1. As you can see the present continuous tense is most often used in English grammar to describe a continuing action, something that in unfinished. This tense is also important since it is a simple sentence structure that can show actions or events that are happening right now, in the planned future, or sometimes even in the past.
2. The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are. Ejemplo: She is singing at church today The following are basic examples of the present continuous tense. Ej: He is crying. She is talking to her friend.
3. As with all tenses in English, the speaker's attitude is as important as the time of the action or event. When someone uses the present continuous, they are thinking about something that is unfinished or incomplete. We only use the Present Continuous tense to talk about the future when we have planned to do something before we speak. We have already made a decision and a plan before speaking.
4. Example: He’s swimming. (happening now) I am reading an excellent book. (in progress) She going to the park on Saturday. (near future) My dad is working on a solution to fix the leak. They are trying to solve the problem. I am training for a marathon.
