Present+Continuous

__**USES**__
 * Use the Present Continuous to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.
 * Example: I __am eating__ now. I __am not singing__ now.
 * In English, "now" can mean this second, today, this month, etc. So, we sometimes use this tense to express that we are in the process of doing something, a longer action, although we may not be doing it at this exact moment.
 * Example: I __am studying__ to become a lawyer. I __am reading__ Ken Follet's new book.
 * Sometimes, the Present Continuous can be used to indicate that something will happen or not in the near future.
 * Example: I __am meeting__ some friends tomorrow. I __am not going__ out tonight.

__ **FORM** __
 * Use the verb to be [in present] + verb//_ing//
 * Exceptions
 * A single silent "e" at the end of the word is dropped before ing: come -> coming
 * "ee" is not changed: agree -> agreeing
 * The final consonant after a short, stressed vowel is doubled before ing: sit -> sitting
 * The "l" as final consonant after a vowel is doubled (in BrE, usually in AmE it is just one "l"): travel -> travelling
 * An "ie" at the end of a word becomes y before ing: lie -> lying
