- We use the present continuous to say that we are in the middle of an action:
I`m waiting for the train. (I`m at the station now.)
I`m getting the lunch ready. (I`m in the kitchen now.) I`m waiting means that I am in the middle of a period of waiting. The wait is not yet over.
-We can also use the present continuous when we are in the middle of something but not actually doing it at the moment of speaking:
I must get hack to the office. We`re working on a new project.
I`m quite busy these days. I`m doing a course at college.
-We can use the present continuous when things are changing over a long period:
The number of cars on the road is increasing.
The earth is slowly getting warmer.
-For the future meaning of the present continuous:I`m playing badminton with Matthew tomorrow.
