his exam at this time tomorrow? (Завтра в это время он будет готовиться к экзамену?).
Подводим итоги
Мы рассмотрели способы образования и основные принципы употребления глагольных конструкций группы Continuous. Существуют некоторые нюансы использования данных конструкций, но о них мы поговорим в следующей главе, когда сравним глагольные конструкции Continuous и Simple. Сейчас главное запомните, что Continuous – это незавершенное действие, продолжающееся в определенный момент в настоящем, прошедшем или будущем; вспомогательные глаголы в настоящем времени – am/is/are, в прошедшем – was/were, в будущем – will.
