The present continuous (also called present progressive) is a verb tense which is used to show that an ongoing action that is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future.
Use the present continuous with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Examples:
Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. Examples:
