Introduction
Trajno sadašnje vrijeme [present continuous ili progressive] je glagolsko vrijeme koje opisuje radnju koja se odvija u trenutku govorenja (prije, tijekom i nakon).
Kada se koristi u potvrdnom obliku, glagol potvrđuje da se radnja odvija sada.
Form
Present continuous u potvrdnom obliku ima ovu strukturu:
Subject + to be + [verb + -ing] + …
Regular
Tvorba glagola: verb + -ing.
Skraćeni potvrdni oblik jednak je skraćenom obliku glagola to be (u razgovornom jeziku i neformalnom pisanju): I’m – you’re – he’s…
| Subject | To be | Verb + -ing |
|---|---|---|
| I | am | working |
| You | are | working |
| He | is | working |
| She | is | working |
| It | is | working |
| We | are | working |
| You | are | working |
| They | are | working |
Exceptions
- Glagoli sa sufiksom -e: gube-e i dodajemo -ing.
| Infinitive | Verb + -ing |

- Jednosložni glagoli koji završavaju sa suglasnikom prije kojeg je samoglasnik, glagoli s naglaskom na zadnjem slogu te glagoli sa sufiksom -l: udvostručujemo suglasnik i dodajemo -ing.

Summary
Trajno sadašnje vrijeme [present continuous], u potvrdnom obliku, koristimo za potvrđivanje radnje koja se odvija u trenutku govorenja.
Struktura:
Subject + to be + [verb + -ing] + …
Naprimjer:
— “He is working on an important project today.” = Koristimo present continuous jer opisujemo radnju koja se događa kad govorimo (u tom trenutku).
♦ “He works on important projects.” = Koristimo present simple jer opisujemo radnju koja se redovito ponavlja u prezentu.
Postoje iznimke u stvaranju ovisno o glagolu sufiksa.
Naprimjer:
— Sufiks -e: gubi -e i dodajemo -ing. “Shake” ⇒ “Shaking.”
— Jednosložni glagoli koji završavaju sa suglasnikom prije kojeg je samoglasnik, glagoli s naglaskom na zadnjem slogu te glagoli sa sufiksom -l: udvostručujemo suglasnik i dodajemo -ing. “Put“ ⇒ “Putting.”
— Sufiks -ie: gubi -ie i dodajemo -ying: “Tie“ ⇒ “Tying.”
