RULE 01: PRESENT PROGRESSIVE USE

 

 

 

 

 

Ø    We use the present progressive to say that things are happening now or around now. Signalwords are now, at the moment, these days, today and so on.

 

I’m sorry, I can’t come out. I’m working just now. (COMPARE I work on Mondays.)

 

 

Look – it’s raining again. (COMPARE It rains every day here.)
