We use Present Continuous to talk
about :
-Actions that are happening now.
Example:
-What are you doing? We are watching
a horror film
-Actions that are happening at
present, but not necessarily at this
moment.
Example:
- I am studying English at the
University this year.
Really?...

-Subject + Verb to be in Present + Verb-ing
+ Complement.
I = am + Verb-ing.
Example:
I am playing.
You, we and they = are + Verb-ing.
Example:
They are playing.
He, she, it = is + Verb-ing.
Example:
She is playing.

-Subject + Verb to be in Present + “Not” +
Verb-ing + Complement.
