2. The Present Continuous Tense

When the simple present tense of the verb 'to be' is used with a present participle then we form the present continuous tense. This tense shows the continuity of an action or state of being.

It is used:

●To denote an action going on at the time of speaking.

Example: The butterflies are flying, the goats are grazing, the sun is shining.

●For a temporary action which may not be happening at the time of speaking.

Example: Praveen is reading 'Heidi'. (but she is not reading at this moment.)

●   For an action that we have already decided to take in the near future.

Example: We are travelling to Ooty this summer.
