Present Continuous

The present continuous is a verb tense which is used to show that something is happening right now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future.

The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle or the –ing form. 

Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and am/is/are. Negatives are made with not.
