8.1 Progressive
Each of the eight tenses (we have studied in lesson 7) can be slightly changed to show action
continuing over an extended period of time. Such continuity is indicated by the progressive tenses.
The progressive tenses are formed by combining some form of verb to be (is, was, will be, would
be, has been, had been, will have been, would have been) with the -ing form of another verb (i~
writing, was writing etc.). This is known as present participle.
