PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE

1. We use the present continuous for things that are happening at the moment of speaking. These things usually last for quite a short time and they are not finished when we are talking about them. (जब कोई चीज़ बोलने के समय हो रही हो. यह चीज़ें अक्सर कम समय के लिए होती हैं और हमारे बात करते समय वे पूरी नहीं होती.)

a. I'm working at the moment.

2. We can also use this tense for other kinds of temporary situations, even if the action isn't happening at this moment. (अस्थायी स्तिथियों के लिए भी इस काल का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है, यदि कार्य इस समय न हो रहा हो तो भी.)

a. John's working in a bar until he finds a job in his field. (He might not be working now.)

इसकी सामान्य वर्तमान काल से तुलना करें, जोकि सताई स्तिथियों के लिए इस्तेमाल किया जाता है जो हमें लगता है लम्बे समय तक चलेंगी.
a. I work in a school. (I think this is a permanent situation.)
b. I'm working in a school. (I think this is a temporary situation.)

3. We can use the present continuous for temporary or new habits (for normal habits that continue for a long time, we use the present simple). We often use this with expressions like 'these days' or 'at the moment'. (Present continuous tense अस्थायी या नयी आदतों के लिए भी इस्तेमाल किया जाता है.)

a. He's eating a lot these days.
b. She's swimming every morning (she didn't use to do this).

4. Another present continuous use is for habits that are not regular, but that happen very often. In this case we usually use an adverb like 'always', 'forever' or 'constantly'. Often, we use the present continuous in this way to talk about an annoying habit. (वे आदतें जोकि नियमित तौर पर नहीं होती मगर अक्सर होती है.)
a. You're forever losing your keys!
b. She's constantly missing the train.

Future Uses

5. For definite future arrangements. In this case we have already made a plan and we are pretty sure that the event will happen in the future. (जब हमने कोई प्लान बनाया हो और हमें पता हो कि वह भविष्य में होगा ही.)

a. I'm meeting my father tomorrow.

Present Progressive Tense examples:

1. Sam and Jack are fishing off the pier.

2. He is hiding

3. They are hugging

4. He is jumping

5. Zara is playing

When to use Adverbs of Frequency (आवृत्ति का क्रिया विशेषण):

a. Always use adverbs of frequency to discuss how often something happens. (Adverbs of frequency हम तब इस्तेमाल करते हैं जब हमें बताना हो कोई चीज़ कितनी बार होती है)

b. Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they are often used with the present simple tense. (नियमित रूप से होने वाली क्रिया का संकेत देने के लिए adverbs of frequency का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है, इनका इस्तेमाल अक्सर सामान्य वर्तमान काल के साथ किया जाता है)

c. If a sentence has only one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. (यदि किसी वाक्य में एक ही क्रिया हो तो adverb of frequency को वाक्य के बीच में रखा जाता है ताकि वह वषय के बाद आये लेकिन क्रिया के पहले)
For example: Tom never flies. He always takes the bus.

d. When a sentence contains more than one verb, place the adverb of frequency before the main verb. (जब किसी वाक्य में एक से ज़्यादा क्रिया हो तो मुख्य क्रिया के पहले adverb of frequency को रखा जाता है)
For example: They have often visited Europe.

e. When using an adverb of frequency in the negative or in forming a question, place it before the main verb. (जब नकारात्मक वाक्य या सवाल पूछ रहे हों तब adverb of frequency मुख्य क्रिया के पहले आता है.)
For example: Do you usually get up so late?

Adverbs of Frequency:

1. Always: हमेशा
E.g. Jack and I are always fighting.

2. Usually: अक्सर
E.g. I am usually on time.

3. Normally: आम तौर पर
E.g. What time do you normally get up?

4. Frequently: अक्सर
E.g. How frequently do you exercise?

5. Often: अक्सर
E.g. We often go to watch plays.

6. Sometimes: कभी-कभी

7. Occasionally: कभी-कभी

8. Seldom:  शायद ही कभी
E.g. We seldom travel.

9. Rarely: कभी कभार
E.g. I rarely eat sea food.

10. Never: कभी नहीं
E.g. I never go to the museum.

Dressing up for an interview:

When you have to give an interview, dressing properly is of utmost importance because technically speaking - your interview starts the moment you enter the room. The panel will judge you by the clothes you are wearing; if you dress too casually, they will feel that you are not sincere enough.

