| 9.2.1 La formation du present continuous |
Le present continuous est formé avec le verbe auxiliaire to be et le present participle (participe présent). Pour former le present participle on ajoute le suffixe -ing à l' infinitif. Si le verbe se termine en -e (take => taking) le e de l´infinitif est supprimé. Si l' infinitif se termine par une voyelle (une seule) suivie d' une consonne il faut redoubler cette consonne.
