    The Present Continuous is used to talk about things that are in progress at the time of speaking or around the time of speaking. It is formed with am/are/is and the main verb with the -ing ending. Some verbs have irregular formations when adding -ing, such as take off the -e and add -ing if the verb ends in -e. If the verb ends in a consonant preceded by a vowel, the final consonant is doubled before adding -ing. Time expressions like now, at the moment, these days can be used with the Present Continuous.
