Questions & Answers about Сегодня я работаю дома продуктивно и спокойно.

Why is there no separate word for "am" in я работаю? In English we say “I am working.”

Russian doesn’t use a separate verb like to be in the present tense for actions.

• я работаю literally means “I work / I am working”.
• The ending -ю on работаю already shows:
  • person: 1st person
  • number: singular
  • tense: present
  • aspect: imperfective

So Russian doesn’t need a word like am; the verb ending carries that information. Context decides whether you understand it as I work (general) or I am working (right now).

Could I change the word order, like Я сегодня работаю дома продуктивно и спокойно or Сегодня дома я работаю продуктивно и спокойно?
