Default Does Present Progressive have to "-ing"
Does Present Progressive tense (Present Continuous) have to follow the rule am/is/are following by -ing form?

The sentence which confuses me is:-

We're off to the cinema later.

I am pretty sure that this is a present tense - but it doesn't seem to fit Present Simple, Present Continuous or Present Perfect.

I think it is Present Continous but it doesn't have -ing.

Your help would be appreciated.

Regards
Christine
