PRESENT CONTINUOUS

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

USES

•  1. The present continuous is used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we speak

  
  

  2. We use the present continuous to talk about something that is already decided to be done in the near future. Its use indicates that it is fairly certain that what is planned will happen.

  
  

  3. We also use it to talk about something that is happening now but not necessarily when we speak. In this case, we use time expressions such as "currently", "lately" or "these days".
