Объяснение: Present Continuous (Present Progressive) используется для выражения действий, которые происходят в настоящее время или для выражения временных ситуаций. Для образования отрицательной формы Present Continuous мы используем отрицательное вспомогательное глагол «not» после глагола «be» (is/are) и перед основным глаголом.
Пример использования:
1. He is not working at the moment. (Он не работает в данный момент.)
2. Our editors are not proofreading articles in this newspaper and correcting the mistakes. (Наши редакторы не вычитывают статьи в этой газете и исправляют ошибки.)
3. Helen is not going to the library every fortnight. (Хелен не ходит в библиотеку каждые две недели.)
4. Good parents are not spending time with their children. (Хорошие родители не проводят время со своими детьми.)
5. We are not studying well and doing all the exercises in English. (Мы не учимся хорошо и не делаем все упражнения по английскому.)
Совет:
Чтобы лучше понять и запомнить Present Continuous, можно обратить внимание на часто употребляемые наречия времени, указывающие на настоящее время, такие как «at the moment» (в данный момент), «now» (сейчас) и др. Также стоит обратить внимание на особенность образования отрицательной формы с помощью вспомогательного глагола «not».
Упражнение:
Перепишите предложения, поставив глаголы в отрицательную форму и в формы Present Continuous:
1. Isn’t he working at the moment? (Не работает ли он в данный момент?)
2. Aren’t our editors proofreading articles in this newspaper and correcting the mistakes? (Не вычитывают ли наши редакторы статьи в этой газете и не исправляют ошибки?)
3. Isn’t Helen going to the library every fortnight? (Не ходит ли Хелен в библиотеку каждые две недели?)
4. Aren’t good parents spending time with their children? (Не проводят ли хорошие родители время со своими детьми?)
5. Aren’t we studying well and doing all the exercises in English? (Не учимся ли мы хорошо и не делаем все упражнения по английскому?)
