What �s the difference between progressive present tense and continuous present tense? |

I believe there is no difference. Present progressive is just another way of saying present continuous. |

I agree. I don �t think there is any difference between them. |

Present progressive is what we use in America.

None!
Progressive means Continuous - action in progression - just a matter of nomenclatures. |

That �s what I thought. I called it continuous (which is what I told the students), then when I went to make sure, all my books said progressive. Thanks, everyone, for all your wonderful help! |
