Present Continuous (what is happening now)

Present Continuous describes an action in progress now (or a fixed near-future arrangement).

Form: am / is / are + verb + -ing.

• I am reading a book now.
• They are playing football.
• She is working this week.

Spelling: make → making, sit → sitting, lie → lying.

Negative: I'm not sleeping. · He isn't listening.

Question: Are you coming? · What is she doing?

Stative verbs usually stay simple at A1: I know, I like, I want, I have (possession) — not I am knowing.
