The present continuous is a verb tense that is used to depict ongoing circumstances or activities, as well as routine actions and occurrences that are still being seen. It employs the present form of the verb (V1 Form) and adds the suffix -ing, resulting in v1+ing.
Eating, sleeping, reading, and coming, for example.
When we want to employ a verb in the third person singular, we use the v1+ing form of the verb as the assisting verb.
E Example – Shyam is sleeping.
