    When do we use the PRESENT CONTINUOUS?
    We use the Present Continuous to talk about:
    actions happening now (azione in corso mentre si
    sta parlando // azione che si svolge in questo
    periodo o una tendenda // azione che si ripete
    continuamente)
    I am eating my lunch now.
    John is talking to his sister.
    We are studying English.
    People are becoming vegetarian.
    You can also use it when referring to actions in the future
    (azioni che sono già state programmate e organizzate)
    Future words:
    tomorrow
    next year
    in June
    at Christmas
    etc...
    For example:
    I am meeting my boyfriend tonight.
    We are going to London tomorrow.
    Verbi che NON reggono il
    present continuous
    Di solito sono verbi che si riferiscono a uno stato piuttosto
    che ad azioni o processi:

    Sensi/percezioni (feel, hear, see, smell,


    taste)
    Opinione (believe, consider, think)
    Emozioni (hate, dislike, like, love, prefer,
    want, wish)
