• PRESENT CONTINUOUS
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 we think is temporary:
Michael is at university. He’s studying history. (HE WILL FINISH STUDYING SOMEDAY)
I’m working in London for the next two weeks. (THEN HE WILL COME BACK TO HIS
COUNTRY)
