When we talk about something happening 'now', 'at the moment' or in pictures, we often use the Present Continuous. For example :
(?) Is he swimming
at the moment? Yes, he is.
(-) No, he isn't. He
isn't swimming.
(+) He is reading at
the moment.
EG
: He
is walking
now. She
is eating
at the moment.
We use the auxiliary verb 'to be' plus 'ing' on the main verb.
I am ... ing
You are ... ing
He is ... ing
She is ... ing
It is ... ing
We are ... ing
You are ... ing
They are ... ing

Teachers: This is a worksheet to practice the Present Continuous, which I've found to be very useful for lower level students, both children and adults. I'm not sure if I have permission to reproduce the images, so if they're yours please let me know :)
