B. GRAMMAR (NGỮ PHÁP)
I. Thì hiện tại tiếp diễn (The present continuous tense).
1. Cấu tạo
+ Câu khẳng định
S + am/ is/ are + V-ing
- I + am + V-ing
Công thức
- He/ She/ It/ Danh từ số ít/ Danh từ không đếm được + is + V-ing
- You/ We/ They/ Danh từ số nhiều + are + V-ing
- I am studying Math now. (Tôi đang học toán.)
- He is baking a cake. (Anh ấy đang nướng bánh)
- She is talking on the phone. (Cô ấy đang nói chuyện trên điện thoại)
- They are singing a song together. (Họ đang hát cùng nhau một bài hát)
Ví dụ

- The kids are watching “Deadpool” with their classmates in the theater. 
(Bọn trẻ đang xem phim “Deadpool” với các bạn cùng lớp ở rạp)
- Với các từ có tận cùng là “e”, khi chuyển sang dạng ing thì sẽ b ỏ đuôi “e” và thêm “ing” luôn.
(use – using; pose – posing; improve – improving; change – changing)
- Với các từ có tận cùng là “ee” khi chuyển sang d ạng ing thì  VẪN GIỮ NGUYÊN “ee” và thêm
đuôi “ing”. (knee – kneeing)
- Quy tắc gấp đôi phụ âm rồi mới thêm ing:
+ Nếu động từ có 1 âm tiết kết thúc bằng một phụ âm (trừ h, w, x, y), đi trước là m ột nguyên âm
ta gấp đôi phụ âm trước khi thêm “ing. (stop – stopping; run – running)
+ Với động từ hai âm tiết trở lên, nếu trọng âm nhấn vào âm  cuối thì mới gấp đôi phụ
âm. (begin – beginning)
Nếu trọng âm nhấn vào vị trí âm không phải âm cuối thì không g ấp đôi ph ụ âm: Listen listening, Happen - happening, enter - entering...
+, Nếu phụ âm kết thúc là "l" thì thường người Anh sẽ gấp đôi l còn người Mỹ thì không.
Ví dụ: Travel  : Anh - Anh là Travelling, Anh - Mỹ là Traveling, c ả hai cách vi ết đ ều s ử d ụng đ ược
nhé.
Động từ kết thúc là “ie” thì khi thêm “ing”, thay “ie” vào “y” r ồi thêm “ing”. ( lie – lying; die –
dying)
- Câu phủ định
Công thức
Chú ý

S + am/are/is + not + Ving
is not = isn't

(Viết tắt)
