Theory you need to know! Teoria que voc precisa saber!

O Present Continuous usado para expressar a idia de que algo est ocorrendo ou no neste exato momento, indicar algo em andamento, em progresso, e normalmente alguma ao ou evento temporrio. I am speaking to you guys right now. We are studying. What are they doing? (now, right now) She isn't working. Algumas vezes, "now" se refere a um perodo de tempo no qual a ao ou evento est acontecendo, portanto podemos usar o Present Continuous para expressar algo em processo. Contudo, a ao pode no estar ocorrendo neste exato momento, ou seja, o perodo de tempo no coincide com o tempo gramatical.
