PRESENT CONTINUOUS
We use the present continuous for things that are happening
at the moment of speaking. These things usually last for
quite a short time and they are not finished when we are
talking about them.

● I'm working at the moment.

● Please call back as we are eating dinner now.
● Julie is sleeping.
