PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE
ENGLISH AS A MEANS OF PROMOTING
MODULE 1
Today they are having an excursion to our plant.
The delegation is carrying on negotiations with our firm.
Writing a new play now.
Обратите внимание на форму are having. Как правило глагол to have не используется в Сontinuous Tense в значении "to possess" (обладать). В этом примере are having an excursion = are going sight-seeing.
Об этом и других глаголах, которые не используются в Сontinuous Tense см.Unit 3
.(c) Мы часто используем present continuous, когда мы говорим об определенном периоде времени. Например: today, this season и т.д.:
- We are leaving tomorrow at six.
- They are playing with this team in a week.
(d)Мы используем present continuous, когда мы говорим об изменении ситуации:
- The population of the world is rising very fast. (а не `rises')
- Is your French getting better? (а не `does ... get')
