This tense is also sometimes called the present progressive.
The present continuous tense is used for:
(1) describing what you are doing at the time you are speaking, e.g. “I am working to improve bus reliability in Romford, using new technology that tells the traffic signals if a bus is running late against its schedule.”
(2) describing a temporary state or action, e.g. “I have lost over £40,000 so far and at the moment I am living off savings after selling my house.”
(3) using with “always” to describe a habit, e.g. “I am always cooking and being creative.”
(4) describing future arrangements, e.g. “I am going to Germany in October and decided to book in August as I thought it would be cheaper.”
