Another quick lesson 🍃

TTMIK Level 2: Lesson 10 was about Present Progressive Tense (finally).

Conjugation:

To be -ing = Verb stem + -고 있다

Example:

보다 = to see

보고 있다 = to be seeing

Present Progressive Tense

-am/are/is -ing = Verb stem + -고 있어요.

Examples:

비가 오다 있었어요.

🔅 비가 오다 = 🌧 to rain

윤기는 자고 있었어요.

🔅 윤기 = Yoongi

🔅자다 = to sleep

Future Progressive

-will be -ing = Verb stem + -고 있을 거예요

* Past and future progressive tense sentences are used commonly in everyday in Korea.

Example:

저는 집에 가고 있을것어요.

🔅 집 = 🏠 (house/home)

-에 location particle

🔅가다 = to go

‼️Two Important Things to Remember When Using the Present Progressive Tense:

Sentences include everyday conversations (which need to be in present prgessice form) DO NOT always take the -고 있어요 form.

-> -> Koreans use the plain present tense (-아요, 어요, 해요) form even for sentences that would normally be present progressive tense in English.

2. Literal translations from Korean to English present progressive sentences DOES NOT always work.

*Especially when using the present progressive tense form in English to indicate the future.

Example:

“I am not going to school tomorrow,” in English indicates the future

❗️and DOES NOT use -고 있어요.

내일은 학교에 안 가요.

-안 = no/ not (negative)
