The 'Right Now' Pattern

In this story, we see a lot of things happening at this moment. In English, we use am/is/are + word ending in -ing to show this.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Police are now looking for other people.
  • They are checking how they help people.
  • The police are still checking.

How to build it: Person \rightarrow be (am/is/are) \rightarrow action + ing

Simple breakdown:

  • I am checking (Me)
  • He is checking (The man)
  • They are checking (The police/Channel 4)

Quick Tip: The 'Not' version To say someone is NOT doing something right now, just put not after the 'be' word:

  • They are not checking \rightarrow They are checking.
