The present continuous tense is used to talk about an action that is happening now. It can also be used to talk about an action that will happen in the future.
It follows this structure:
- Subject + Auxiliary Verb "Be" + Verb + -ing.
- For example, I am writing.
- We are having a party tomorrow - future
It is also used to talk about something that is happening 'around now' eg
I am reading a good book. ( I am not reading it right now but maybe tonight or tomorrow)
