Why practice Present Continuous exercises?
These Present Continuous exercises guide you from basics to confident usage. Start with affirmative sentences (am/is/are + -ing), then learn negatives and questions. You'll master tricky -ing spelling rules (sitting, making, lying), understand why some verbs can't be used in continuous form, and practise using Present Continuous for future plans. Finally, compare with Present Simple to know exactly when to use each tense.
