Summary
I’m recording this podcast right now. These days, I’m also working on a new pronunciation course. And tomorrow, I’m meeting a friend for coffee. Did you notice something? In all three sentences, I used the present progressive tense. But each one has a different meaning. So what’s going on here? If you’ve ever wondered why we use “I’m doing” in different ways, today’s podcast English lesson is going to make this really clear.
