Tips

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