 Present continuous tense used to:

ü  talk about activities happening now. Examples     The kids are watching TV.    I am sitting down, because I am tired.    I am not learning German, because this is an English class.    Who are you writing to? ü  talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment. Examples     Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week.     I am reading a really interesting book now.     How are you brushing up on your English for the trip?     We aren't working hard these days. ü  talk about activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events. Examples    I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday.    Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow.    Are you doing anything tonight?    We aren't going on holiday next week.
