.

Listen! Jane is singing in the music room.

2、構(gòu)成：be動(dòng)詞(am/is/are)+ 動(dòng)詞現(xiàn)在分詞(V-ing)

3、動(dòng)詞現(xiàn)在分詞構(gòu)成：

① 一般是在動(dòng)詞原形后加ing

如：read-reading，drink-drinking，eat-eating，look-looking

② 以不發(fā)音的e結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞，去掉e，再加ing

如：write-writing，make-making，ride-riding，take-taking

③ 以重讀閉音節(jié)結(jié)尾，如末尾只有一個(gè)輔音字母，要雙寫(xiě)這個(gè)字母，再加ing

如：sit-sitting，swim-swimming，put-putting，run-running，stop-stopping，get-getting，begin-beginning，jog-jogging，forget-forgetting

4、動(dòng)名詞其實(shí)就是動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞，它既有名詞性質(zhì)(可作主語(yǔ))，又有動(dòng)詞性質(zhì)(可帶賓語(yǔ))。

如：Asking the way

My hobby is collecting stamps.

He is good at skating.

5、現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的句型轉(zhuǎn)換：
