Present Progressive http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/presentcontinuous.html

FORM of the Present Progressive [am/is/are + present participle] Examples: You are watching TV. Are you watching TV? You are not watching TV

USES of the Present Progressive USE 1 Now Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Examples: You are learning English now. You are not swimming now. Are you sleeping?

USES of the Present Progressive USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second. Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.) I am studying to become a doctor. I am not studying to become a dentist. I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.

USE 3 Near Future Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. Examples: I am meeting some friends after work. I am not going to the party tonight. Is he visiting his parents next weekend? Temporary situations

USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with "Always" The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like Simple Present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing." Examples: She is always coming to class late. He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up. I don't like them because they are always complaining.

Temporary events may be in progress at the moment of speaking: MORE Examples: Temporary events may be in progress at the moment of speaking: The river is flowing very fast after last night's rain. We also use the Present Progressive to describe current trends: People are becoming less tolerant of smoking these days.

ADVERB PLACEMENT The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples: You are still watching TV. Are you still watching TV?
