Be-have[edit]

No one says be before stating the present continuous, unless you want to sound Middle English / Pirate, the proper word used in the present is am. Be is used in the future after will, as in I will be going soon. - Cha-Otoko

People do say be, as in "You must be kidding". But I've changed to "a form of be", which is more accurate. Thanks.​—msh210 (talk) 15:22, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing that out. I think it would be best to point to the chart showing the different forms of be. - Cha-Otoko

Grammatical mistake[edit]

Should start with capital A. - Cha-Otoko

Indefinitely[edit]

The present contiuous,unless a condition is stated, happens indefinitely, "I am playing". - Cha-Otoko
