Present Progressive Tense

Used to describe an ongoing action in the present.
Can be used to describe a future activity, especially when the activity has been planned or arranged.

Forming the Present Progressive Tense

Formed using the present participle of the verb and the auxiliary verb "be."
Present participle is formed by adding "-ing" to the base form of the verb (e.g., walking, eating, sleeping).

Present Participle

The "-ing" form of a verb, used to form the present progressive tense.
For verbs ending in "e," the "e" is dropped before adding "-ing" (e.g., "write" becomes "writing").

"She is eating."
"They are sleeping."
"We are going to the party tomorrow." (Future use)
