USE 3 Near Future




Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something
will or will not happen in the near future.
Examples:
  • I am meeting some friends after work.
  • I am not going to the party tonight.
  • Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
  • Isn't he coming with us tonight?




USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with "Always",



The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses
the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the
meaning is like Simple Present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put
the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing."
Examples:
  • She is always coming to class late.
  • He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up.
  • I don't like them because they are always complaining.
