Explanation:

Present tense:

• The term "present tense" refers to a verb form in grammar that often indicates that the event described by the verb is occurring at the moment or right now.

Present continuous tense:

• Present progressive tense conjugation is as easy as is/am/are+ (verb 1+ing) i.e. to be (am, is, are) + verb (present participle)

• It depends on the subject of our sentence i.e. changes according to singular or plural.

• The structural formula : Subject+ is/am/are+ (verb 1+ing)+ Object.

• The present progressive or present continuous tense describes an action or situation in progress and the continuity of the action (going on now, frequently, and may go on.)

• All the above-mentioned sentences are rewritten in present continuous tense which is done by adding -ing to the base verb.
• But sometimes we have to change the word a little. Perhaps we double the last letter, or we drop a letter.
