He is running over the sand to a swing, then to a seesaw. 6. Looking down, the Little Sand Horse sees a rabbit. 7. The two little friends are playing on the seesaw. 8.

To form the Present Continuous tense, we use the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) followed by the present participle form of the main verb (ending in -ing). The Present Continuous tense is used to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking or actions happening around the current time.

In the given sentences, the Present Continuous tense is used to describe ongoing actions or situations. Let's analyze each sentence:

1. An old man is sitting on the seashore. - The old man is currently sitting on the seashore.

2. He is just sitting and drawing with a stone on the sand. - He is currently sitting and drawing with a stone on the sand.

3. He is drawing a little horse. - He is currently in the process of drawing a little horse.

4. Now I am going home. - The speaker is currently going home.

5. He is running over the sand to a swing, then to a seesaw. - He is currently running over the sand to a swing, and then to a seesaw.

6. Looking down, the Little Sand Horse sees a rabbit. - The Little Sand Horse, while looking down, currently sees a rabbit.

7. The two little friends are playing on the seesaw. - The two little friends are currently playing on the seesaw.

8. They are talking and laughing and having fun. - They are currently talking, laughing, and having fun.

To form the negative form of the Present Continuous tense, we add "not" after the verb "to be." Let's form the negative sentences for the given statements:

1. An old man is not sitting on the seashore. 2. He is not just sitting and drawing with a stone on the sand. 3. He is not drawing a little horse. 4. Now I am not going home. 5. He is not running over the sand to a swing, then to a seesaw. 6. Looking down, the Little Sand Horse does not see a rabbit. 7. The two little friends are not playing on the seesaw. 8. They are not talking and laughing and having fun.

Remember, the Present Continuous tense describes actions happening at the moment or around the current time.
