Present Continuous, avagy a folyamatban lévő jelen idő Mielőtt belevágnék a Present Continuous igeidő magyarázatába, el kell mondanom, hogy nagyon sok nyelvtankönyv hiányos ismereteket közöl erről az igeidőről, így rengeteg nyelvtanuló nem megfelelően tanulja meg ezt az igeidőt. A legnagyobb hiba az, hogy a legtöbben csak annyit tanulnak és tanítanak meg erről az igeidőről, hogy ezzel a beszéd, vagy írás pillanatában éppen történő cselekvést tudjuk kifejezni. Sajnos ez csak egy töredéke annak, amit erről az igeidőről tudni kell, úgyhogy az alábbiakban meg fogjuk tanulni az összeset! Javasolnék egy új magyar elnevezéstis a Present Continuous-ra: hívjuk inkább „Folyamatban lévő jelennek, ugyanis ez sokkal egyértelműbben fejezi ki a Present Continuous jelentését, hiszen a cselekvésünk ebben az esetben nem folyamatos, hanem a jelen egy adott pillanatában vagy szakaszában éppen folyamatban van, vagy eltér a megszokott és rendszeres cselekvéstől. Akkor használjuk, amikor a jelenben éppen történik valami.

Five days in Iceland: black beaches and baby geysers! Sophia: Hey, everyone! Welcome back to another video for the British Council’s LearnEnglish Teens website and their YouTube channel. I’m kind of in a rush, but I just wanted to tell you what today’s video is going to be about. Any guess? Actually, you probably can tell from the title. Anyway, we’re on our way to Iceland this morning, so me and my flatmate, Viktoria – who you might have seen in one of our other videos where we were making sushi – are on our way to Iceland for five days. Hey, guys. It was, it was all right ... Vicky: Well, except for the ... Sophia: We went through a very big, like, mist cloud and that was kind of scary, but we’re here. We’ve just entered the Geyser and we’re walking and we’ve seen that apparently the water is between 80 to 100 degrees, which is very hot. So, the geyser we went to see was just the baby geyser. Vicky: It’s the second day. Sophia: What’s your first impression of Iceland? Vicky: It’s so pretty. Sophia: So, Vicky, where are we? Sophia: Yeah.
