How to use present Tense and Present Progressive in the same sentence.
In English you can say I am working and very busy at the moment. Does that apply in Spanish as well. Estoy trabajando y muy ocupada hoy?
Thank you.

Even though I see it violated here all the time by natives (so I assume that it is prescriptive use) Spanish doesn't distibute words across conjunctions as much as we do in English. They repeat the words....es para Juan y para Maria vs es para Juan y Maria.
Estoy trabajando y muy ocupada hoy?
In your sentence, I would repeat the subject and verb on both sides of the conjuntion.
Estoy trabajando y estoy muy ocupada hoy.
Again, I see natives here violate that concept everyday, but I did read it somewhere. I've just failed to see it practiced much so if someone laughs at my suggestion, it's not unexpected.
