Present Continuous Questions — Mind map, English, Grade 6

Excerpt from the material

Present Continuous Use this tense to ask about actions happening now or around the present. When to Use It Use the present continuous for an action happening now or for a temporary activity around the present. The time is often clear from the situation or words such as “now.” Choose the Use Question Pattern Put the correct form of “be” before the subject, then use the verb ending in “-ing.” This word order turns a statement into a yes-or-no question. Yes-or-No Form Find the Question Forms of Be Use “am” with “I,” “is” with “he,” “she,” or “it,” and “are” with “you,” “we,” or “they.” The subject determines which form begins the question. Subject Match Choose the Helper Wh- Questions To ask for specific information, begin with a question word such as “what,” “where,” or “why.” Follow it with “am,” “is,” or “are,” then the subject and the “-ing” verb. Information Form Ask Where Answering Questions A yes-or-no question can be answered briefly with “Yes” or “No” and the matching subject and form of “be.” A question beginning with “what,” “where,” or “why” needs the requested information.
