Should I be using the men's or women's facility when I have to help her?
the sentence above is from "Dear abby". the present contiguous is used in the sentence as you can see. can I take it as a way of expressing politeness? I guess "Should I use the men's or women's facility when I have to help her?" is also right. isn't it?
