Best Answer

Eating is a present participle, which can be used as a gerund, an adjective, or a verb. When present participles are used as verbs, they create the progressive (continuous) forms and require the use of an auxiliary verb to show tense. Am/is/are eatingis the present progressive tense. The past progressive tense is was/were eating.
