7. Present Continuous Tense: interrogative
sentences
Interrogative
sentences alias kalimat tanya adalah kalimat yang
menanyakan sesuatu. (iih penjelasan kok hanya gitu... Itu mah sudah sejak zaman
dinosaurus belajar naik kuda, kaleee…).
Cara
membuat kalimat tanya present continuous
sangatlah mudah. Polanya kebalikan dari kalimat pernyataan. Dalam kalimat
tanya, kata kerja be (am, is, are)
diletakkan di depan subjek. Kata kerja –ing
tetap berada di belakang, yakni
setelah subjek. Lihat pola kalimat pernyataan menjadi kalimat tanya berikut ini:
I am –ing =>
Am I -ing? Contoh : Am I talking loudly?
He is –ing. =>
Is he -ing? Contoh : Is he talking about me?
