In English grammar, the continuous tenses are used to describe 

ongoing or continuous actions, events, or states at a specific

 time. 

They indicate that an action is in progress or happening at a

 given moment.

 There are three continuous tenses: present continuous, past

 continuous,  and future continuous.

(En gramática inglesa, los tiempos continuos se utilizan 

para describir acciones, eventos o estados continuos o en curso 

en un momento específico. Indican que una acción está en 

progreso o sucediendo en un momento dado. Hay tres tiempos

 continuos: presente continuo, pasado continuo y futuro continuo.)

THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS IN ENGLISH IS USED TO TALK ABOUTH THE MOMENT WE SPEAK

AFFIRMATIVE FORM

Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to be) + verbo+ing+ COMPLEMENT

I am talking with my friend(Estoy hablando con mi amigo)

He is eating in the restaurant(Está comiendo en el restaurante)

NEGATIVE FORM

Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to be)+ (not) + verbo+ing+ complement

I’m not talking with my friend (No estoy hablando con mi amigo)

He’s not [He isn’t] eating with my friend(No está comiendo.)

INTERROGATIVE FORM 

Verbo auxiliar (to be) + sujeto + verbo+ing?

Are you talking?(¿Estás hablando?)

Is he eating?(¿Está comiendo?)

 RULES  (REGLAS DEL PRESENT CONTINUOUS)

Para formar el present continuous usamos el verbo auxiliar «to be» y el verbo principal en infinito, al que agregamos el sufijo «-ing». Sin embargo, el resultado varía según la raíz del verbo:

1- Verbos que terminan en consonante: solo añadimos el sufijo -ing

EXAMPLE:  read  ___ reading

                    work  ___ working

2- Verbos que terminan en vocal: se suprime la vocal y se reemplaza con -ing

    EXAMPLE:  write __ writing

                         come__ coming

 Exceptions: be__ being; go> going

3- Verbos que terminan en vocal doble: se mantienen las vocales y se añade -ing

EXAMPLE :        SEE> SEEING

4- Verbos que terminan en -y: se mantiene las vocales y se añade -ing.

EXAMPLE  : PLAY___ PLAYING

5- Verbos monosilábico terminado por la secuencia consonante-vocal-consonante: se dobla la última consonante y se añade -ing

EXAMPLE : RUN__RUNNING

                    SWIM__SWIMMING

EXCEPTION : los verbos terminados en -y, -x  -w NO  doblan la última consonante (blow>blowing;    fix> fixing)

6- Verbos terminados en -ie: se sustituye -ie por una -y + -ing.

EXAMPLE: DIE ___ (morir)DYING

                    LIE ___ ( mentir)LYING

USAGE:

 Describes actions or events that are happening at the

 present moment or around the current time.

El Present Continuous se emplea en inglés para:

1-Describir acciones que están sucediendo al mismo

 tiempo que hablamos.

 aunque no sea necesariamente cuando hablamos, en

 este mismo momento. En este caso, se utilizan

 expresiones de tiempo como currently, lately o these

 days. Ej: He is currently looking for a flat.

3-Situaciones temporales o que están cambiando

 progresivamente.

 ser molestos y van acompañados de always.

EX: My flat mate is always leaving the kitchen in a mess!

5-Hablar de eventos ya definidos que ocurrirán en un

 futuro próximo.  Su uso indica que es bastante seguro

 que lo planificado sucederá.

FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE:

 

What Is Future Continuous Tense?

1-The future continuous tense is a verb tense that shows an action happening over a period of time in the future. 

“I will be dancing all night” is an example of the future continuous tense

2-The Future Continuous tense is often used in English as a way to talk about something happening at a given point in the future.

RULES?

The Future Continuous tense can be used to create positive and

 negative  sentences or a question sentence (interrogative sentence).

 THE STRUCTURE IS:

The future continuous tense is formed with 'will + be + -ing form

 of the verb.'

subject	+	auxiliary verb WILL	+	auxiliary verb BE	+	main verb

 

AFFIRMATIVE:

SUBJECT + WILL + BE + PRINCIPAL VERBS+ING +COMPLEMENT

For example:

She will be studying tomorrow.

She will be acting at the theater tonight.

He will be selling all the fruits this afternoon.

 

 NEGATIVE SENTENCES:

SUBJECT + WILL +NOT / BE + PRINCIPAL VERBS +ING +COMPLEMENT

To form a negative sentence in the future continuous tense, 

we use the words

 “will not” or “won’t” and “be” plus the present participle of the 

actionable verb.

SUBJECT + WILL +NOT / BE + PRINCIPAL VERBS +ING +COMPLEMENT

  EXAMPLE:

I will not be going to school this time.

He won’t be swimming tonight.

QUESTIONS:

To form a question in the future continuous tense, use the 

words “will” and

 “be” plus the subject and the present participle of the 

actionable verb.

WILL+ SUBJECT+BE + PRINCIPAL VERBS +ING+COMPLEMENT?

EXAMPLE:

Will they be attending the party next week?

Will we be watching a film tonight?

sentences with the Future Continuous tense:

	subject	auxiliary verb		auxiliary verb	main verb
+	I	will		be	working	at 10am.
+	You	will		be	lying	on a beach tomorrow.
-	She	will	not	be	using	the car.
-	We	will	not	be	having	dinner at home.
?	Will	you		be	playing	football?
?	Will	they		be	watching	TV?

The Adverbs of Time That Are Used in Future Continuous Tense:

To further specify what time the actions in question take place, we can add temporal adverbs. Some adverbs we can use with Future Continuous Tense are:
