Hi, why don't we say "isn't working" ? Most English learners associate present cont. with "right now".

Thank you!! I recently attended the C2.1 and C2.2 level courses and I took the EOI exams a couple of years ago and nobody explained that to me!! That's the problem with English teachers in Spain, they teach a language that is not always real.
