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 negativnom obliku, glagol negira da se radnja odvija sada.
Form
Present continuous u negativnom obliku ima ovu strukturu:
Subject + to be + not + [verb + -ing] + …
- Skraćeni negativan oblik jednak je skraćenom obliku glagola to be: I’m not – you’re not/you aren’t – he’s not/he isn’t…
| Subject | To Be + not | Verb + -ing |
|---|---|---|
| I | am not | working |
| You | are not | working |
| He | is not | working |
| She | is not | working |
| It | is not | working |
| We | are not | working |
| You | are not | working |
| They | are not | working |
{Za iznimke vidi : Present Continous – affirmative}.

Summary
Trajno sadašnje vrijeme [present continuous], u negativnom obliku, koristimo za negiranje radnje koja se odvija u trenutku govorenja.
Struktura:
Subject + to be + not + [verb + -ing] + …
Naprimjer:
— “He isn’t working on an important project today.” = Koristimo present continuous jer negiramo radnju koja se ne događa kad govorimo (u tom trenutku).
♦ “He doesn’t work on important projects.” = Koristimo present simple jer opisujemo radnju koja se ne ponavlja redovito u prezentu.
