परिचय
Present continuous (जिसे present progressive भी कहते हैं) का प्रयोग right now (ठीक अभी) या वर्तमान अवधि के आसपास हो रही क्रियाओं का वर्णन करने के लिए होता है। यह am/is/are + क्रिया के -ing रूप से बनता है।
कर्ता+am/is/are+क्रिया-ing
- I am reading a great book right now.
- Julia is working from home this week.
- They are building a new bridge nearby.
| कर्ता | रूप |
|---|---|
| I | am working |
| He / She / It | is working |
| You / We / They | are working |
Present Continuous के उपयोग
यह केवल इसी क्षण के लिए नहीं है:
| प्रयोग | उदाहरण |
|---|---|
| अभी हो रही क्रिया | Shh! The baby is sleeping. |
| अस्थायी स्थिति | I am staying with my parents this month. |
| बदलती या विकसित होती स्थिति | Prices are rising rapidly. |
| तय भविष्य की व्यवस्था | We are meeting tomorrow at 10. |
| बार-बार का परेशान करने वाला व्यवहार (always के साथ) | He is always losing his keys! |
Present Simple बनाम Present Continuous
दोनों वर्तमान काल आसानी से गड़बड़ा जाते हैं। Present simple स्थायी तथ्यों और आदतों का वर्णन करता है; present continuous अस्थायी या जारी क्रियाओं का।
| Present Simple (स्थायी/आदत) | Present Continuous (अस्थायी/अभी) |
|---|---|
| She lives in London. | She is living with a host family this term. |
| He works at a hospital. | He is working overtime this week. |
| I read before bed. | I am reading an amazing novel. |
- I am knowing the answer.I know the answer.state verb, no continuous
- She is always work late.She is always working late.
स्थितिवाचक क्रियाएँ (Continuous रूप नहीं)
कुछ stative verbs (स्थितिवाचक क्रियाएँ) क्रियाओं के बजाय अवस्थाओं का वर्णन करती हैं और सामान्यतः continuous कालों में प्रयुक्त नहीं होतीं। इनमें मन, भावना, स्वामित्व और इंद्रिय-बोध की क्रियाएँ शामिल हैं।
| श्रेणी | क्रियाएँ |
|---|---|
| सोचना/जानना | know, believe, understand, remember, think (= believe) |
| भावना | love, hate, want, need, prefer |
| स्वामित्व | have (= possess), own, belong |
| बोध (इंद्रिय) | see, hear, smell, taste, seem, appear |
- I am believing you.I believe you.
- She is having a car.She has a car.
- He is wanting a coffee.He wants a coffee.
