The only things we need to remember is to add an s or es depending on the words that end by (ss, sh, ch, o, x) or ies with verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
fly --> flies, cry --> cries
present continuous.
| Interrogative | Negative form | Affirmative form |
| Am / is / are + not + Subject + v ing | Subject + am / is / are + not + v ing | Subject + am / is /are + v ing |
| Am I starting? | I am not starting | I am starting |
|
Is (She , he , it) + starting ? |
(She , he , it) is not + starting |
(She , he , it) is + starting |
| Are (we, you , they) + starting ? | (We , you , they) aren't + starting |
(We , you , they) are + starting |
