Start up
Welcome
As you know, I am planning to go to Colombia very
soon. Last week I got a postcard from Linda. She also
sent me a nice picture of her; she is having fun at
the beach. So, I am writing a postcard to my friend
telling her about all the fun things I’m doing here in
New York.
In this learning material, we are going to learn about
how to talk about actions or events happening now,
as well as some adjectives to describe emotions and
feelings.
I am ready to write my postcard!

happening at the moment of speaking.
To do so, we need to learn how to use present progressive
tense in English.
Don´t get scared! It´s very simple. Let´s have a look!

Linda, how do we make negative statements?
When we need to make negative sentences,
we just add “not” as follows:

And how do we ask questions?
To ask questions, we just need to add a
question word and change the position of
the verb to be within the sentence. Let’s read
some examples:
