A brief explanation of the use of Present Continuous (progressive) in English

Education
1 of 1
Use of Present Continuous (Progressive) 1. Things that are happening right now He is eating his lunch right now. We are learning about the present continuous at the moment. 2. When things are not happening at the exact moment but happening at that moment in your life. It was not true at an earlier point in time. I am dating a new girl. He is working in the new office. 3. When we want to compare regular activities (with the present simple) and something that is different: We always eat there… …but today we are having lunch here. I pay my rent monthly. …but I am paying 2 month’s rent this month.
