The present continuous tense is one which is commonly used within the English language and often uses the -ing form of a verb, for example ‘she is running.’ We can see that the sentence is happening continuously in the present moment.

The present continuous verb tense, also known as the present progressive, is used to describe an action that is currently happening or may happen in the future.

The present continuous tense is typically used for the following four general cases:

✳️To describe events that are happening at the current time

✳️To discuss an event that is temporary in nature, will continue into the future, but end at a particular time

✳️To list future plans

✳️To describe a new pattern or a habit

⏺️The structure of the Present Continuous Tense is:

S + am/is/are (not) + V-ing +….

Examples:

He is playing.

She isn’t cooking.

Am/is/are + S + V-ing +…?

Example:

Am I annoying you? (which is to ask whether I am annoying you.)
