“… Dad was going away.” gives us that idea that “Dad” was going away somewhere for a period of time (maybe a business trip, moving to another town/country, going on holiday etc)

Thank you for your nice comments. I must apologise for such a long delay in answering, things beyond my control.
Yes, “leave” can certainly be used as a continuous verb both as an action happening now:
“The train that is leaving platform one goes to Manchester.”
or as a future arrangement:
“I’m leaving at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning”

Dad was going away.” ?
Do you think both sentences are correct and have the same meaning?
Please advise me.

Thank you for your excellent website of learning English.
It’s one of the best English websites. And I do appreciate your valuable information.
I have a question.
Can I use “leave” as a continuous verb?
Is this sentence correct “while I was in the kitchen, Dad was leaving.” ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
