    The document discusses the present progressive tense, which is used to indicate continuing or ongoing actions happening now. It is formed by combining the present form of the verb "to be" with the present participle form of the main verb ending in "-ing". Examples are given such as "I am buying Christmas gifts" and "She is working during the holiday break". A table then shows common verbs like "to walk", "to sleep", and "to be" conjugated in the present progressive tense in both singular and plural forms.
