Present Continous
Tenses VS Pas Continous Tense
The
Present continuous can be used to show an action which
is happening at the time of speaking.

The Past
continuous can be used to show an action which was happening in the
past. It is important to remember that the Past continuous is usually used to
show an action which was happening when another action, which is usually
shorter, happened at the same time, stopped the continuous action or started
after the continuous action.
I was having dinner when Sarah called me.
I was walking along the beach when it started raining.
The
Future continuous is used to show that an action will be happening at a time
in the future.
