what is present progressive? The present progressive tense is used for an ongoing action in the present. For example: John is baking a cake. They are painting the fence. Even though it is a present tense, the present progressive tense can also be used to describe an activity that is going to happen in the future (especially for planned activities). For example: We are moving to New Zealand in the summer. The train is arriving in 2 minutes. awda
