Explanation
The word currently tells us what is happening now or at the present time. It is used to describe situations, actions, or conditions that are ongoing. For example, “I am currently studying” means the studying is happening right now. It often helps distinguish between the present and the past or future. In conversation, it can also mean “at the moment” or “as of now”. Using “currently” makes sentences clearer when talking about the present state of things, whether it’s personal, professional, or general situations.
