Form and use
Also known as the present progressive, we use the present continuous with a form of be (am, is, are, were):
You are you doing this.
We are doing that.
They are going to do that.
Generally this form is used to describe something temporary which is happening now or around now. Either way, this event is happening for a limited period. These events can be constant, repeated or intermittent.
