Look! A thunderstorm is coming our way

I am sweaty because I am running a marathon

The boys are playing outside but their stuff is still here. 

 Present Continuous 

Something is going on as we speak

Signal words: Shhh! / look! / right now / as we speak / now 

 

Present continuous

To form a present continuous sentence: 

Am / are / is + verb + ing
