00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:08,340
In this grammar refresh, we'll start by taking a look at how we can describe a picture or a photo.

2
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:16,760
So when you're talking about what's happening in this picture or in this photo, many times we'll use

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,890
the present continuous tense.

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,610
Now, the present continuous tense is where you and I enjoy your verb.

5
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:32,960
And there are many uses for this, but this is pacifically when we're talking about what's happening

6
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:36,020
in a photo op, even though the photo.

7
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:44,080
Already happened, those events, we still are going to use the present continuous when talking about

8
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,250
the things in the photo, but let's look at our examples.

9
00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:50,390
The first one is look at this photo.

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,720
The kids are having a blast.

11
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:56,560
They're dancing, singing, running around.

12
00:00:57,730 --> 00:00:58,270
So.

13
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:06,510
Here we have the present continuous having, dancing, singing and running back.

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,200
Now again, the photo, right?

15
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:10,550
These things already happened.

16
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,460
There in the past, but when you're describing things in a picture or a photo, you still are going

17
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:20,200
to use the present continuous.

18
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:28,900
The next sentence is, my father is standing right there and my mom is hiding in the trees.

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,710
She is about to surprise him.

20
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:40,610
And so, again, what the sentence is talking about what they see in a picture or a photo essay, and

21
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,360
we use these as a continuous tenses, Andy, iodine.

22
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:58,940
We can also use the present continuous tense to describe types of annoying habits and things that bother

23
00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:00,320
us or irritate us.

24
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:02,180
So in our example.

25
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:09,250
Why are you always doing that, you know that I don't like it when you're chewing with your mouth open.

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,170
And so you're chewing is the present continuous tense and chewing with your mouth open is the annoying

27
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:18,530
habit.

28
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:26,520
The next sentence, my friend, is always procrastinating and ends up doing her homework at night.

29
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,530
So this is something it's a habit and it happens all the time.

30
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:33,930
My friend is always procrastinating.
