There are the twelve senses of time (tense). According to the sense of time, we need to use our verb. As of now we have discussed about daily routine action, past activities and future plan. We have done with three very important tenses that is Present simple, past simple and Future simple tense.

 

Present continuous- When we use the present continuous to speak, it means that the action is happening at the time of speaking or we're imagining ... Means the action that is going on right now or at this moment. 

It is formed using the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) followed by the present participle (Actioning) of the main verb (verb + -ing).
