As you can see, each of the French sentences has three different meanings in English which is nice because you don't have to spend loads of time trying to figure out how you say something that is happening right now because in French, it's all the same! (This works the same way for negative sentences too!)
That's it for this leçon! It's time now to move on to the next one!
