To make the present continuous we use to be and then the -ing (gerund) form of a verb.

We use the present continuous to talk about things happening at the moment:
The children are eating.
I am running late.
Tom is doing the project.

We can also use the present continuous to talk about ongoing events or future plans:

She is playing goalie in the football match on Friday.
