Why use a notes-based present continuous quiz

A present continuous video quiz sounds useful, but many learners already have the lesson they need in written form: a grammar handout, a slide deck or a teacher's notes. Turning that material into questions gives you practice on the exact forms your class is using, such as affirmative, negative and question forms with am, is and are.

Use the present continuous for actions happening now, such as She is writing an email.
Use it for temporary situations, such as I am living in Madrid this year.
Add -ing carefully: drop a silent e (make to making) but keep the e in words like see (seeing).
Check negatives by placing not after am, is or are and before the verb.

Example present continuous quiz questions

Which is correct? She ___ an email right now. a) writes b) is writingis writing. The action is in progress at the moment of speaking, so use am/is/are with the -ing form.

True or false: "They are play tennis this afternoon" is correct.False. The correct form is "They are playing tennis this afternoon" because the -ing form must follow am, is or are.

What is the -ing form of make?making. Drop the silent e before adding -ing.

Which sentence shows a temporary situation: "I live in Madrid" or "I am living in Madrid this year"?I am living in Madrid this year. The present continuous shows a temporary situation around now, while the simple present shows a permanent one.

Make this negative: "We are watching the news."We are not watching the news. Place not between are and the -ing verb.
