Present continuous tense or present progressive tense is a verb form used to express current action (present) or future plan (future). There is no division of tobe and verb, because it is tobe in continuous tense for auxiliary verb.

1. Auxiliary (Kata Bantu)

The auxilliaries used in the Present Continuous Tense formation are: be-present, whose members consist of 3 types of beams: Am, Is and Are. Each of these be-present members is used by subject.
Forexample:
• If the subject is: I, then use be-present AM.
• If the subject is: You, We or They or its equivalent, then use be-present ARE, and
• If the subject is: He, She or It or its equivalent, then use be-present IS.

This provision is absolute as a form of rules or rules of Grammar English (English Grammar).
Since the auxiliary be-present is used as a "tool" to assist in the formation of the tense Present Continuous Tense, the auxiliary be-present may be referred to as auxiliary verb. In this case, the verb is: Verb-Ing.

2. Verb (Kata Kerja)

The verb (verb) used in the Present Continuous Tense formation is the Verb Present Participle, also called Verb-Ing or Ing Form Verb, the basic verb (Bare-infinitive/ Infinitive) which added suffixes (Suffix) in the form: -Ing.
