The document discusses the present continuous and past continuous tenses in English. The present continuous is formed using the present tense of the verb "to be" plus the present participle of the main verb. Similarly, the past continuous uses the past tense of "to be" plus the main verb's present participle. Examples of affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences are provided for both tenses.
