Present Continuous
We use the Present Continuous: For actions taking place now, at the moment of speaking. (I’m learning now.) For temporary actions; that is action that are going on around now, but not at the actual moment of speaking. (I’m looking for a job these days.) With adverbs such as: always, constlanty, continually, etc. For actions which happen very often, usually to express annoyance, irritation or anger. I’m always meeting Alex when I go shopping You’re constantly interrupting me when I’m talking. For changing or developing situations. More and more species are becoming extinct.
