Present Continuous Tense:-

In English, the present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking or writing. It can also be used to describe actions that are temporary or in progress.

The present continuous is formed using the present tense of the auxiliary verb "to be" and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb. Here are some examples:

Positive form:

I am eating lunch. (I am in the process of eating lunch at the moment.)

She is studying for her exams. (She is in the process of studying at the moment.)

They are playing soccer. (They are in the process of playing soccer at the moment.)

Negative form:

Negative forms of the present continuous are made by adding "not" after the auxiliary verb "to be." Here are some examples:

I am not eating lunch. (I am not in the process of eating lunch at the moment.)

She is not studying for her exams. (She is not in the process of studying at the moment.)

They are not playing soccer. (They are not in the process of playing soccer at the moment.)

Question/Interrogative form:

Questions in the present continuous are formed by placing the auxiliary verb "to be" before the subject. Here are some examples:

Am I eating lunch? (Am I in the process of eating lunch at the moment?)

Is she studying for her exams? (Is she in the process of studying at the moment?)

Are they playing soccer? (Are they in the process of playing soccer at the moment?)
