Take a look at the headline of this lesson above again. Ik ben aan het slapen. What do you think it means in Dutch? Can you translate the title of this lesson from Dutch into English? If yes, then you have read my last lesson on sleeping in Dutch.
Sleeping
I am sleeping. Translation? Ik ben aan het slapen.

In my last lesson on sleeping, I talked about how the Dutch phrase above is a present continuous. Why? Because it is an event that is happening now. In English grammar, it is not happening in the past, or future, but it is happening right now.
