 PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE OR PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE

1. PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE - DIFFERENT USES:

 We use the present continuous tense to talk about the present: for something that is happening at the moment of speaking:

I’m just leaving work. I’ll be home in an hour.

Please be quiet. The children are sleeping.

 for something which is happening before and after a given time:

At eight o’clock we are usually having breakfast.

When I get home the children are doing their homework.

 for something which we think is temporary:

Michael is at university. He’s studying history.

I’m working in London for the next two weeks.

 for something which is new and contrasts with a previous state:

These days most people are using email instead of writing letters.
What sort of clothes are teenagers wearing nowadays? What sort of music are they listening to?

 to show that something is changing, growing or developing:

The children are growing quickly.

The climate is changing rapidly.
