| I am singing |
We often use the present continuous tense in English. It is very different from the simple present tense, both in structure and in use.
We use the present continuous tense to talk about:
- action happening now
- action in the future
Present continuous tense for action happening now
a) for action happening exactly now
| I am eating my lunch. | |||||
| past | present | future | |||
| The action is happening now. | |||||
Look at these examples. Right now you are looking at this screen and at the same time...
 |  |  |
| ...the pages are turning. | ...the candle is burning. | ...the numbers are spinning. |
b) for action happening around now
Look at these examples:
- Muriel is learning to drive.
- I am living with my sister until I find an apartment.