Tips for dressing right:

1. Clothing should be neat, clean, and well ironed.

2. Wear deodorant. However, don't wear too much perfume.

3. Make sure that you have fresh breath. Brush your teeth before you leave for the interview. Don't smoke right before an interview or the stench will continue to follow you around. Never enter the interview room while chewing gum.

4. Your hair should be neat, clean, well set.

5. Your nails should be neatly trimmed. For women, if you plan to wear nail polish, wear a neutral colour, and avoid very long nails.

6. Your shoes should be polished.

7. Carry a portfolio or briefcase to hold all your documents.

8. Conceal your tattoos with clothing or make up.

9. For men, either go clean shaven or if you have a beard, trim it properly.

What to wear - For Men:

1. Wear a Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey): A coat, shirt, and trousers. Avoid wearing jeans.

2. Long sleeve shirt, neatly tucked in (white or coordinated with the suit).

3. Sober Belt.

4. A tie that is not flashy.

5. Dark socks, with conservative leather shoes (ideally lace-up).

6. No jewelry.

What to wear - For Women (Western wear):

1. Generally, you should wear a suit with a skirt or pants. Knee-length skirts are suggested. When in doubt, pick the more conservative route.

2. Interview suits should be simple and dark in color.

3. Wear a conservative shirt/blouse with your suit. Do not wear bright colors, animal prints, or anything lacy, sheer, or low-cut.

4. Make-up and nail polish should be understated; shades that are neutral to your skin tone are generally advisable. Avoid bright or unusual colors or very long nails.

5. Keep your jewelry and hair accessories to a minimum, and stick to those that are not flashy, distracting, or shiny. One ring per hand is best, if necessary.

6. Shoes should be conservative and fairly low-heeled, while closed shoes are ideal. They should be in a reasonably good condition, not scuffed or run-down at the heels.

What to wear - For Women (Indian wear):

1. If you are wearing an Indian outfit, choose a simple saree or salwar kameez. Pick colours that are light. Dupattas or saree pallus should be pleated and pinned neatly.

2. Avoid elaborate Indian outfits, and go very low on the bling.

How to say it when you're not feeling well:

To say what's wrong, use the verb "to be" with "well", "sick", or "ill." You can also use "to be" with "feeling" and an adverb to show the problem continues and to explain how bad it is. (यदि आपको कहना है कि कुछ ठीक नहीं है तो आप "to be" क्रिया का इस्तेमाल "well", "sick" या "ill" के साथ कर सकते हैं. आप "to be" क्रिया को "भाव" के साथ लिख सकते हैं यह बताने के लिए की problem कितनी बड़ी है.)

Negative form: नकारात्मक रूप
No, I'm not very well.

Use verb "to be" with present continuous to say the problem is ongoing. (यदि प्रॉब्लम अभी भी चल रही है तो आप कह सकते हैं:)
No, I'm not feeling very well.

Use "don't" and "doesn't" with the base form of "to feel." ("To feel" के साथ "don't" या "doesn't" का इस्तेमाल करें:)
No, I don't feel very well.

In UK English, "I'm feeling sick" or "I feel sick" mean you might vomit. ("I'm feeling sick" या "I feel sick" का मतलब है आपको उल्टी आ सकती है)
No, I'm sick.

"ill" is more often used in UK English. "Sick" is more common in US English. (आम तौर पर UK में "ill" शब्द का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है और US में "sick" शब्द का.
No, I feel ill.
No, I'm feeling ill.

Also,

Use "have" and "has" with "ache," "pain," and "broken" to say what's wrong. You can also say which part of the body "hurts."
E.g. She has a stomachache. (उसके पेट में दर्द है)

Use "have" with "broken."
Use a part of the body with "hurts" to say where the pain is.
