In a number of phrases the present continuous tense ( eg is ''finishing')has been used by students and teachers - now it is incorrect?

I agree; why is it wrong in this case?

Can the reflexive verb be used here, ie ... la gara si finsche?

Snail racing?

I was thinking along those lines! A race that ends slowly is an oddity for sure.

DL, what the heck.....race, slowly ending....what is this supposed to mean?

"...finishes slowly." Nope! Incorrect!

'the race ends' is not a phrase we would use in English much, but 'the race is finishing' we would use. Why is 'the race is finishing' wrong?
