D We often use be to + infinitive in //-clauses to say that something must take place first (in the main
clause) before something else can take place (in the //-clause):
ã are to survive ... John's being )
ã I'm going to be in Tokyo in May. (not I'm being in Tokyo )
We tend to avoid going to + go and use the present continuous form of go instead:
ã I'm going to town...
... She's carrying
(or was carrying) a bag full of shopping
We can also use the present simple and present continuous like this in
commentaries (for example, on sports events) and in giving instructions:
ã ... including our own behaviour:
ã They're constantly having parties until the early hours of the morning.
We use the past continuous (see Unit 6) in the same way:

present time. This is why we often use since with the present perfect:
ã Since I have lived in a small house near the coast.
ã Tom has been ill since...
... John's being )
ã I'm going to be in Tokyo in May. (not I'm being in Tokyo )
We tend to avoid going to + go and use the present continuous form of go instead:
ã I'm going to town ... bring a compass in case we get lost.
We use the present simple in that- and
tf/j-clauses
when both the main clause and the that-
/wb-
clause refer to the future. We don't use will in ... often use the past continuous for both:
ã Sally was reading to the children while Kevin was washing up.
ã Mario was working in a restaurant when I was living in London.
However, we can often use...
... stopped doing some things and started doing other things:
He stopped studying hard/going to bed early/running three miles e3very morning
He started smoking/going out in the evening/spending a lot ... covered in paint. She has been painting the ceiling.
Has been Painting is the present perfect
We are interested in the activity. It does not matter whether something has been finished or not. In ... I/he/she/it was playing/doing/working etc.
we/you/they were playing/doing/working etc.
B. We use the past continuous to say that somebody was in the middle of doing something at a certain time.
