Объяснение:

Present Continuous (настоящее продолженное время)

Construction

I/you/we/they/he/she/it + am/is/are + verb + -ing

Example

He + is + reading (a book)

Three cases in using Present Continuous:

1) Actions, that happening right now:  

That girl is playing tennis.

Та девочка сейчас играет в теннис.  

2) Actions, that happening in present but not at this moment:

Now I’m living in New York but it’s temporary.

Я сейчас живу в Нью-Йорке, но это временно.  

I'm working hard on my English to get into university.

Я налегаю на английский, чтобы поступить в университет.

3) Something you planned and agreed with other people

Как правило, это планы, в осуществлении которых человек на сто процентов уверен. Если вы записаны к стоматологу, созвонились с другом, чтобы встретиться ровно в пять, собираетесь сдавать экзамены, и расписание известно — смело используйте Present Continuous.

Чтобы собеседник понял, что речь идет о будущем, добавляют слова-маркеры: завтра, в следующий вторник, сегодня вечером и т.д.  

I’m visiting my dentist tomorrow.

Я завтра иду к стоматологу.  

Are you meeting Sam tonight?

Ты сегодня встречаешься с Сэмом?  

I’m having my exam at 11.

У меня экзамен в 11.
