• Present Continuous

• 
• Use the present continuous with actions or events in progress (happening now). Do NOT use the present continuous with habits or actions/events that happen often.

  
  

  He is watching TV now. (In progress)

  He watches TV every day after school. (Habit)

  He is watching TV every day after school.

  
  

  Be careful! Don't use stative verbs* with present continuous. 

  I need a pen. 

  I am needing a pen.

  
  

  *Remember! A stative verb shows a state, not an action. Common stative verbs are like, be, want, need, and have.
