Default Re: the differenses betweeen the usage of present continous and past continous.

present continuous is used when you are talking about an action that is in progress now.

I am writing a response to your question.

past continuous is used when you are talking about an action that was in progress at some certain fixed point in time in the past.

I was reading your question 2 minutes ago.
