Present Continuous Dictation: Actions Now and Temporary Situations

A2 Level

English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made

Present continuous dictation helps you hear am, is, or are before a verb ending in -ing. These A2 sentences describe actions happening at the moment of speaking and situations that are true for a short time. Listen for cues such as now, right now, this week, and these days to identify the intended meaning.

Type the complete sentence, including the auxiliary and correct word order. Notice natural contractions such as I'm, we're, and aren't. Punctuation is not scored, and safe expanded forms are accepted, but a missing auxiliary or a simple-tense verb changes the sentence.
