In English, the present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking or around the current time. It is formed with the verb 'to be' in the present tense, followed by the base form of the main verb and the ending '-ing' (e.g., 'I am writing'). Consider the following sentence: 'The construction workers [are building] a new office block across the street.' Identify the use of the present continuous in this sentence and explain why it is the most appropriate tense to convey the ongoing action described. In your answer, include the construction of the present continuous tense and its significance in clearly communicating actions in progress.
