To form sentences in the present continuous tense, the structure used is 'subject + is/am/are + verb-ing.' Examples include 'Leena is attending school on Saturday' and 'Kris is flying to Manali on 20th March.' Each situation is rephrased using this structure to convey ongoing actions.

To create sentences in the present continuous tense, it's important to use a form of the verb 'to be' (am, is, are) followed by a verb ending in '-ing.' This tense is often used for actions happening at the moment of speaking or for planned future events. Let's apply these rules to each situation:

Leena agreed to be in school on Saturday. (attend) Leena is attending school on Saturday.

Who: Leena
What: Attending school
When: On Saturday


Kris has a plane ticket to Manali, dated 20th March. (fly) Kris is flying to Manali on 20th March.

Who: Kris
What: Flying to Manali
When: On 20th March


Sana and Dani booked a hall for their dance performance. (perform) Sana and Dani are performing their dance in the hall.

Who: Sana and Dani
What: Performing a dance
Where: In the hall


Rupa has a train ticket to Ooty. (go) Rupa is going to Ooty by train.

Who: Rupa
What: Going to Ooty
How: By train



By following this structure, you can effectively write sentences in the present continuous tense for various planned future activities.
