| 'we use present continuous to talk about: temporary actions that are unusual from what we usually do most of the time. examples: I am eating very little this week. (I usually eat a lot but this week I am not eating much-i am on a diet). he is playing a lot of tennis these days.(he does not usually play tennis much but these days he is playing a lot). the company is losing money this year.(the company usually works for profit but this year they are losing money). you are working until late this month.(you usually work until 5 pm but this month you are working until 10 pm). do you think there could be suggested a better explanation? Thank you! |
