"在……呢"表示动作正在进行

HSK 1Lesson 13
"在……呢" for an Action in Progress
结构Pattern
主语 Subject在动词＋宾语 Verb + Object呢
我在看电视呢
王明在学习汉语呢
他们在吃饭呢
解释Explanation

"在＋动词＋呢"表示动作正在进行，像英语的"be doing"。"在"和"呢"可以一起用，也可以只用一个。问别人正在做什么，可以说"你在做什么呢？"

"在 + verb (+ object) + 呢" says that an action is happening right now, like English "be doing". You can use 在 and 呢 together, or just one of them: 他在睡觉 and 他睡觉呢 also work. To ask what someone is doing, say 你在做什么呢?
