PRESENT CONTINUOUS

The present continuous is made from the verb to be and the –ing form of a verb: AM/ARE/IS +
-ING
I am working // You are playing // He is dancing // We are talking

We use the present continuous to talk about:


 activities at the moment of speaking:
I'm just leaving work. I'll be home in an hour. Please be quiet. The children are sleeping.
 future plans or arrangements:
Mary is going to a new school next term. What are you doing next week?

 something which is happening before and after a specific time:


At eight o'clock we are usually having breakfast.
When I get home the children are doing their homework.

 something which is changing, growing or developing:


The children are growing up quickly. Your English is improving.
The climate is changing rapidly.
 something which happens again and again:
It's always raining in London. They are always arguing.
George's always laughing.
*Note that we normally use always with this use.
