7. PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

8. USES The PRESENT PREOGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something going on now. This tense is formed with the helping “to be” verb, in the present tense, plus the present participle of the verb (with an “ing” ending): - I am waiting for my results - Jorge is studying the market in the zone. The present progressive can suggest that an action is going to happen in the future, especially with verbs that convey the idea of a plan or of movement from one place to another. - The team is arriving in two hours. - He’s studying at Campus Monterrey this summer. Because the present progressive can suggest either the present or the future, it is usually modified by adverbs of time. Generally, progressive forms occur only with what are called dynamic verbs and not with stative verbs.
