Brad is working there as a tour guide over the summer.  sucesos que se están produciendo actualmente, aunque no en este mismo momento Ejemplo: He is staying at a youth hostel.  situaciones que están evolucionando, cambiando Ejemplo: The town is becoming more and more popular because of its beautiful beaches.

Gerundios: excepciones 

Cuando el infinitivo acaba en e, esta se elimina (aunque en el caso de ee, oe o ye no hay cambios). Ejemplo: come – coming agree – agreeing  En palabras con una vocal de pronunciación corta antes de la consonante final, se dobla la consonante final (excepto si termina en w, y o x, que no se duplicarán). Ejemplo: sit – sitting (pero: mix – mixing)  En inglés británico la l final tras una vocal se dobla siempre (no así en inglés estadounidense). Ejemplo: travel – travelling (inglés británico), traveling (inglés estadounidense)  Al final de la palabra se remplaza ie por y. Ejemplo: lie – lying
