Tenses Questions Medium
The present continuous tense can be used in conditional sentences to express actions or situations that are happening at the present moment or are planned for the future. In conditional sentences, the present continuous tense is used to indicate a condition that is likely to happen or is expected to happen in the future.
For example:
- If it is raining tomorrow, we will stay at home. (The present continuous tense "is raining" indicates a future condition that is likely to happen.)
- If she is studying hard, she will pass the exam. (The present continuous tense "is studying" indicates an ongoing action that is expected to lead to a future result.)
In these examples, the present continuous tense is used to express a condition that is not yet fulfilled but is expected to happen in the future. It emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action or situation and its connection to the future outcome.
