Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions in Warming up 4. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.2. Learning GrammarWe can see that the verbs are all used in the “ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be preplanned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as e, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “ing” form to express future actions.3.
