Ex: Call me as the concert is finishing and I'll pick you up.

Why do we use Continuous in the first part? Could you please explain the rule to me?
Top answer
It's not wrong to say Call me as the concert finishes and I'll pick you up, but the Continuous tense is commonly used to stress the duration of an event. eg Mary phoned me while I was cooking dinner.
