TENSE TUESDAY: WORDS USED WITH PRESENT CONTINUOUS (PRESENTLY): meaning and examples
Hello, readers! For the previous two Tense Tuesday posts, we have looked at words we often use with the Present Progressive. Today we are looking at another word we often use with this tense: PRESENTLY.
There are two definitions for PRESENTLY.
Definition 1: at the present time; now.
Definition 2: after a short time; soon.
With the Present Progressive, we use the first definition.
Example 1: They are presently waiting to be seen by the doctor.
Example 2: He is presently living in an apartment while his house is being renovated.
In this sense, the word PRESENTLY is very similar to the word CURRENTLY. We looked at CURRENTLY last week:
