Is the present continuous or simple? She’s a boy and everybody else is running around. “There are many children playing in the street. They seem rather impatient.”
What are the children doing on the street and why do you seem so frustrated? What
is tense-wise for you?
What should be the example of present continuous tenses? My first instinct was no, but the omitted “who are” is throwing me off.
There are children…? “She has it” is participle Construction.
Whereas, “Childrean are playing there, on the street” would be present progressive. Can you make a tense marker like “currently”? We come to a decision that might fill that role. The “there” might fill that. At least it is certainly not the subject of a SVO; so, “are children…” is a V2-Inversion and it uses present progressive (or continuous).
