除了表示”正在做什麼”, 現在進行式 ( Be + Ving ) 還有其他好幾個用法
最重要一種是( Be + Ving ) 與 副詞 always, forever, constantly 聯用,強調不斷重覆發生的事、動作
● Mom is always telling children I love you. 媽媽總是告訴孩子們我愛你。
● Jam and Ann are constantly quarreling. 賈姆和安經常吵架。
● Jam and Ann are always arguing. 賈姆和安總是在吵架
● The government is always bragging about how much it has done for the people.政府總是在吹噓自己為人民做了多少事.

● When somebody is constantly complaining, it’s easy to think that they just have a negative outlook on life in the same way that a pessimist might. 當有人不斷抱怨時,很容易認為他們對生活的看法與悲觀主義者一樣。
★尤其與 always 或 constantly 等字連用來表示某一令人厭煩、不悅、惱怒或驚訝的事情經常發生
當現在進行式與 always, constantly 或 forever 等字連用時,它是在表示某一令人厭煩、不悅、惱怒或驚訝的事情經常發生。注意:它的語意與現在簡單式非常相似,但卻是在表達負面的情緒。
要將 always, constantly 或 forever 置於 BE 動詞和 V-ing 之間。
● Sarah is always coming to class late. (莎拉上課老是遲到)
● I don’t like them because they are always complaining. (我不喜歡他們,因為他們老是抱怨東抱怨西的)
● Annie is constantly talking. I wish she would shut up. (安妮老是嘰哩聒拉講個不停。我希望她閉嘴)
★非進行式動詞及若干混合動詞的非進行式用法
非進行式動詞不能用於任何進行式時態。再者,若干非進行式含意的混合動詞亦不能用於進行式。 不能用現在進行式的動詞, 必須使用現在簡單式。
● Linda loves this chocolate ice cream. (琳達喜歡這巧克力冰淇淋) (正)
● Linda is loving this chocolate ice cream. (琳達喜歡這巧克力冰淇淋) (誤)
★副詞的位置
always, usually, only, never, ever, still, just 等副詞通常位在 BE 動詞的後面。
● They are still watching TV. (他們還在看電視)
● Is she still playing the piano? (她還在彈鋼琴嗎?)
● Whenever you can’t find Sam, he is usually taking a bath. (每當你找不到山姆,他通常正在洗澡)
