The continuous present
The tense of a verb tells us when the action was done. The action can be done in the past, present or future.
When do I use the present tense?
There are two types of present tense -
2. Present continuous
Use the present continuous form of a verb when:
The action isn't a single action, it is an action that carries on. It is good for describing what people are doing at a particular moment.
e.g. I am kicking the ball.
He is walking the dog.
The present continuous is made by having am, is or are + the verb + 'ing'.
I am working hard
you
we
they are working hard
he
she
it
is working hard
NOTE! Sometimes you can use the present continuous to talk about the future.
e.g. I am going on holiday on Friday.
