How do you make study a present progressive?

You can't directly make "study" into the present progressive tense. "Study" is a stative verb, meaning it describes a state of being or a condition rather than an action. Stative verbs are generally not used in the present progressive tense.

Here are some examples of how to express studying in the present progressive tense:

* I am studying for my exam. (This focuses on the ongoing action of studying)

* She is learning about history. (This focuses on the process of acquiring knowledge)

* They are reading their textbooks. (This focuses on the specific action involved in studying)

Instead of using the present progressive tense with "study," you can use the simple present tense to express ongoing actions or habits:

* I study every day.

* She studies history.

* They study together.

Remember that the present progressive tense is typically used for actions happening now, while the simple present tense can be used for habits, general truths, or actions happening at the moment of speaking.
