What is the present continuous tense?

The present continuous tense, also known as the present progressive tense, is a verb tense used to describe actions that are happening at the present moment or are in progress. It is formed by using the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form). This tense is used to express temporary actions, ongoing situations, or future plans. For example, "I am studying for my exam," "She is playing soccer," or "They are going to the movies tonight."
