What to Focus On

  • Used for actions happening now or around now.
  • Also used for planned future events.
  • Structure: Subject + am/is/are + verb-ing
  • Describes an ongoing action in the past.
  • Used with a specific time in the past.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not all verbs can be used in continuous tenses; state verbs such as 'know', 'understand', 'belong', 'like', 'see', 'hear' are not normally used in continuous forms.

Present Continuous can also be used for planned future events, e.g., ‘We are going to Goa tomorrow.’

We can use 'always' with Present Continuous for any habit.

Memory Tips

Present Continuous Tense: Action happening now

Past Continuous Tense: Action ongoing in the past
