The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening right now or are ongoing. For example, “I am studying English” means the action is in progress at this moment. It’s also used to talk about future plans, such as “I am meeting my friend tomorrow.”
One tricky part of the present continuous is knowing when to use it versus the present simple. For instance, “I work” (present simple) refers to a general habit, while “I am working” (present continuous) refers to what’s happening right now. Many learners struggle with these differences and how to apply them in real-life conversations.
