The Cambridge grammar book says that; we do not use these verbs ( like, love, want, understand, remember, depend, prefer, hate, need, mean, believe, forget ) in the present continuous. not true
But in the Longman grammar book there's a sentence like this: I'm always forgetting people's birthdays. It's so annoying.  So which one is true? | 2006 |
