If it is happening or still happening, you need to add 'ing' to the verb. Of course, there are numerous spelling rules on adding 'ing', such as the following examples: smiling, asking, sobbing, admitting, picnicking, stopping

With 'be' the -ing form makes the continuous form of the verb phrase:were eating, was playing, is having.without be it forms the -ing participle, which is the first verb of an -ing clause:I like eating, I like eating fruit.
A word formed by suffixing "-ing" to a verb can be either the present participle of the verb or a gerund, which is a verb form used as a noun.
Progressive verb form, also known as continuous verb form, is used to indicate actions that are ongoing or in progress. It is formed by combining a form of the verb "to be" with the present participle of the main verb (ending in -ing). For example, "I am talking" or "She is eating."
It is a verb form, ending in -ing. But it is used as a noun.
We use -ing at the end of a verb to form a gerund, a present participle, or a progressive verb. Examples: Gerund: Watching movies is enjoyable." present participle: The visiting family members wanted to see the new baby." progressive verb: I am writing an answer now." When a verb ends with the letter "e," we drop the "e" and then add "ing."
Progressive tense indicates an action that is ongoing. Future progressive indicates an action that will be ongoing in the future. It is created by "will be" + ing form of verb. Here are examples of sentences in future progressive:She will be singing in the church choir's Christmas concert.I will be driving to Alaska tomorrow.
