27 Present Continuous - Negative

Tenses

The Present Continuous (or progressive) je glagolsko vrijeme koje koristimo kad govorimo o događajima koji se odvijaju u trenutku razgovora (prije, tijekom i nakon).

Kada se izražava u svom negativnom obliku, negira se neki događaj.

EXTRA: Present Continuous = Prezentom.

The Progressive - niječni oblik glagola to eat ima slijedeću strukturu:
Subject + verb to be + not + [base form of the verb + -ing].

SUBJECT TO BE - NEGATION PRESENT

Koristimo Present Continuous za:

  1. Akcije koje se događaju u trenutku govora;
  2. Privremeni događaji (koje će završiti u budućnosti);
  3. Akcije planirane za budućnost;
  4. Promjene i tendencije;
  5. Dosljednost događaja.

The Present Continuous je glagolsko vrijeme koje koristimo kad govorimo o događajima koji se odvijaju u trenutku razgovora. Kad se koristi u negativnom obliku, nešto što se sada događa je opovrgnuto, negirano.

The Present Continuous u niječnom obliku ima ovu strukturu:
Subject + verb to be + not + [base form of the verb + -ing] (e.g. I am not eating.).

Npr.:
— “You aren’t eating.” = U tom slučaju koristimo Present Continuous jer govorimo o radnji koja se ne događa u trenutku razgovora, u tom trenu.
> “You don’t eat.” = U tom slučaju koristimo Present simple jer govorimo o radnji koja se ne događa stalno ili uvijek u sadašnjosti.

Notices:

Non-commercial use means that users may not sell, profit from, or commercialize Books for Languages’ materials or works derived from them. That said, we have found that there are certain “gray areas” in interpreting the non-commercial provision of Creative Commons license. The guidelines below are intended to help users determine whether or not their use of Books for Languages’ materials would be permitted under the “non-commercial” restriction. Note that there are additional requirements (attribution and share alike) spelled out in our license.

Commercialization is prohibited. Users may not directly sell or profit from Books for Languages’ materials or from works derived from Books for Languages’ materials.

Example: A commercial education or training business may not offer courses based on Books for Languages’ materials if students pay a fee for those courses and the business intends to profit as a result.

Determination of commercial vs. non-commercial purpose is based on the use, not the user. Materials may be used by individuals, institutions, governments, corporations, or other business whether for-profit or non-profit so long as the use itself is not a commercialization of the materials or a use that is directly intended to generate sales or profit.

Example: A corporation may use Books for Languages’ materials for internal professional development and training purposes.

Incidental charges to recover reasonable reproduction costs may be permitted. Recovery of nominal actual costs for copying small amounts (under 100 copies) of Books for Languages’ content on paper or CDs is allowed for educational purposes so long as there is no profit motive and so long as the intended use of the copies is in compliance with all license terms. Students must be informed that the materials are freely available on the Books for Languages’ site and that their purchase of copied materials is optional.

Example: An institution in a remote area has limited Internet access and limited network infrastructure on campus, and a professor offers to create CDs of Books for Languages’ materials relevant to his/her course. The professor may recover the costs of creating the CDs.
