Study this example situation:

Sarah is in her car. She is on her way to work. She is driving to work.

this means: she is driving now, at the time of speaking. The action is not finished.

please don't make so much noise. I'm trying to work (not I try)

(at the party) hello, Jane. Are you enjoying the party?(not do you enjoy)

what's all this noise? what's going on?

The action is not necessarily happening at the time of speaking.

You're working hard today.(not you work hard today).yes i have a lot to do.

The company I work for isn't doing so well this year.

We use the present continuous when we talk about changes happening around now, especially with these verbs:

get/change/become/increase/rise/fall/grow/improve/begin/start

Is your English getting better?

The population of the world is increasing very fast.

At first I didn't like my job, but I'm beginning to enjoy it now.

Complete the sentences with the following verbs in the correct form:

get / happen / look / lose / make / start / stay / try / work

1. You 're working hard today, yes, I have a lot to do.

2. I'm looking for Christine. Do you know where she is ?

3. It is getting dark. Shall i turn on the light?

4. They don't have anywhere to live at the moment. They are staying with friends until they find somewhere.

5. Things are not so good at work. The company is losing money.

6. Have you got an umbrella? It is starting to rain.

7. You are making a lot of noise. Can you be quieter ? I am trying to concentrate.

8. Why are all these people here? What is happening?
