Present Continuous Tense

Present Continuous Tense:

Applications of Present Continuous Tense:

I. Present Continuous is used for an action which is going on at the time of speaking.

  Example:

  • I am learning English grammar.
  • He is writing an essay in the class.
  • II. Present continuous may also be used for an action which is not necessarily happening at the time of speaking.

      Example:

  • He is completing the first part of the project.
  •       In this sentence, present continuous is used to express the action of completing which is in progress. But it is not necessarily happening at the time of speaking. The speaker may talk about the progress of project but at the time when the office or the company is closed and nobody is working there. So, the action may not be necessarily happening at the time of speaking.

    III. Present Continuous Tense is also used for an action which is arranged to happen in the near future.

     Examples:

  • My mother is coming to meet ome tomorrow.
  • They are going to Opera House tonight.
  •       Both the actions coming and going in the first and the second sentences, are arranged to happen in the near future.
