ALWAYS PRESENT PROGRESSIVE 1 powerpoint

Inglés básico

1. ALWAYS + PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

2. The present progressive (also known as the present continuous ) can be used with "always"  to express that something is happening more often than is desirable or expected, often with a sense of annoyance or irritation.  The "always" typically appears after the auxiliary verb "be" and before the present participle (- ing ) form of the main verb. Usages: Expressing Annoyance or Irritation: The combination of "always" and the present progressive is often used to complain about or express annoyance at a repeated action. Examples: "He's always interrupting me." "You're always forgetting your keys!" 

3. Indicating Habits or Repetitive Actions: This usage highlights that a particular habit or repetitive action is occurring frequently, and often to a degree that is bothersome.  Examples: "She's always buying little gifts for people."  "They're always coming up with new ideas."  Not necessarily happening at the exact moment of speaking: While the present progressive often indicates actions happening now, when used with "always," it can describe actions that are happening regularly, but not necessarily at this precise moment. Example: "My son is always leaving his dirty socks on the bathroom floor."
