Verbs: Present Continuous

The PRESENT CONTINUOUS is used when we want to express actions which are happened while talking. The simple structure is the following:

VERB TO BE (In present) + MAIN VERB (with -ING ending)

** The -ING form is equal to the Spanish gerunde (Gerundio)

E.g.: I am playing 

The complete structures are these:

AFFIRMATIVE: SUBJECT + VERB TO BE (Present) + -ING VERB + COMPLEMENTS:

I am playing table-tennis now

NEGATIVE: SUBJECT + VERB TO BE (Present) + NOT + -ING VERB + COMPLEMENTS:

I am not playing table-tennis now

INTERROGATIVE: VERB TO BE (Present) + SUBJECT + -ING VERB + COMPLEMENTS + INTERROGATIVE SIGN (?)

Am I playing table-tennis now?

To the interrogative forms, we can answer affirmatively or negatively:

ARE YOU PLAYING TABLE-TENNIS NOW? 

- Yes, I am 

- No, I am not

The pound sterling £

The pound sterling can generally refer to the currency* of the United Kingdom (UK). The standard currency code is GBP (UKP is non-standard and sometimes wrongly used).

The sign for the pound is £ (or rarely just "L"). Both symbols derive from libra, the Latin word for "pound".

In the UK, in order to* distinguish the unit of currency from the unit of mass, and from other units of currency that have the same name, a pound is often referred to as a pound sterling or sometimes simply sterling.

The term “quid” is also* substituted in informal conversation for "pound(s) sterling". The sterling was originally a name for a silver penny* of 1/240 pound. In modern times the pound has replaced the penny as the basic unit of currency.

1. The pound is the currency of UK. True. False.	2. The symbol for the pound derives from the Latin word "libra". True. False
3. To distinguish the unit of currency from the unit of mass, sometimes the pound is also called pound sterling. True. False.	4. Quid is a slang term for pound. True. False.
5. Sterling was originally the name for a pound. True. False.

** The plural form of PENNY is PENCE **

currency à unidad monetaria

First, I woke up at 7 o’clock after Billy and then I had a shower. While Billy was having breakfast I prepared some toasts and butter for me. After finishing, both went out to have some relax and go shopping to the store. Then we bought two sandwiches and two ice-creams before visiting some friends and going to the beach. When we were enjoying a sunny afternoon, the sky turned grey and started to rain a lot!

Finally we ran away and arrived home really wet! We had to take our umbrellas before going out!
