Present continuous








Ann is in  her car. She is on her way to work.
She is driving to work.
We can use the present continuous to talk about actions happening now.
What are you doing?  I am reading
But the action is not necessarily happening at the time speaking
Ex: I am reading an interesting book
We can use with the presnet continuous expressions like: at this moment, today, this year, this week, these days, etc.
Subject        +        verb Be   +   Ving
Affirmative form
He  is playing soccer
Negative form
He isn´t playing soccer
Interrogative form
Is he playing soccer?
