    The document discusses the present continuous and past continuous tenses in English. The present continuous describes actions that are occurring at the moment of speaking, using verbs like "be" plus the "-ing" form of the main verb. The past continuous describes actions occurring at a specific moment in the past, also using a form of "be" plus the "-ing" verb. It provides examples for both tenses and notes that stative verbs like think, feel, see are not usually used in the continuous form.
