In Latvian grammar, the Present Progressive tense is not expressed as a separate form like it is in English. Instead, the Present tense is used and the context reveals the continuous action. However, phrases can be constructed to express ongoing actions, typically using the word ‘paลกlaik’ (right now) or forming a phrase using the verb ‘bลซt’ (to be) in Present Tense and an action verb in infinitive or the present participle form.
