Vraag 5

Beantwoord de volgende vraag.
Answer the questions in Dutch.
How do we form the present continuous affirmative? (§2.2)
How do we form negative sentences in the present continuous? (§2.2)
How do we form questions in the present continuous? (§2.2)
How do we answer questions in the present continuous? (§2.2)

In bevestigende zinnen wordt de 
present continuous
 gevormd door 
am/are/is + hele werkwoord + ing
. 
Voorbeelden: I am sleeping. You are sleeping. He is sleeping. 
In de 
present continuous
 vormen we ontkennende zinnen door 
not
 toe te voegen tussen het hulpwerkwoord en het zelfstandig werkwoord. 
Voorbeelden: I 
am not sleeping
. You 
are not sleeping
. He 
is not sleeping
. 
In de 
present continuous
 vormen we vragende zinnen door het hulpwerkwoord voor in de zin te plaatsen (door onderwerp en persoonsvorm van plaats te verwisselen). 
Voorbeelden: 
Am
 I sleeping? 
Are
 you sleeping? 
Is
 he sleeping? 
In de 
present continuous
 beantwoorden we vragen op de volgende manier:
Yes, I am.
 
 
 
No, I am / I’m not.
Yes, you are.
 
 
No, you are not / you’re not / you aren’t.
Yes, he/she/it is.
