to the momentary idea, such as: now, in
this moment, today, currently, nowadays.
Eg:

Daniel
is playing football in this
moment.
Chiara and Pedro are walking to the school

Eg: I am NOT watching TV.

Chiara and Pedro are NOT walking to the
school.
Negative
sentences also accept an adverb emphasizing the moment of speaking as well as
the shortened form of the verb to be.
Eg:
I am NOT watching TV now.
Daniel
is NOT playing football in this
moment.
Chiara and Pedro are NOT walking to the
school today
The
shortened form admits two possibilities, except for the first person singular.
Eg:
A) I’m NOT watching TV now.
Daniel’s NOT playing football in
this moment.
Chiara and Pedro’re NOT walking to
the school today.
B) I am
NOT watching TV now.
Daniel isn’t
playing football in this moment.
Chiara and
Pedro aren’t walking to the school today.
For the interrogative sentences it is
necessary to place the verb initially, then the subject, then the verb-ing and
the complement. Also we can start a question with a wh-word and then the verb
to be, subject, verb-ing and the complement of the interrogative sentence.
