The document discusses the present continuous tense in English, which is used to describe actions that are happening now or over a short period of time in the future. It provides examples of sentences in the present continuous, such as "You are learning English now" and "They are not watching television." The document also explains that the present continuous is formed by combining the present tense of the verb "to be" with the present participle (verb + -ing) of the main verb. It gives the affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms of the present continuous across subjects.

1. The Present Continuous is used for actions going on in the moment of
speaking and for actions taking place only for a short period of time. It
is also used to express development and actions that are arranged for
the near future. Present continuous is also known as present progressive
Examples:
 You are learning English now.
 I am sitting.
 I am not standing.
 They are reading their books.
 They are not watching television.

2. FORMING THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS
The present continuous of any verb is composed of two parts - the
present tense of the verb to be + the present participle of the main
verb plus -ing.
In negative sentences, we put not between the form of be and the verb.
In questions, we simply swop the places of subject and the form of be.
