PRESENT CONTINUOS FORMS

Use the Present Continuos with normal verbs to express the idea that something its happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something its not happening now.

Examples:

In English, now can mean: this second, today, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes we use the Present Continuos to say that we are in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second. 

Examples:

Examples:

USE 4 Atmosphere in future

In English, we often use a series of parallel actions to describe atmosphere at specific point in the future.

Example:

· When I arrive at the party, everybody is going to be celebrating. Some will be dancing. Others are going to be talking. A few people will be eating pizza, and several people are going to be drinking beer. They always does the same thing.

FUTURE PERFECT

Future perfect for action that will be completed by a certain time in the future. --Whithin 20 years, they will have found a way for us to get all our news through computers.
