Present progressive

[Bahrain rose]

Hi everybody,

1.(( Next week , I am moving to the island of crete ,
I am renting villa there for the summer ))

why do they say : ( I am moving , I am renting ) not ( I am going to move . I am going to rent ) ? Or are they the same ?

2. We learnt that there are some verbs which we can not add (ing) in the end of them . like : ( love,hate.need,apear,seem,want) and the verbs which belong to the senses .
Will you give me more examples plz.

Best regards,
Rose

1- I am moving = the arrangements have been made- it's more than a plan or intention, it's fixed.
2- Understand, comprehend (however, you wil find cases where they do have progressive forms- it's not always an absolute rule)
+ modals
