Present Progressive:

We use this form of the present to describe actions happening now, at present as opposed to those actions which happen on a regular basis.

This burger is jumping.(it is jumping NOW because I have just added some real hot chilly sauce!)

Remember to use your dictionary to double letters before adding the –ing (sitting, running forgetting etc.)

Don’t forget what your teacher told you about stative verbs which you usually use in the Present Simple tense.

(I hate fish!

I understand you now)

Another thing worth remembering is that you can use this tense to express resentment:

This dog is always barking !

My mother is always shouting at me!
