Comment parler de ce qui est en train de se dérouler?

This document is a picture, more exactly a drawing. It represents an airport because there are the words “flight” and “ gates” on the notice board. There are fourteen people. In the foreground on the left, a man and a woman are drinking a cup of coffee while they are chatting. In the bottom right-hand corner, a family is waiting for their flight, they are sitting on a settee. The parents are talking and their son is reading a comic strip while they are waiting for their flight. At middle distance, on the left, a woman in a raincoat is reading a newspaper. In the centre, a man is buying a plane ticket from the woman at the information desk. In the background, a woman is phoning while she is pushing her luggage trolley. Behind her, a man is carrying a suitcase. On the right a man is buying a perfume at the dutyfree shop. At the back people are going out of the airport.

Pour parler d'évènements qui sont en train de se dérouler, on utilise le present be+ing. Son auxiliaire est be conjugué au present ; il apparaît à TOUTES LES FORMES il est suivi de la BASE VERBALE (infinitif sans to) à laquelle on ajoute la terminaison ING

FORME AFFIRMATIVE S + AUX BE + BVing + Complément Ex : A man is buying a ticket They are drinking a up coffee

FORME NEGATIVE S + AUX BE + NOT + BVING + Complément

Rappel: I am You are He/she/it is We are You are They are

Ex: They are not drinking a cup of coffee

A l'oral, on peut utiliser des formes contractées : ISN'T - AREN'T A l'écrit, il vaut mieux utiliser des formes pleines : IS NOT - ARE NOT

FORME INTERROGATIVE (Wh-) + Aux BE + S + Bving + Comp ? Ex : Is the man buying a present ? Yes, he is No, he isn't Where are the people going ? They are going out. Pour les verbes monosyllabiques se terminant par consonne voyelle consonne, il faut doubler la consonne finale avant d'ajouter la terminaison ING afin de conserver la prononciation originale. Dig => I am digging my grave Get => I am getting nervous Cut => I am cutting paper Swim => He is swimming like a hammer.
