Ing

Hello,

I am standing on the table.

You are looking at the dog.

What are you thinking about?

Can you please tell me simply if the ing above in noun or verb and why.

Thank you very much.

Hi, The 'ing' words in your examples are Present Participle verb forms. The sentences use the Present Continous tense, which is formed from the present tense of the verb 'be' + present participle . eg I am writing this explanation for you.
