1. Formation of the Present Continuous: Explain that the present continuous is formed by using the verb 'to be' in the simple present (am, is, are) followed by the gerund of the main verb (verb + 'ing'). For instance: 'I am eating', 'She is reading', 'They are playing'.

2. Usage of the Present Continuous: Clarify that the present continuous is applied to actions occurring now, temporary actions, planned future actions, and evolving situations. Examples include: 'I am studying for my exams' (action now), 'She is living with her aunt for a month' (temporary action), 'We are meeting them tomorrow' (planned future action), 'The weather is getting colder' (changing situation).

3. Spelling Rules for the Gerund: Go through the spelling rules for forming the gerund, like adding 'ing' to the base verb, removing the final 'e' for verbs that end in 'e' (make > making), doubling the last consonant for short verbs with a vowel followed by a consonant (run > running), and keeping the 'y' for verbs ending in 'y' (play > playing).

4. Practical Examples: Provide various practical examples of sentences in the present continuous, including affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms. Examples: 'I am not watching TV right now', 'Are you coming to the party?', 'He is not doing his homework.'
