The use of the Present Progressive in these examples indicates that some activity is going on is
in progress), and that it extends over a period of time, including "now" (the moment of speaking).
Expressions such as "now-a-days", "this month", "these days" etc. are used to refer to the
your period of time during which the activity takes place. It is understood, however, that the acivity
which is taking place is only temporary - it is not normal or permanent. In this sense the
Present Progressive differs from the Present Simple, which refers to a relatively permanent
activity or state.
