The te-form of action verb + "imasu (iru)"


If the verb indicates an action that can continue once started "to be -ing", such as "tabemasu" or "hanashimasu", it has the meaning above. Thus, "tabeteiru"=I am eating.


Other verbs of this kind are "nomimasu, arukimasu, hashirimasu, utaimasu, oyogimasu, kakimasu, mimasu, tsukaimasu, tsukurimasu, yasumimasu, benkyoushimasu, aimasu".

Drinking coffee – Ko-hi- o nonde imasu

Drank coffee – Ko-hi- o nomimashita


I am writing a letter to friend – Tomodachi ni tegami o (kaku)kaite imasu

I am not writing postcard to friend – Tomodachi ni hagaki wa kaite imasen

I am singing oddies – Mukashi no uta o (utau)utatte imasu

I am not singing new song – Atarashii uta wa utatte imasen


Q : What are you doing? – Nani o (suru)shite imasu ka?

A : Swimming at the pool – Pu-ru de (oyogu)oyoide imasu



The te-form of verb + "iru/ imasu"

1. A continuing action at a certain point in time (E.g. I am studying Japanese now.)


2. A state or condition that was created by a previous action or event and that is still maintained at a certain point in time. (E.g. I have been studied (or studying) Japanese for two years.)
