Salam!
Today, we will review Negative in Present Continuous Tense. If you need more help on this, please go back to Lesson 73 and Useful Drills 74. All you have to do now is to follow the examples below and finish the job. Good luck!
Note: Negative in Present Continuous Tense is not very common in Persian. Generally speaking, we use Negative in Simple Present Tense for Negative in Present Continuous Tense. However, to help you to learn this section better, I have given you the Persian translation in Present Continuous Tense (with ‘daram, dari, darad, darim, darid, darand’ after the subjective pronouns). Feel free to delete ‘daram, dari, darad, darim, darid, darand’ from your sentences. In other words, Negative in Present Continuous Tense is almost the same as Negative in Simple Present Tense. See the example below.
