Você sabia?
Essa estrutura que acabamos de estudar (to be + gerund verb) é chamada de Present Continuous. Como o nome já diz, o Present Continuous é também usado para falar do presente, mas vamos tratar desse assunto em outra oportunidade.
Uma dica é se ligar no contexto e nas expressões que indicam tempo:
tomorrow, this weekend, next week, on Sunday, in January, on my birthday, in five years são exemplos de expressões que indicam futuro.
right now, at this moment, as we speak e nowadays são exemplos de expressões que indicam presente.
