Продолженные времена (continuous tenses) обозначают действие в процессе его развития в определенный момент в настоящем, прошедшем или будущем.
Некоторые глаголы не могут выражать действие или состояние как процесс, совершающийся в определенный момент и, следовательно, употребляться в этом времени. К ним относятся: to love, to want, to like, to hate, to wish, to desire - желать, to see, to hear, to feel, to notice, to know, to understand, to consist – состоять, to belong, to recognize – узнавать, to be.
Со временем группы Continuous обычно употребляется:
1. Present Continuous: now, right now, just now, at the moment, today, this week (month), these days, tonight (this evening)
2. Past Continuous: at that time, all day (night) long, at six o’clock, the whole evening (morning, afternoon), from seven to nine.
3. Future Continuous: at this time tomorrow (next week, month), at 10 o’clock on Friday.
