Present Continuous

*When we talk about events that are actually happening now, we use the
present continuous tense. This is formed by using the stem of the verb and adding -
ing to the end, for example the verb "work" becomes "working". In some cases
you need to alter the spelling a bit for example the verb "die" becomes "dying".
It is also used to describe trends or situations that are happening but may be
temporary.
For example:
"Nowadays more and more people are shopping on the Internet."
...and habitual actions (usually negative).
For example:
"He's always cleaning his car."
The present continuous tense can also be used to discuss future events.
Note:-
The present continuous is usually used with doing verbs (verbs of action) not
with verbs of state. The following verbs are not used in the continuous form:-
Conditions: belong, cost, need, own, seem..
Feelings: like, love, hate, want, wish..
Beliefs: believe, feel, know, mean, remember, think, understand…
In the present continuous tense, negative forms are
made using NOT, and question forms are made by changing
the word order of the sentence.
1. Forming a negative:-
Negatives in the present continuous are formed by adding not or n't after the verb BE
Positive sentence Negative sentences Contracted negative
I am eating. I am not eating. I'm not eating.
You are working. You are not working. You aren't working.
He is driving. He is not driving. He isn't driving.

It is raining. It is not raining. It isn't raining.
We are reading. We are not reading. We aren't reading.
They are writing. They are not writing. They aren't writing.
2. Forming a question:-
Yes/no questions are created by moving the verb BE to the beginning of the sentence. WH-questions are formed by moving the verb BE, and then adding the WH- word.
Statement Yes/no question WH- question
