Other verbs: to want, live, etc.
Usamos el Present Progressive:
1) Para referirnos a situaciones que ocurren en el momento en el que hablamos (por ejemplo, situaciones que podemos ver u oír). Por este motivo esta forma suele estar acompañada de adverbios de tiempo como now o at the moment.
Ejemplos: Mary is doing her homework now
2) Para hablar de situaciones que son temporales. Estas situaciones son más largas que el momento en que hablamos y ocurren en un periodo de tiempo limitado.
Está indicado por adverbios de tiempo (this week/month/year, for (six weeks), currently, nowadays etc.)
