The progressive tenses show that something is happening at a specific time in the present, the past or the future.  The present and past progressive tenses use the verb “to be”( am, is, was, were, are) plus the present participle, which is formed by adding “ing” to the root form of the infinitive.

Present Tense Example: I am walking to town.

Past Tense Example: I was walking to town.

Good News! The progressive tense verbs are mostly regular.

go – going,   look – looking,    be – being

Exceptions: If the root verb ends in one silent “e” then drop the “e” and add “ing”.

Examples: come – coming,     drive – driving
