asseoir in present continious

MuratC1Kwiziq community member

It's said "Je suis assis entre Léa et Tim" above.

Firstly; Is there a present continuous form in french?

And why do we use "être" in this sentence?

Hi Murat,

Je m'assois /Je m'assieds is the present form or I am sitting in French.

Je suis assis ... is I am sat/seated between Lea and Tim ( more the result of sitting down)

Hope this helps!

No present continuous in French as far as I know. It’s a tense that only exists in English
