Every moment/every minute you are helping them, you’re not doing work yourself time
Hello.
I am wondering about this construction:
every minute/moment you are helping them, you are not doing work yourself.
Is it okay to use the continuous tenses in this example
Top answer
Yes, it's the correct way to express this meaning, but note that 'continuous' is not a tense; it's an aspect. Your sentence is thus present tense, progressive aspect.
