Tips

grammar
我正 is not an entry word in itself — it's a high-frequency segmenter fragment from (I) + (just / in the middle of). The full progressive structure is 正在 (zhèngzài) + verb or + verb + /. Useful as a recognized phrase pattern when you hear 我正... ('I was just about to...') or 我正... ('I am currently...').
