Present
Continuos
Events at the time of speaking
Temporary states
Repeated temporary events
- Present Continuous is a verbal time that is used in many
situations:
We use the present continuous to talk about events which are
in progress at the moment of speaking:
A: What time’s dinner?
B: I’m  cooking  now so it’ll be ready in about half an hour.
She’s pressing the button but nothing is happening.
We use the present continuous to talk about temporary states
which are true around the moment of speaking:
- Her mother’s living with her at the moment. She’s just come
out of hospital.
- Who’s looking after the children while you’re here?
We use the present continuous to describe actions which are
repeated or regular, but which we believe to be temporary:
- I’m not drinking much coffee these days. I’m trying  to cut
down.
- She’s working a lot in London at the moment. (She doesn’t
usually work in London.)
