Techmachimport has done a lot of business with Goodman & Co. for the last four years. Before Mr. Protsenko went to London, he and his experts had gone through he latest catalogues of the firm.

Grammar. The Present Continuous Tense

. Using the Present Continuous Tense

We most often use the Present Continuous when we talk about something which is happening at the time of speaking (now, at the moment):

Examples: Pamela is sleeping in the bedroom.

1. The telephone is ringing!

2. They are doing their homework.

3. I'm waiting for my girlfriend in front of the cinema.

Present Continuous is also used when we talk about something which is happening at present, but not necessarily at the moment of speaking:

Examples: 1. I'm reading an interesting book.

2. Tom is looking for a new job.

3. We are studying English and Spanish.

We can use the Present Continuous when we talk about temporary actions taking place only for a period of time (today, this week, this semester, this year):

Examples: 1. My husband is working hard today.

2. They are spending this week in Paris.

3. She is teaching English this semester.

4. We are staying at the Bristol Hotel tonight.

5. I'm living with my parents at the moment but soon I'll buy my own house.

Present Continuous is also used to express current trends:

Examples: 1. Fuel prices are rising constantly because of strong demand.

2. On-line shopping is growing rapidly nowdays.

We can use the Present Continuous when we talk about repeated actions which are irritating to the speaker (always, constantly):

Examples: 1. He is always complaining from his colleagues.

2. My son is always getting into trouble in school.

Sometimes we use the Present Continuous to describe a planned action in the near future:

Examples: 1. I'm leaving for Vienna tomorrow morning.

2. We are having lunch at 12.30 o'clock.
