PRESENT CONTINUOUS

or Present Progressive
USES

The present continuous is used to speak about something that

is happening at the moment in which we are speaking.

that is happening now, but not necessarily at the moment when
we are speaking.

The present continuous may also be used to talk about

something already decided in the near future.
